Ecogenomics and functional biogeography of the Roseobacter group in the global oceans based on 653 MAGs and SAGs.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Roseobacter group is a major component of prokaryotic communities in the global oceans. Information on this group is based predominantly on isolates and their genomic features and on the 16S rRNA gene. Assessments of prokaryotic communities in the pelagic of the global oceans indicated an unveiled diversity of this group but studies of the diversity and global biogeography of the entire group are still missing. Hence, we aimed at a comprehensive assessment of the Roseobacter group in the global oceans on the basis of MAGs and SAGs.

Results

The obtained 610 MAGs and 43 SAGs of high quality were subjected to in-depth analyses of their phylogeny, genomic and functional features. The recruitment locations range from the tropics to polar regions, include all major
