Anaerobic sulfur oxidation underlies adaptation of a chemosynthetic symbiont to oxic-anoxic interfaces
G. F. Paredes, T. Viehboeck, R. Lee…·L. Koenig
This study investigates how oxygen affects the physiology and metabolism of Candidatus Thiosymbion oneisti, an ectosymbiont of marine nematodes, revealing that sulfur oxidation genes are upregulated under anoxia.
