Transcriptomic Insights Into the Immune Repertoire of an Antarctic Sponge
Antarctic marine sponges are essential components of the benthic fauna, playing a crucial role in structuring this ecosystem through their own biological activities and their symbiotic relationships with diverse microorganisms. Yet, the transcriptional repertoire and the immune responses associated with interactions with microorganisms in this unique ...

Vertical Transmission of a Phylogenetically Complex Microbial Consortium in the Viviparous Sponge \u3cem\u3eIrcinia Felix\u3c/em\u3e [PDF]
Many marine demosponges contain large amounts of phylogenetically complex yet highly sponge-specific microbial consortia within the mesohyl matrix, but little is known about how these microorganisms are acquired by their hosts.

ABSTRACT Sponge microbial communities play a crucial role in marine ecosystem functioning and serve as a rich source of bioactive compounds. While host identity is recognised as a major determinant of microbiome diversity, the underlying evolutionary mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study aimed to comprehensively assess phylosymbiosis patterns
