Symbiotic bivalves at hydrothermal vents and cold seeps host chemosynthetic bacteria
intracellularly in gill cells. In bivalves, the gills grow continuously throughout their lifetime by …

Micro‐organisms are known to degrade a wide range of toxic substances. How the environment
shapes microbial communities in polluted ecosystems and thus influences degradation …

Syntrophy among Archaea and Bacteria facilitates the anaerobic degradation of organic
compounds to CH 4 and CO 2 . Particularly during aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbon …

The deep-sea mussel Bathymodiolus harbors chemosynthetic bacteria in its gills that provide
it with nutrition. Symbiont colonization is assumed to occur in early life stages by uptake …

METHOD In addition to procedures for preparation of fluorescently labeled substrates (Steps
1-6), probe assessment (Steps 7-9), and CARD-FISH (Steps 28-44 and 45-48 [multicolor]), …

During austral spring and summer, the coastal Antarctic experiences a sharp increase in
primary production and a steepening of biotic and abiotic gradients that result from increased …

Background Regenerative agriculture has gained attention in mainstream media, academic
literature, and international politics in recent years. While many practices and outcomes …

Groundwater ecosystems are the most important sources of drinking water worldwide but
they are threatened by contamination and overexploitation. Petroleum spills account for the …

The hydrothermal vent mussel Bathymodiolus puteoserpentis (Mytilidae) from the Mid-Atlantic
Ridge hosts symbiotic sulfur- and methane-oxidizing bacteria in its gills. In this study, we …

Despite being perpetually cold, seasonally ice-covered and dark, the coastal Southern
Ocean is highly productive and harbors a diverse microbiota. During the austral summer, ice-free …
