Metagenomic analysis shows the presence of bacteria related to free-living forms of sulfur-Oxidizing Chemolithoautotrophic Symbionts in the rhizosphere of the seagrass Zostera marina

Seagrasses play an important role as ecosystem engineers; they provide shelter to many animals and improve water quality by filtering out nutrients and by controlling pathogens. Moreover, their rhizosphere promotes a myriad of microbial interactions and processes, which are dominated by microorganis...
