Metagenomic binning reveals community and functional characteristics of sulfur- and methane-oxidizing bacteria in cold seep sponge ground
The chemosynthetic environment shapes the high relative abundance of key functional groups that dominate the symbiotic community, while the species differences among host sponges determine the strain selection within these groups. The metabolic functions expressed by this "convergence with divergence" community structure collectively endow the holobionts with the ability to adapt to the cold seep environment.
