Feeding strategies in symbiotic and asymbiotic thyasirid bivalves

Many bivalves living in symbiosis with chemoautotrophic bacteria are mixotrophs, deriving nutrients both from their symbionts and from external sources. The bivalve family Thyasiridae contains symbiotic and asymbiotic species that live infaunally and presumably suspension-feed. Symbiotic thyasirids...
