Evaluation of wood degradation rates by Teredinidae (Mollusca: Bivalvia) in two ecologically distinct areas, and temperature and salinity influences on the cellulolytic activity of associated bacteria
Abstract Teredinidae (shipworms) is a family of marine wood-boring bivalves that has an important role in the degradation of wood through its symbiotic relationship with cellulolytic bacteria. To evaluate the rate of degradation of wood by teredinids in two sites with different oceanographic conditi...
