Summary Introduction
The squid, Euprymna scolopes is a marine invertebrate. On ventral side of this organism, a light organ is present and it harbors the huge population of the Aliivibrio fischeri. This bacterium is a gram-negative and bioluminescent organism. The squid and Aliivibrio fischeri share a mutualistic association with each other.

How is the correct bacterial symbiont selected in the squid–Aliivibrio symbiosis?
pls give me short answer of this
Describe the symbiosis between the Riftia tubeworm and its bacterial symbiont. What is the role of the Riftia tube worm hemoglobin in the success of its relationship with the symbiotic bacteria?
Why would you be surprised to find the exact same microbial symbionts inhabiting squid and the rumen of a cow? Consider both the physical and chemical conditions of the habitat and the requirements for the symbiosis to be successful.
