Abstract
Abstract The evolutionary trajectory of Methylophilaceae includes habitat transitions from freshwater sediments to freshwater and marine pelagial that resulted in genome reduction (genome-streamlining) of the pelagic taxa. However, the extent of genetic similarities in the genomic structure and microdiversity of the two genome-streamlined pelagic lineages (freshwater “Ca. Methylopumilus” and the marine OM43 lineage) has so far never been compared. Here, we analyzed complete genome
