Figure shows the likely habitats of vibrio bacteria populations mapped by MIT researchers onto a phylogenetic tree for all strains found in the samples taken from the Atlantic Ocean near Plum Island, Mass. Dot colors indicate the size of the bacteria (the largest attach to zooplankton, next size attaches to large organic particles, then small organic particles, and finally the smallest are free-fl...
