Structures 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.
