Single-amino acid variants reveal evolutionary processes that shape the biogeography of a global SAR11 subclade

Single-amino acid variants reveal evolutionary processes that shape the biogeography of a global SAR11 subclade

Members of the SAR11 order Pelagibacterales dominate the surface oceans. Their extensive diversity challenges emerging operational boundaries defined for microbial 'species' and complicates efforts of population genetics to study their evolution. Here, we employed single-amino acid variant...
