Diverse deep-sea anglerfishes share a genetically reduced luminous symbiont that is acquired from the environment

Deep-sea anglerfishes are relatively abundant and diverse, but their luminescent bacterial symbionts remain enigmatic.The genomes of two symbiont species have qualities common to vertically transmitted, host-dependent bacteria.However, a number of traits suggest that these symbionts may be environmentally acquired.To determine how anglerfish symbio
