The RNA Viruses in Samples of Endemic Lake Baikal Sponges

Diversity, 2023
Sponges are unusual representatives of the animal kingdom; their viromes, as part of the associated community, began to be studied quite recently, and, accordingly, these studies are gaining momentum. The diversity of viruses in sponges is high, and they

Subcellular view of host–microbiome nutrient exchange in sponges: insights into the ecological success of an early metazoan–microbe symbiosis

Microbiome, 2021
Background Sponges are increasingly recognised as key ecosystem engineers in many aquatic habitats. They play an important role in nutrient cycling due to their unrivalled capacity for processing both dissolved and particulate organic matter (DOM and POM)

Data_Sheet_1_Marine Sponges in a Snowstorm – Extreme Sensitivity of a Sponge Holobiont to Marine Oil Snow and Chemically Dispersed Oil Pollution.docx

, 2022
Holobionts formed by a host organism and associated symbionts are key biological units in marine ecosystems where they are responsible for fundamental ecosystem services. Therefore, understanding anthropogenic impacts on holobionts is essential. Sponges (

Potential for host-symbiont communication via neurotransmitters and neuromodulators in an aneural animal, the marine sponge Amphimedon queenslandica

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2023
Interkingdom signalling within a holobiont allows host and symbionts to communicate and to regulate each other’s physiological and developmental states.

New Compounds From the Deep-sea Sponge Mycale lingua. [PDF]

Chem Biodivers
The focus of this study is the scarcely investigated sponge Mycale lingua, found commonly in the North Atlantic Ocean. In total, four compounds are isolated and characterised from three combined M. lingua individuals. Structures are fully elucidated through HR‐LCMS and NMR spectroscopy (1H, COSY, HSQC, HMBC).

A Microbial Nitrogen Engine Modulated by Bacteriosyncytia in Hexactinellid Sponges: Ecological Implications for Deep-Sea Communities

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Hexactinellid sponges are common in the deep sea, but their functional integration into those ecosystems remains poorly understood. The phylogenetically related species Schaudinnia rosea and Vazella pourtalesii were herein incubated for nitrogen and ...

Multi-Omic Profiling of Melophlus Sponges Reveals Diverse Metabolomic and Microbiome Architectures that Are Non-overlapping with Ecological Neighbors

Marine Drugs, 2020
Marine sponge holobionts, defined as filter-feeding sponge hosts together with their associated microbiomes, are prolific sources of natural products. The inventory of natural products that have been isolated from marine sponges is extensive. Here, using

Fungi found in Mediterranean and North Sea sponges: how specific are they? [PDF]

PeerJ, 2017
Fungi and other eukaryotes represent one of the last frontiers of microbial diversity in the sponge holobiont. In this study we employed pyrosequencing of 18S ribosomal RNA gene amplicons containing the V7 and V8 hypervariable regions to explore the ...

Testing the relationship between microbiome composition and flux of carbon and nutrients in Caribbean coral reef sponges

Microbiome, 2019
Background Sponges are important suspension-feeding members of reef communities, with the collective capacity to overturn the entire water column on shallow Caribbean reefs every day.
