Abstract excerpt
Teredinibacter turnerae is a cultivable intracellular endosymbiont of xylotrophic (woodfeeding)bivalves of the Family Teredinidae (shipworms). Although T. turnerae has been isolated from many shipworm taxa collected in many locations, no systematic effort has been made to explore genetic diversity within this symbiont species across the taxonomic and geographical range of its hosts. The mode of symbiont...
