The genome of Syntrophomonas wolfei: new insights into syntrophic metabolism and biohydrogen production.

abstract：:The cattle tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus lays eggs in the soil near the roots of grass, or in similar highly moist environments that are prone to biofilm formation. Tick eggs have a protective wax coating that may be a source of nutrients for microorganisms. However, as the eggs remain viable and show no vi...
