Abstract

<jats:title>ABSTRACT</jats:title> <jats:p> <jats:named-content content-type="genus-species">Ruegeria pomeroyi</jats:named-content> expresses carbon monoxide (CO) dehydrogenase and oxidizes CO; however, CO has no effect on growth. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra showed that CO has no effect on cellular metabolite profiles. These data support ecosystem models proposing that, even though bacterioplankton CO oxidation is biogeochemically significant, it has an insignificant effect on bacterioplankton productivity. </jats:p>
