The Transcriptome of <em>Bathymodiolus azoricus</em> Gill Reveals Expression of Genes from Endosymbionts and Free-Living Deep-Sea Bacteria

The Transcriptome of <em>Bathymodiolus azoricus</em> Gill Reveals Expression of Genes from Endosymbionts and Free-Living Deep-Sea Bacteria

Deep-sea environments are largely unexplored habitats where a surprising number of species may be found in large communities, thriving regardless of the darkness, extreme cold, and high pressure. Their unique geochemical features result in reducing environments rich in methane and sulfides, sustaini...
