Description
Obligate aerobic chemolithoautotrophic ammonia-oxidzing bacteria (AOB) derive energy and reductant needed for growth solely from the oxidation of ammonia to nitrite thereby facilitating the process of nitritation. A strain of an ammonia-oxidizing ...

Description
In bilaterian animals, the circadian clock is intimately involved in regulating energetic metabolism. Although cnidarians exhibit diel behavioral rhythms including cycles in locomotor activity, tentacle extension and spawning, daily cycles in cnid...

Description
The phenotype of an animal cannot be explained entirely by its genes. It is now clear that factors other than the genome contribute to the ecology and evolution of animals. Two fundamentally important factors are the associated microbiota and epig...
