Image of The Day caption:
In the late 1980s, Noellette Conway Schempf, Joint Program graduate and current WHOI Corporation Member, used a chromatograph to analyze amino acids from shallow-water clams (Solemya velum) that harbor symbiotic bacteria. Like bivalves found at hydrothermal vents, the Solemya lack a stomach but gain much of their nutrition from the bacteria, and this nutritional source is reflected in compounds in the clams such as amino acids and fatty acids.
