Hologenome analysis reveals dual symbiosis in the deep-sea hydrothermal vent snail Gigantopelta aegis

Symbiotic partners are rarely studied in equal depth. By assembling new genomes, Lan et al. report a novel dual symbiosis in the snail Gigantopelta aegis with two evolutionarily distant gammaproteobacterial endosymbionts: one which oxidises sulfur, the other, methane in a metabolically mutualistic r...
