Symbiotic Adaptation Drives Genome Streamlining of the Cyanobacterial Sponge Symbiont “<italic toggle="yes">Candidatus</italic> Synechococcus spongiarum”
ABSTRACT “Candidatus Synechococcus spongiarum” is a cyanobacterial symbiont widely distributed in sponges, but its functions at the genome level remain unknown. Here, we obtained the draft genome (1.66 Mbp, 90% estimated genome recovery) of “Ca. Synechococcus spongiarum” strain SH4 inhabiting the Re...
