    Abstract Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) comprise a vast pool of low molecular weight and rapidly diffusible chemicals that are emitted from all cells as well as by photolysis of dissolved organic matter and burning of fossil fuels. In the ocean, VOCs are an important component of the marine carbon cycle, serving as plankton growth products and substrates and also as info-chemicals that influence phytoplankton life cycles. When VOCs are emitted from the ocean into the atmosphere, they alter Earth's radiative budget through oxidation reactions and secondary aerosol formation. Marine phytoplankton are the primary biotic source of marine VOCs, many of which are exploited as nutrient resources by ubiquitous bacterioplankton that have evolved specific mechanisms to consume these compounds. Thus, the balance of VOC production and consumption exerts control on the concentrations of dissolved VOCs at the sea-air interface. Current simulations of atmospheric chemistry do not take into account biological controls of dissolved VOCs. Linkages between phytoplankton communities, VOC composition, and surface ocean properties are promising avenues for improving the next generation of chemical transport models that quantify and predict VOC emissions. We suggest that VOC accumulation may be predictable by identifying periods when plankton communities are disrupted by biological or physical processes. Layered models that use remote sensing and ocean physics to measure the states and trajectories of plankton assemblages have promise for predicting ocean sea-air VOC transfer.

    Abstract In this review, we consider the regulatory strategies of aquatic oligotrophs, microbial cells that are adapted to thrive under low-nutrient concentrations in oceans, lakes, and other aquatic ecosystems. Many reports have concluded that oligotrophs use less transcriptional regulation than copiotrophic cells, which are adapted to high nutrient concentrations and are far more common subjects for laboratory investigations of regulation. It is theorized that oligotrophs have retained alternate mechanisms of regulation, such as riboswitches, that provide shorter response times and smaller amplitude responses and require fewer cellular resources. We examine the accumulated evidence for distinctive regulatory strategies in oligotrophs. We explore differences in the selective pressures copiotrophs and oligotrophs encounter and ask why, although evolutionary history gives copiotrophs and oligotrophs access to the same regulatory mechanisms, they might exhibit distinctly different patterns in how these mechanisms are used. We discuss the implications of these findings for understanding broad patterns in the evolution of microbial regulatory networks and their relationships to environmental niche and life history strategy. We ask whether these observations, which have emerged from a decade of increased investigation of the cell biology of oligotrophs, might be relevant to recent discoveries of many microbial cell lineages in nature that share with oligotrophs the property of reduced genome size.

    Abstract Bacteria of the SAR202 clade, within the phylum Chloroflexota, are ubiquitously distributed in the ocean but have not yet been cultivated in the lab. It has been proposed that ancient expansions of catabolic enzyme paralogs broadened the spectrum of organic compounds that SAR202 bacteria could oxidize, leading to transformations of the Earth's carbon cycle. Here, we report the successful cultivation of SAR202 bacteria from surface seawater using dilution-to-extinction culturing. The growth of these strains is very slow (0.18-0.24 day

    Abstract Aquatic bacteria frequently are divided into lifestyle categories oligotroph or copiotroph. Oligotrophs have proportionately fewer transcriptional regulatory genes than copiotrophs and are generally non-motile/chemotactic. We hypothesized that the absence of chemotaxis/motility in oligotrophs prevents them from occupying nutrient patches long enough to benefit from transcriptional regulation. We first confirmed that marine oligotrophs are generally reduced in genes for transcriptional regulation and motility/chemotaxis. Next, using a non-motile oligotroph (Ca. Pelagibacter st. HTCC7211), a motile copiotroph (Alteromonas macleodii st. HOT1A3), and [

    Abstract Marine bacterioplankton face stiff competition for limited nutrient resources. SAR11, a ubiquitous clade of very small and highly abundant Alphaproteobacteria, are known to devote much of their energy to synthesizing ATP-binding cassette periplasmic proteins that bind substrates.

    Abstract Aquatic bacteria frequently are divided into lifestyle categories oligotroph or copiotroph. Oligotrophs have proportionately fewer transcriptional regulatory genes than copiotrophs and are generally non‐motile/chemotactic. We hypothesized that the absence of chemotaxis/motility in oligotrophs prevents them from occupying nutrient patches long enough to benefit from transcriptional regulation. We first confirmed that marine oligotrophs are generally reduced in genes for transcriptional regulation and motility/chemotaxis. Next, using a non‐motile oligotroph (Ca. Pelagibacter st. HTCC7211), a motile copiotroph (Alteromonas macleodii st. HOT1A3), and [¹⁴C]l‐alanine, we confirmed that l‐alanine catabolism is not transcriptionally regulated in HTCC7211 but is in HOT1A3. We then found that HOT1A3 took 2.5–4 min to initiate l‐alanine oxidation at patch l‐alanine concentrations, compared to <30 s for HTCC7211. By modelling cell trajectories, we predicted that, in most scenarios, non‐motile cells spend <2 min in patches, compared to >4 min for chemotactic/motile cells. Thus, the time necessary for transcriptional regulation to initiate prevents transcriptional regulation from being beneficial for non‐motile oligotrophs. This is supported by a mechanistic model we developed, which predicted that HTCC7211 cells with transcriptional regulation of l‐alanine metabolism would produce 12% of their standing ATP stock upon encountering an l‐alanine patch, compared to 880% in HTCC7211 cells without transcriptional regulation.
