Tiny genomic islands help ocean's most abundant bacteria respond flexibly to environmental changes

Using third-generation metagenomics, researchers from the Department of Plant Production and Microbiology at the Miguel Hernández University of Elche (UMH) have uncovered the genomic basis behind the evolutionary success of the SAR11 marine bacteria, the most abundant bacteria in the ocean.
