The discovery of two bacterial endosymbionts harbored inStachylidium bicolor mycelium,Burkholderia contaminans andSphingomonas leidyi , is described here. Production of tetrapeptides inside the mycelium is ensured byB. contaminans , and fungal sporulation is influenced by the endosymbionts. Here, we illustrate the bacterial endosymbiotic origin of secondary metabolites in an Ascomycota host.
