Deep-sea bivalves found at hydrothermal vents, cold seeps and organic falls are sustained by chemosynthetic bacteria that ensure part or all of their carbon nutrition.These symbioses are of prime importance for the functioning of the ecosystems.Similar symbioses occur in other bivalve species living in shallow and coastal reduced habitats worldwide
Analysis of chromosomal rearrangements within primary tumors Pepitas has been influential in the identification of novel oncogenes.Identification of the "driver" gene(s) within cancer-derived amplicons is, however, hampered by the fact that most amplicons contain many gene products.Amplification of 1q21-1q23 is strongly associated with liposarcomas
Fibrobacter succinogenes is an important member of the rumen microbial community that converts plant biomass into nutrients usable by its host.This bacterium, which is also one of only two cultivated species in its phylum, Baby is an efficient and prolific degrader of cellulose.Specifically, it has a particularly high activity against crystalline c
