In-Situ Metatranscriptomic Analyses Reveal the Metabolic Flexibility of the Thermophilic Anoxygenic Photosynthetic Bacterium <i>Chloroflexus</i><i>aggregans</i> in a Hot Spring Cyanobacteria-Dominated Microbial Mat

<i>Chloroflexus aggregans</i> is a metabolically versatile, thermophilic, anoxygenic phototrophic member of the phylum <i>Chloroflexota</i> (formerly <i>Chloroflexi</i>), which can grow photoheterotrophically, photoautotrophically, chemoheterotrophically, and chem...
