Question
Chapter 23.9, Problem 1CR
Summary Introduction
Bacteria are seen in symbiotic association with the worms seen near the hydrothermal vents on the sea. One such example is chemolithotrophic bacteria (symbionts) that exist in symbiotic association with the giant tube worm named Riftia pachyptila. The genome sequencing analysis reveals various features of the
