Abstract Heterotrophic bacteria and archaea (‘heteroprokaryotes’) drive global carbon cycling, but how to quantitatively organize their functional complexity remains unclear. We generated a global-scale understanding of marine heteroprokaryotic biogeography by synthesizing genetic sequencing data with mechanistic ecosystem model. incorporated diversity into the trait-based model along two axes: substrate lability growth strategy. Using sequences three ocean transects, we compiled 21 guilds estimated degree optimization for rapid (copiotrophy). Data consistency indicated that gradients in grazing predominantly set biogeographical patterns, identified deep-ocean ‘slow copiotrophs’ whose ecological interactions control surface accumulation dissolved organic carbon.

Abstract Growth rate is a key prokaryotic trait that allows estimating fitness and understanding cell metabolism. While in some clades it has been well studied model organisms, there little data on slow-growing bacteria. In particular, lack of quantitative studies the species Brucella genus. This an important microorganism since causative agent brucellosis, one most widespread bacterial zoonoses affecting several animals, including humans. exhibit approximately 97% genomic similarity. Despite this, show different host preferences, zoonotic risks, pathogenicity. After more than hundred years research, numerous aspects biology, such as vivo vitro growth remain poorly characterized. this work, we analyzed vegetative intracellular classical ( B. abortus 2308, melitensis 16M. suis 1330, ovis , canis ). Strikingly, each displayed particular parameters culture. Doubling time (DT) spanned from 2.7 hs -1 to 18h for . context infection J774A.1 phagocytic cells, DT was higher, but widely varied across species, closely correlating observed Overall, despite high similarity genomes, found species-specific cycle.
