Abstract
ABSTRACT SAR11 bacteria are small, heterotrophic, marine alphaproteobacteria found throughout the oceans. They thrive at the low nutrient concentrations typical of open ocean conditions, although the adaptations required for life under those conditions are not well understood. To illuminate this issue, we used cryo-electron tomography to study “ Candidatus Pelagibacter ubique” strain HTCC1062, a member of the SAR11 clade. Our results revealed its ce
