Genomic Attributes of Novel Symbiont Pseudovibrio brasiliensis sp. nov. Isolated From the Sponge Arenosclera brasiliensis

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Sponge holobionts are defined as the host animals and their associated microbiomes. Both host and microbiome produce extracellular products that facilitate interaction within the holobiont.

Concordant Patterns of Population Genetic Structure and Symbiont Communities in a Broadcasting Spawning Coral Along a Western Australian Fringing Reef

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
We explored fine‐scale patterns of connectivity and symbiont associations across the Ningaloo reefscape to inform on post‐disturbance recovery, larval dispersal capabilities, and recruitment dynamics. We detected low but significant population genetic structure among sample sites spread across Ningaloo Reef with the highest diversity in southern sites.

Evolutionary adaptation and metabolic interactions of sponge-associated symbionts

, 2022
Marine sponges (phylum Porifera) often form stable symbioses with unique and complex microbial communities. Sponges have also been increasingly recognized as important model organisms for understanding symbiosis processes. To improve our understanding of

Stoichiometric regulation of nitrogen and carbon fluxes in Acropora coral facing short‐term stress of ammonium loading

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Scleractinian coral evolved under nitrogen (N)‐limited conditions. The increase in N flux from anthropogenic activities to these otherwise N‐depleted environments is threatening coral health and coral reef ecosystem function. We tested the effect of elevated ammonium (NH4+) loading on Acropora metabolism responses (respiration, gross primary ...

Impacts of Nearby Algae on Recruitment Success and Early Microbiome Development of the Coral Acropora cytherea

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 1, January 2026.
Crustose coralline algae promote the survival and growth of coral recruits. However, these positive effects are not linked with the dynamics of the coral microbiome. Results reveal a transfer of opportunistic bacteria shared with all surrounding benthos, rather than a transfer of bacteria from specific algae to corals. ABSTRACT The persistence of coral

Genomic Connectivity and Adaptation Signals of the Freshwater Sponge Ephydatia muelleri Across Its Distribution

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Genetic connectivity and local adaptation were examined across the distribution of the freshwater sponge Ephydatia muelleri. Because it occupies an exceptional breadth of freshwater environments across a broad geographic range, this species offers key insights into biogeographic processes shaping genetic structure and adaptation in inland ...

Intermittent hypoxia and prolonged suboxia measured in situ in a marine sponge

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2016
High Microbial Abundance (HMA) sponges constitute a guild of suspension-feeding sponges that host vast populations of symbiotic microbes. These symbionts mediate a complex series of biogeochemical transformations that fuel the holobiont’s metabolism ...

Diversity and Prevalence of Coral Diseases in the Nearshore Regions of the Northern South China Sea

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
This study presents the first systematic survey of coral disease diversity and prevalence in the nearshore regions of the northern South China Sea. Six common diseases and eight stress‐related phenomena were documented across seven sites, revealing distinct regional patterns and host‐specific susceptibilities.

Unveiling the Microeukaryotic Landscape of the Red Coral Corallium rubrum Across the Northwestern Mediterranean Sea

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 6, December 2025.
This study demonstrates that the eukaryome of the Mediterranean octocoral Corallium rubrum exhibits high variability, and the dominance of certain taxa is influenced by spatiotemporal environmental factors. Despite this, core microeukaryotic families, such as Licnophoridae and Dino‐Group I Clade 1, were consistently present, suggesting key roles in the
