‘ Endonucleobacter’ infects the nuclei of deep-sea mussels but it was unknown how they can prevent apoptosis of the host. A new study by Porras and colleagues, published in , suggests that the bacterium upregulates host-derived apoptosis inhibitors and genes for digesting sugars, lipids and amino acids acquired through horizontal gene transfer from the mussels.
“内核杆菌”感染深海贻贝的细胞核，但此前人们并不清楚它们如何防止宿主细胞凋亡。波拉斯及其同事发表在《 》上的一项新研究表明，这种细菌上调了宿主来源的凋亡抑制因子以及通过水平基因转移从贻贝那里获得的用于消化糖类、脂质和氨基酸的基因。
