Zooming into the sponge microbiome in the omics era
, 2022 Marine sponges represent an excellent example of host-microbe symbiosis. Yet, most sponge-associated microorganisms remain uncultured, hampering efforts in determining interactions with their sponge host. This project aimed at enhancing our understanding

Establishing the breadcrumb sponge Halichondria panicea as an experimental model for sponge symbioses [PDF]
, 2021 The early divergent metazoan phylum Porifera (sponges) holds potentially important emerging model systems to study microbiome stability, colonization and evolutionarily early mechanisms of animal-microbe interactions.

Pyrosequencing of bacterial symbionts within Axinella corrugata sponges: diversity and seasonal variability. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BACKGROUND: Marine sponge species are of significant interest to many scientific fields including marine ecology, conservation biology, genetics, host-microbe symbiosis and pharmacology. One of the most intriguing aspects of the sponge "holobiont" system

Metagenomic Assessment of DNA Viral Diversity in Freshwater Sponges, Baikalospongia bacillifera
Microorganisms, 2022 Sponges (type Porifera) are multicellular organisms that give shelter to a variety of microorganisms: fungi, algae, archaea, bacteria, and viruses. The studies concerning the composition of viral communities in sponges have appeared rather recently, and ...

Benthic contributions to the chemical seascape: Insights from Mediterranean underwater caves
Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract Chemical mediation plays a major role in the functioning of marine ecosystems, yet most of the molecules sustaining species interactions remain largely unknown. As an initial step toward clarifying these processes, this study investigates how benthic biodiversity shapes the chemical composition of seawater, using underwater caves as model ...
