Evolution in action: habitat transition from sediment to the pelagial leads to genome streamlining in Methylophilaceae

The most abundant aquatic microbes are small in cell and genome size. Genome-streamlining theory predicts gene loss caused by evolutionary selection driven by environmental factors, favouring superior competitors for limiting resources. However, evolutionary histories of such abundant, genome-stream...
