Cell-Specific Thioautotrophic Productivity of Epsilon-Proteobacterial Epibionts Associated with Shinkaia crosnieri
In this study, we report experimental evidence of the thioautotrophic activity of the epibiotic microbial community associated with the setae of Shinkaia crosnieri, a galatheid crab that is endemic to deep-sea hydrothermal systems in the Okinawa Trough in Japan. Microbial consumption of reduced sulf...
