Description
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.
