Host–Symbiont Interactions in Deep-Sea Chemosymbiotic Vesicomyid Clams: Insights From Transcriptome Sequencing

In deep-sea hydrothermal vents and hydrocarbon seeps, chemoautotrophic bacteria use chemical substances as energy resources for primary production, ultimately supporting dense communities of megafauna, including charismatic giant vesicomyid clams. These clams inherit their endosymbionts from their p...
