An antifungal polyketide associated with horizontally acquired genes supports symbiont-mediated defense in Lagria villosa beetles

Burkholderia bacteria protect the offspring of Lagria beetles against pathogens. Here, Flórez et al. identify an antifungal polyketide that is likely encoded by a horizontally acquired gene cluster on the genome of a dominant, uncultured Burkholderia symbiont of Lagria villosa.
