Taxonomic and biosynthetic diversity of the marine actinomycete Salinispora across spatial scales.

Abstract excerpt

The spatial scales of bacterial taxonomic and natural product biosynthetic diversity remain poorly understood. This is especially true at the population level, where contrasts between small and large-scale biogeographical patterns are seldom reported. To address these unknowns for the marine actinomycete genus Salinispora, we sequenced the genomes of 99 strains cultured from sediments collected within a 1 m2 plot...
