In this study has been analyzed the genetic potential (rDNA) versus expression (crDNA) of microbial populations associated to gills of living mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis (Bivalvia: Mytilidae) in natural environment. Data obtained (16S rDNA/crDNA clones libraries) showed as sequences mainly related to Bacteroides/Chlorobi, Firmicutes and Gamma-Proteobacteria groups are specific in live mussels. It is presumed that further studies of microbial population structure with culture-independent methods will demonstrate the active interactions (symbiosis) between filter-feeding organisms and gill-associated bacteria.

Abstract
In this study has been analyzed the genetic potential (rDNA) versus expression (crDNA) of microbial populations associated to gills of living mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis (Bivalvia: Mytilidae) in natural environment. Data obtained (16S rDNA/crDNA clones libraries) showed as sequences mainly related to Bacteroides/Chlorobi, Firmicutes and Gamma-Proteobacteria groups are specific in live mussels. It is presumed that further studies of microbial population structure with culture-independent methods will demonstrate the active interactions (symbiosis) between filter-feeding organisms and gill-associated bacteria.File in questo prodotto:
