Biofilm Bacterial Dynamics and Changes in Inorganic Nitrogen Density Due to the Presence of Freshwater Pearl Mussels

ABSTRACT The freshwater pearl mussel (genus Margaritifera) has shown severe declines, while the mussels play important roles in the translocation of nutrients and materials in river water ecosystems. We hypothesized that the biofilm bacterial composition and nutrient flow may reflect the differences...
