Linking bacterial symbiont physiology to the ecology of hydrothermal vent symbioses
Symbioses between prokaryotes and eukaryotes are ubiquitous in our biosphere, nevertheless, the effects of such associations on the partners' ecology and evolution are poorly understood. At hydrothermal vents, dominant invertebrate species typically host bacterial symbionts, which use chemical...
