Scope and Contents

Contents

The protobranch bivalve Solemya velum Say, 1822 has large gills, which harbor chemolithoautotrophic bacteria that supply the majority of the clam's organic carbon. A substantial portion of the CO sub(2), O sub(2), H sub(2)S, and other nutrients necessary for symbiont autotrophy and host heterotrophy are acquired from the environment through the gil...
