Invertebrate-chemoautotroph symbioses, in which the bacterial partner provides an internal source of autotrophically fixed carbon for its host, fall into two main groups based on previously reported stable carbon isotope ratios: those with 6l”C = -27 to -35%~1 (referred to as the - 3Oo/oo group) and those with V3C = -9 to - 16o/oo (referred to as the - 11%~ group). The 613C values of the -31X& group resemble those of free-living chemoautotrophic bacteria, suggesting the role of the symbionts in the nutrition of the bivalves; there is presently no satisfactory explanation for the 613C values of the - 1 1 ?& group. Immunological and enzyme inhibition data are presented demonstrating that the CO,-fixing enzyme expressed in representatives of the - 11% group is a form II ribulose- 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco), while a form I Rubisco is expressed in the - 30% symbioses. Previously reported in vitro del.erminations on purified Rubisco show that the form II enzyme from free-living bacteria has a smaller kinletic isotope effect with respect to CO, than does form I. Thus, the 13C-enriched stable carbon isotope signature observed in the intact - 1 lo/00 symbioses appears to be at least partially due to this diminished enzymatic discrimination. Symbioses between sulfur-oxidizing chemoautotrophic bacteria and marine invertebrates are known to be important trophic adaptations for organisms living at the interface between chemically reducing and oxidizing environments (Fisher 1990; Childress and Fisher 1992; Cavanaugh 1994). Initially discovered in the giant hydrothermal vent vestimentiferan Riftia pachyptila (Cavanaugh et al. 198 1; Felbeck 198 l), these symbioses have now been described in five phyla (see (Fisher 1990; Cavanaugh 1994)) from marine habitats as varied as hydrothermal vents, hypersaline cold seeps, tectonic subduction zones, and reducing sediments. The bacterial partners, which can occur as intracellular, extracellular, or epibiotic symbionts, are hypothesized to provide the host animal with a source of organic carbon fixed via chemosynthesis. Although the symbionts have not yet been cultured, physiological, ultrastructural, and enzymatic data support this hypothesis. Some of the most compelling evidence includes the co-occurence of ribulose- 1,5 -bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) activity with the presence of gram-negative bacteria in specific host tissues (Cavanaugh 1994). Rubisco catalyzes the initial carboxylation in the Calvin-Benson cycle and is found only in autotrophic organisms (Tabita 1988). The host animal is therefore provided with a source of
