Cell cycle dysregulation of globally important SAR11 bacteria resulting from environmental perturbation

Chuankai Cheng, Brittany D. Bennett, Pratixa Savalia, Hasti Asrari, Carmen Biel, Kate A. Evans, Rui Tang, J. Cameron Thrash

This study shows that SAR11 bacteria, despite having streamlined genomes, experience cell cycle dysregulation under environmental stress, leading to growth inhibition and aneuploidy.
