Single-bacterial genomics validates rich and varied specialized metabolism of uncultivated Entotheonella sponge symbionts [Microbiology]
Marine sponges are prolific sources of unique bioactive natural products. The sponge Theonella swinhoei is represented by several distinct variants with largely nonoverlapping chemistry. For the Japanese chemotype Y harboring diverse complex polyketides and peptides, we previously provided genomic and functional evidence that a single symbiont, the filamentous, multicellular organism...
