摘要

Microorganisms and higher eukaryotes often form symbiotic relationships whose complexity can range from a relationship with one dominant symbiont to associations with hundreds of symbiont species (1). The mechanisms that shape the structure of complex symbiont communities are largely unknown. Here, we use the symbiosis between microbes and sponges as a model to unveil key principles governing the evolution of complex symbiont communities. We demonstrate that microbial communities from phylogenetically divergent and geographically disparate sponge hosts have converged to perform a set of core functions and that frequent genetic exchange within these communities may drive their evolution. Microbial symbionts occupying equivalent niches in different eukaryotic hosts may share functional aspects, and convergent genome evolution has been reported for simple symbiont systems in insects (2). We possess only a limited understanding of the prevalence of functional equivalence in complex symbiont communities and whether equivalent functions are conducted by evolutionarily convergent mechanisms.
