Metatranscriptomic analysis of sulfur oxidation genes in the endosymbiont of Solemya velum

Thioautotrophic endosymbionts in the Domain Bacteria mediate key sulfur transformations in marine reducing environments. However, the molecular pathways underlying symbiont metabolism and the extent to which these pathways are expressed in situ are poorly characterized for almost all symbioses. Th...
