Genome-scale metabolic modelling reveals interactions and key roles of symbiont clades in a sponge holobiont

Abstract Sponges harbour complex microbiomes and as ancient metazoans and important ecosystem players are emerging as powerful models to understand the evolution and ecology of symbiotic interactions. Metagenomic studies have previously described the functional features of sponge symbionts, however,...
