A novel bacterium was isolated in pure culture from the gland of Deshayes in 6 spp. of teredinid bivalves [Lyrodus pedicellatus (Quatrefages), Bankia gouldi (Bartsch), Teredo navalis Linnaeus, T. furcifera Von Martens, T. bartschi Clapp and Psiloteredo healdi (Bartsch)]. It is the 1st bacterium known to digest cellulose and fix nitrogen, and it is a participant in a unique symbiotic relation with shipworms that may explain how teredinids are able to use wood as their principal food source.
