Microautoradiography and fluorescence in situ hybridization confirmed bicarbonate uptake and particle association of SAR324 cells. The SAR324 genomes also suggested C 1 metabolism and a particle-associated life-style. These results corroborated community DNA and RNA profiling from diverse geographic regions. Multiple cells of Deltaproteobacteria cluster SAR324, Gammaproteobacteria clusters ARCTIC96BD-19 and Agg47, and some Oceanospirillales from the lower mesopelagic contained ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase and sulfur oxidation genes. Using single-cell sorting and whole-genome amplification of prokaryotes from two subtropical gyres, we obtained genomic DNA from 738 cells representing most cosmopolitan lineages. Recent studies suggest that unidentified prokaryotes fix inorganic carbon at globally significant rates in the immense dark ocean.
