The description is the same as given by Oh et al., 2010:
"“Candidatus Puniceispirillum marinum” IMCC1322 is expected to be a metabolic generalist carrying functional genes for utilizing resourceful sunlight, DMSP, CO, and C1 compounds in the surface ocean. Such metabolic potential of strain IMCC1322, the first cultured representative of the SAR116 clade, might reflect ecological niches for even more dominant marine bacterioplankton clades SAR11, Roseobacter, and SAR86."
