Co-expression analysis reveals distinct alliances around two carbon fixation pathways in hydrothermal vent symbionts - Nature Microbiology Live tubeworm incubations reveal that chemoautotrophic symbionts regulate the Calvin–Benson–Bassham and reductive tricarboxylic acid pathways to suit geochemistry and metabolism.

β€œRiftia” is a deep sea vent tubeworm that has no mouth or digestive tract. Rather, it hosts billions of symbiotic bacteria that provide them nutrition.
Wildly, they are among the fastest growing organisms on the planet! Our paper examines *how* they pull this off.

It only took 20+ years, but the "Mystery Mollusc" paper came out this week. It is a swimming nudibranch that gallops in slow motion through the deep water-column. To top it off, it is bioluminescent, and we were able to film its glow with our special low-light camera.πŸ¦‘πŸ§ͺ

Does any body know of large taxonomic treatments of Galatheidae that would include body size? Have an undergraduate doing a research project where we need this data. #marinelife #invertebrate
