A multiproducer microbiome generates chemical diversity in the marine sponge Mycale hentscheli
14 Apr 2020
Abstract excerpt
Bacterial specialized metabolites are increasingly recognized as important factors in animal–microbiome interactions: for example, by providing the host with chemical defenses. Even in chemically rich animals, such compounds have been found to originate from individual members of more diverse microbiomes. Here, we identified a remarkable case of a moderately complex microbiome in the sponge host Mycale hentscheli...
