Many organisms team up with microbes for defense against predators, parasites, parasitoids, or pathogens. Here we review the described protective symbioses between animals (including marine invertebrates, nematodes, insects, and vertebrates) and bacteria, fungi, and dinoflagellates. We focus on associations where the microbial natural products mediating the protective activity have been elucidated or at least strong evidence for the role of symbiotic microbes in defense is available. In addition to providing an overview of the known defensive animal-microbe symbioses, we aim to derive general patterns on the chemistry, ecology, and evolution of such associations.
许多生物与微生物合作，以抵御捕食者、寄生虫、寄生蜂或病原体。在这里，我们回顾了动物（包括海洋无脊椎动物、线虫、昆虫和脊椎动物）与细菌、真菌和甲藻之间已被描述的保护性共生关系。我们重点介绍了微生物天然产物介导保护活性的关联，或者至少有强有力的证据表明共生微生物在防御中起作用。除了提供已知的防御性动物-微生物共生关系概述外，我们还旨在推导出这些关联的化学、生态和进化的一般模式。
