Cavanaugh. 2009. “Genetic Subdivision of Chemosynthetic Endosymbionts of Solemya Velum Along the Southern New England Coast.” Applied and Environmental Microbiology 75 (18) (July 24): 6005–6007. doi:10.1128/aem.00689-09.0099-2240http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:14350392Population-level genetic diversity in the obligate symbiosis between the bivalve Solemya velum and its thioautotrophic bacterial endosymbiont was examined. Distinct populations along the New England coast shared a single mitochondrial genotype but were fixed for unique symbiont genotypes, indicating high levels of symbiont genetic structuring and potential symbiont-host decoupling.en-USJournal Article2015-03-3110.1128/AEM.00689-09
