Figure 1From: Using genomics to deliver natural products from symbiotic bacteriaStructures of the main natural products discussed in this article. (a) Representative molecules that were originally isolated from beetles (pederin) or sponges (theopederin A and mycalamide A). They are biosynthesized by an uncultured symbiotic bacterium, most likely a Pseudomonas species, in both animal species. (b) Representative patellamide molecules that were originally isolated from ascidians. The amino acids from which each part of patellamide A are derived are indicated. They are made by Prochloron didemni, a cultured and genome-sequenced symbiotic cyanobacterium.Back to article page
