Research Questions How widespread are these symbioses in nature? Who are the symbionts? Phylogenetic affiliations? Metabolic diversity? Host/symbiont associations species-specific? Role in the cycling of energy, carbon, and nutrients ? Evolution of chemosynthetic symbionts parallel evolution of eukaryotic organelles?
