Therefore, we studied the deep-sea Riftia pachyptila symbiosis, a model association in which the tubeworm host is associated with only one phylotype of endosymbiotic bacteria and completely depends on this sulfur-oxidizing symbiont for nutrition. Using a metaproteomics approach, we identified both ...

Riftia pachyptila lives in the unstable environment at hydrothermal vent sites along oceanic spreading zones in the Eastern Pacific. The tubeworm has a symbiosis with intracellular carbon-fixing and sulfide-oxidizing bacteria. Nitrate is the main source of nitrogen available from their habitat. This ...
Intracellular symbiosis requires that the host satisfy the symbiont's metabolic requirements, including the elimination of waste products. The hydrothermal vent tubeworm Riftia pachyptila and the hydrocarbon seep worm Lamellibrachia cf luymesi are symbiotic with chemolithoautotrophic bacteria that produce ...

The facultative symbiont of Riftia pachyptila , named here Candidatus Endoriftia persephone , has evaded culture to date, but much has been learned regarding this symbiosis over the past three decades since its discovery. The symbiont population metagenome was sequenced in order to gain insight into...
Riftia pachyptila is one of the most specialized invertebrate hosts of chemoautotrophic symbionts. Crucial to the functioning of this symbiosis is how these worms cope with fluctuating ion concentrations. Internal sulfate levels in R. pachyptila appear comparable with other benthic marine invertebrates, ...

pachyptila has evolved pH dependent acquisition of CO{dollar}sb2{dollar}, mediated uptake of HS{dollar}sp-{dollar}, extremely efficient pH regulation, and perhaps a novel mechanism for sulfate elimination. All of these mechanisms illustrate the great autotrophic potential of this symbiosis, which ...
