New genomic insights into “Entotheonella” symbionts in Theonella swinhoei: mixotrophy, anaerobic adaptation, resilience, and interaction

Entotheonella (phylum Tectomicrobia) is a filamentous symbiont that produces almost all known bioactive compounds derived from the Lithistida sponge Theonella swinhoei. In contrast to the comprehensive knowledge of its secondary metabolism, knowledge of its lifestyle, resilience, and interaction wit...
