Research Abstract |
Intracellular sulfur-oxidizing symbiotic bacteria in deep-sea Calyptogena clams are harbored within their gill epithelial cells, and its genomes have been reduced through intracellular association with the hosts. It is possible that the mutations accumulate in the genes. In this study, we examined the expression of molecular chaperone genes including the chaperonin in the symbiont of C. okutanii, and whether the chaperonin functions as buffer of mutation.
