Chapter 22.11, Problem 2MQ
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.
