Gill DNA once written off as contamination turns up chemosynthesis genes in reef-fish bacteria
ZMT and ICBM researchers rebuilt 70 bacterial genomes from fish-gill DNA once treated as contamination, and the most widespread carry chemosynthesis genes. The study reads gene content only, so whether the microbes fix carbon or help the fish is untested.
