Physical Proximity May Promote Lateral Acquisition of Bacterial Symbionts in Vesicomyid Clams. e64830

Vesicomyid clams harbor intracellular sulfur-oxidizing bacteria that are predominantly maternally inherited and co-speciate with their hosts. Genome recombination and the occurrence of non-parental strains were recently demonstrated in symbionts. However, mechanisms favoring such events remain to be...
