Ribosomal RNA-Depletion Provides an Efficient Method for Successful Dual RNA-Seq Expression Profiling of a Marine Sponge Holobiont [PDF]
Marine Biotechnology, 2022 Investigations of host-symbiont interactions can benefit enormously from a complete and reliable holobiont gene expression profiling. The most efficient way to acquire holobiont transcriptomes is to perform RNA-Seq on both host and symbionts ...

Sponge-derived matter is assimilated by coral holobionts [PDF]
Communications BiologyCoral reef biodiversity is maintained by a complex network of nutrient recycling among organisms. Sponges assimilate nutrients produced by other organisms like coral and algae, releasing them as particulate and dissolved matter, but to date, only a ...

Insights into phosphatase-activated chemical defense in a marine sponge holobiont [PDF]
RSC Chemical Biology, 2021 Marine sponges often contain potent cytotoxic compounds, which in turn evokes the principle question of how marine sponges avoid self-toxicity. In a marine sponge Discodermia calyx, the highly toxic calyculin A is detoxified by the phosphorylation, which

Microbiome, 2022 Background Sponges are ancient sessile metazoans, which form with their associated microbial symbionts a complex functional unit called a holobiont. Sponges are a rich source of chemical diversity; however, there is limited knowledge of which holobiont ...

Sponge exhalent seawater contains a unique chemical profile of dissolved organic matter [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Sponges are efficient filter feeders, removing significant portions of particulate and dissolved organic matter (POM, DOM) from the water column. While the assimilation and respiration of POM and DOM by sponges and their abundant microbial symbiont ...

How does heat stress affect sponge microbiomes? Structure and resilience of microbial communities of marine sponges from different habitats [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 IntroductionSponges are key components of marine benthic communities, providing many ecosystem functions and establishing close relationships with microorganisms, conforming the holobiont.

From friends to foes: fungi could be emerging marine sponge pathogens under global change scenarios [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Global change, experienced in the form of ocean warming and pollution by man-made goods and xenobiotics, is rapidly affecting reef ecosystems and could have devastating consequences for marine ecology. Due to their critical role in regulating marine food
