The functional proteome landscape of a cosmopolitan oceanic bacterium.

SAR11 bacteria, the most abundant organisms in the global ocean, are an extensively studied example of streamlining, an adaptation to extremely low nutrient levels. To understand the regulation of gene function in streamlined cells, we developed a proteome map for the SAR11 type strain HTCC1062 under 13 growth conditio...
