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

Genomes of the “ Candidatus Actinomarinales” Order: Highly Streamlined Marine Epipelagic Actinobacteria

Abstract
Microbiology is in a new age in which sequence databases are primary sources of information about many microbes. However, in-depth analysis of environmental genomes thus retrieved is essential to substantiate the new knowledge.
