Summary Introduction

To determine: The similarities between endosymbiont of Riftia tube worm and cyanobacteria.

Introduction: Endosymbiotic bacteria are those bacteria which live inside the other organism to form a symbiotic association. These bacteria are found in the tube worms (Riftia). These worms show successful mutualism with endosymbiont bacteria in which bacteria provide organic carbon to worms as the worm itself lacks mouth and gut.
