Vertical Transmission of Chemoautotrophic Symbionts in the Bivalve Solemya velum (Bivalvia: Protobranchia)

Adults of the bivalve species Solemya velum live in symbiosis with chemoautotrophic bacteria in specialized gill bacteriocytes. The bacteria play an essential nutritional role in the mature association, fixing CO2via the Calvin cycle with energy obtained through the oxidation of reduced sulfur compo...
