Symbiosis between mussels of the genus Bathymodiolus and sulfur-oxidizing and methanotrophic bacteria located in their gills enables these bivalves to live in harsh environments, such as deep-sea hydrothermal vents. This symbiosis is flexible, as the abundance of each symbiont varies according to the available chemical substrata. Our goal was to investigate mechanisms underlying this flexibility based on experiments in vessels, pressurized or not. Cell proliferation in gills, monitored by immunolabelling of mitosis markers and by in vivo incorporation of synthetic nucleotides, showed multiplication areas in the ciliated zone and the dorsal region of the gills. Apoptosis, quantified by specific labelling, shows that Bathymodiolus gills displ...
