Effects of metabolite uptake on proton-equivalent elimination by two species of deep-sea vestimentiferan tubeworm, Riftia pachyptila and Lamellibrachia cf luymesi : proton elimination is a necessary adaptation to sulfide-oxidizing chemoautotrophic symbionts

Journal: Journal of Experimental Biology
J Exp Biol (1987) 128 (1): 139–158.

Published: 1 March 1987
...ALISSA J. ARP; JAMES J. CHILDRESS; RUSSELL D. VETTER The sulphide-binding protein that occurs in high concentrations in the vascular blood and coelomic fluid of the hydrothermal vent tube-worm Riftia pachyptila Jones is the haemoglobin. Sulphide binding does not occur at the oxygen-binding sites...
