Solemya Reidi
''Solemya'' is a genus of saltwater clams, marine bivalve mollusks in the family Solemyidae, the awning clams. ''Solemya'' is the type genus of the family Solemyidae. Description The shell valves of species in this genus are fragile and subcylindrical in shape; there are no hinge teeth. The shell has a persistent thin periostracum which extends beyond the valve margins, hence the common name "awning clams". These clams have chemosynthetic bacterial symbionts that produce their food. The bacteria live within their gill cells, and produce energy by oxidizing hydrogen sulfide, which they then use to fix carbon dioxide via the Calvin cycle. This symbiosis has been best-studied in the Atlantic species '' S. velum'' and the Pacific species '' S. reidi''. Species Species within the genus ''Solemya'' include: * ''Solemya africana'' * ''Solemya atacama'' * ''Solemya australis'' * ''Solemya borealis'' * '' Solemya elarraichensis'' * '' Solemya flava'' * '' Solemya moretonensis'' * '' S ...

Solemya Velum
''Solemya velum'', the Atlantic awning clam, is a species of marine bivalve mollusc in the family Solemyidae, the awning clams. This species is found along the eastern coast of North America, from Nova Scotia to Florida Florida is a state located in the Southeastern region of the United States. Florida is bordered to the west by the Gulf of Mexico, to the northwest by Alabama, to the north by Georgia, to the east by the Bahamas and Atlantic Ocean, and to ... and inhabits subtidal sediments with high organic matter (OM) content and low Oxygen, such as salt ponds, salt marshes, and sewage outfalls. Species within the ''Solemya'' genus are distinguished by their reduced or absent guts and their association with symbiotic, chemosynthetic bacteria, which produce metabolic energy by oxidizing sulfide in order to fix carbon for their hosts. Other ''Solemya'' species have been discovered near hydrothermal vents and cold-seeps; environments where chemosynthesis and bacterial sy ...
