A gutless clam, Solemya reidi, from sulfide-rich habitats has gills containing symbiotic, chemoautolithotrophic bacteria that are presumed to oxidize sulfide to provide a major energy source for the symbiosis. Sulfide oxidation was studied for S. reidi; activity of gill and foot extracts displayed Michaelis-Menten kinetics and was presumably due to...
