Abundant presence of the gamma-like Proteobacterial pufM gene in oxic seawater
Known anoxygenic photosynthetic bacteria (APB) affiliated to Gammaproteobacteria usually use anaerobic metabolism and are restricted to oxygen-free habitats. Here, we report abundant (average of 34.5%) presence of diverse APB related to gamma-like Proteobacteria in oxic oceanic surface water as indi...
