Analysis of the Biomass Composition of the Demosponge Amphimedon queenslandica on Heron Island Reef, Australia

Marine Drugs, 2014
Marine sponges are a potential source of important pharmaceutical drugs, the commercialisation of which is restricted by the difficulties of obtaining a sufficient and regular supply of biomass. One way to optimize commercial cell lines for production is

Roles of the symbiotic microbial communities associated with sponge hosts in the nitrogen and phosphorus cycles [PDF]

, 2015
Marine sponges are habitat-forming organisms in coral reefs. Many sponge species host highly abundant microorganisms inside their bodies, forming symbiotic relationships.

Dynamic microbiome diversity shaping the adaptation of sponge holobionts in coastal waters

Microbiology Spectrum
The microbial communities associated with sponges contribute to the adaptation of hosts to environments, which are essential for the trophic transformation of benthic-marine coupling.

Complex ecological associations: Evidence for competition and facilitation in a sponge-algal interaction

, 2014
Over the past few decades, Caribbean coral reefs have undergone a phase shift from coral-dominated to algal dominated communities, due to several factors including increased anthropogenic nutrients.

Climate change and tropical sponges: The effect of elevated pCO₂ and temperature on the sponge holobiont

, 2017
As atmospheric CO₂ concentrations rise, associated ocean warming (OW) and ocean acidification (OA) are predicted to cause declines in reef-building corals globally, shifting reefs from coral-dominated systems to those dominated by less sensitive species.

Transcriptomic responses of sponge holobionts to in situ, seasonal anoxia and hypoxia

Peer Community Journal
Deoxygenation can be fatal for many marine animals; however, some sponge species are tolerant of hypoxia and anoxia. Indeed, two sponge species, Eurypon sp. 2 and Hymeraphia stellifera, survive seasonal anoxia for months at a time.

Synergistic Effects of Crude Oil and Corexit Dispersant on a Sponge Holobiont System

, 2013
Following the worst oil spill in US history, Macondo crude oil from the Deepwater Horizon spill and Corexit 9500 dispersant were applied in experimental dosing of the common reef sponge, Cinachyrella alloclada, found in both the GOM and many Caribbean ...
