Abstract
The Roseobactergroup appears to be one of the most important groups of marine bacteria, present in high abundance in various habitats. During the last 25 years a multitude of strains affiliated with this group and showing very different physiological features was obtained. The characteristics of the isolates reflect their adaptations to different ecological niches. Analysis of a constantly increasing number of Roseobacter genomes indicates an adaptive structure and at least partially explains the success of this bacterial group.
