The presence and absence of key amino acid biosynthesis genes in annelids and L. luymesi symbiont. Most key genes associated with amino acid biosynthesis are missing in the genomes of four tubeworms (L. luymesi, P. echinospica, R. pachyptila, and R. piscesae). These genes are presented in the genome of L. luymesi symbionts. Two other annelids (E. andrei and H. robusta) that acquire amino acids from food also lack some key genes associated with amino acid biosynthesis
