Modelling evolution of genome size in prokaryotes in response to changes in their abiotic environment
The size of the genomes of known free-living prokaryotes varies from � 1:3 Mbp to � 13 Mbp. This thesis proposes a possible explanation of this variation due to variability of the physical conditions of the environment. In a stable environment, competition for the resource becomes the main force of …

Phase transitions in fluids and biological systems
… systems, I find that the experimentally observed genome streamlining, specialization and opportunism may well be generic statistical phenomena.

Evolutionary Genomics of Dominant Bacterial and Archaeal Lineages in the Ocean
… marine microbial diversity and the evolution of genome architecture. In Chapter 2, I use a comparative framework to get insights into the evolutionary forces driving genome streamlining in the Ca. Marinimicrobia, a clade widely distributed in the ocean. This project shows that differences in the …

Insights into communities, metabolic and ecological potential of the bacteria of two extreme acidic environments
… SH11 suggested these organisms were undergoing genomestreamlining. The genome of these organisms was characterized by increased genedensity and fractions of genes annotated with COG or Pfam, compared to culturedisolates. The degree of genome streamlining in these organisms living inside the …
