Bacteria identified in freshwater mussels in the Clinch River, VA, associated with mortality events from 2018 to 2020
We investigated the cultureable bacterial communities in the native freshwater mussel faunal in the Clinch River, VA/TN during mussel mortality events in 2018, 2019 and 2020 and examine the spatial and temporal distribution of bacterial genera among Pheasantshells and six other unionid species.
