Rethinking symbiotic metabolism: trophic strategies in the microbiomes of different sponge species

I. Burgsdorf, S. Sizikov, V. Squatrito, M. Britstein, B. M. Slaby, C. Cerrano, K. M. Handley, L. Steindler

This study examines carbon fixation strategies in sponge microbiomes, showing that symbionts use different metabolic pathways and that sequencing data alone cannot predict their contributions to carbon fixation.
