Metabolic reconstruction of the near complete microbiome of the model sponge Ianthella basta

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 25, Issue 3, Page 646-660, March 2023., 2023
Abstract Many marine sponges host highly diverse microbiomes that contribute to various aspects of host health. Although the putative function of individual groups of sponge symbionts has been increasingly described, the extreme diversity has generally precluded in‐depth characterization of entire microbiomes, including identification of syntrophic ...

Spatial and environmental variables structure sponge symbiont communities

Molecular Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 19, Page 4932-4948, October 2022., 2022
Abstract Understanding the maintenance and origin of beta diversity is a central topic in ecology. However, the factors that drive diversity patterns and underlying processes remain unclear, particularly for host‐prokaryotic associations. Here, beta diversity patterns were studied in five prokaryotic biotopes, namely, two high microbial abundance (HMA)

TransPi—a comprehensive TRanscriptome ANalysiS PIpeline for de novo transcriptome assembly

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 22, Issue 5, Page 2070-2086, July 2022., 2022
Abstract The use of RNA sequencing (RNA‐Seq) data and the generation of de novo transcriptome assemblies have been pivotal for studies in ecology and evolution. This is especially true for nonmodel organisms, where no genome information is available.

Larval settlement: the role of surface topography for sessile coral reef invertebrates. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
For sessile marine invertebrates with complex life cycles, habitat choice is directed by the larval phase. Defining which habitat-linked cues are implicated in sessile invertebrate larval settlement has largely concentrated on chemical cues which are ...

Purification, biochemical characterization of a lectin from marine sponge Ircinia strobilina and its effect on the inhibition of bacterial biofilms [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2023
A new lectin from marine sponge Ircinia strobilina, denominated IsL, was isolated by combination of affinity chromatography in Guar gum matrix followed by size exclusion chromatography.

Microbial communities and bioactive compounds in marine sponges of the family Irciniidae-a review [PDF]

, 2014
Marine sponges harbour complex microbial communities of ecological and biotechnological importance. Here, we propose the application of the widespread sponge family Irciniidae as an appropriate model in microbiology and biochemistry research. Half a gram

Prevalence, complete genome, and metabolic potentials of a phylogenetically novel cyanobacterial symbiont in the coral‐killing sponge, Terpios hoshinota

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1308-1325, March 2022., 2022
Summary Terpios hoshinota is an aggressive, space‐competing sponge that kills various stony corals. Outbreaks of this species have led to intense damage to coral reefs in many locations. Here, the first large‐scale 16S rRNA gene survey across three oceans revealed that bacteria related to the taxa Prochloron, Endozoicomonas, SAR116, Ruegeria, and ...

Setting the foundation for renewal: restoring sponge communities aids the ecological recovery of Florida Bay

Ecosphere, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2021., 2021
Abstract Coastal ecosystems are constantly buffeted by anthropogenic forces that degrade habitats and alter ecological processes and functions; in turn, this habitat degradation diminishes the ecosystem goods and services on which humans rely. Within the last few decades, the field of restoration ecology has burgeoned into a discipline that marries ...

Exploring depth-related patterns of sponge diversity and abundance in marginal reefs. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
In this study, we investigated sponge diversity and abundance across a depth gradient in Southwestern Atlantic marginal reefs, revealing that while sponge abundance and density increase with depth, alpha diversity remains stable. Beta diversity, however, is higher in shallower areas due to environmental heterogeneity, predominantly driven by species ...

The potential roles of sponges in integrated mariculture

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 13, Issue 3, Page 1159-1171, June 2021., 2021
Abstract This mini‐review evaluates the use of marine sponges in integrated culture systems, two decades after the idea was first proposed. It was predicted that the concept would provide a double benefit: sponges would grow faster under higher organic loadings, and filtration by sponges would improve water quality.
