Authors contribution<br />

PW conceived the study, initiated, conducted the experimental analysis, validated microarray<br />

and optimized experimental steps, wrote the manuscript, did the statistical analysis and<br />

analyzed the data.<br />

CK was involved in the chemostat cultivation of R. baltica and statistical analysis of the data<br />

AE wrote MADA the microarray analysis tool and designed the microarrays.<br />

CQ was responsible for the automatic reannotation of the genome and set up the web access<br />

PL and JH established the chemostat cultivation of R. baltica. JH supervised the chemostat<br />

cultivation.<br />

FOG contributed background information and was involved in writing and finishing the<br />

manuscript.<br />

All authors read and approved the final manuscript.<br />

Acknowledgements<br />

We thank Sylke Wohlrab for preliminary work and Matthias Gottschall for excellent<br />

technical assistance in the chemostat cultivation.<br />

The setup of the microarray and transcriptomic analysis of Rhodopirellula baltica was<br />

supported by European Commission contract GOCE-CT-2004-505403.<br />
