Phage-induced disturbance of a marine sponge microbiome [PDF]
Environmental MicrobiomeBackground Bacteriophages are known modulators of community composition and activity in environmental and host-associated microbiomes. However, the impact single phages have on bacterial community dynamics under viral predation, the extent and duration ...

Biodiversity, environmental drivers, and sustainability of the global deep-sea sponge microbiome [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2022 This study presents a large-scale analysis of microbial diversity in deep-sea sponges. They show that sponge microbial abundance status, geographic distance, sponge phylogeny and the physical-biogeochemical environment drive microbiome composition, in ...

Sample processing impacts the viability and cultivability of the sponge microbiome [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Sponges host complex microbial communities of recognized ecological and biotechnological importance. Extensive cultivation efforts have been made to isolate sponge bacteria, but most still elude cultivation.

Diversity and structure of the deep-sea sponge microbiome in the equatorial Atlantic Ocean [PDF]
Microbiology (United Kingdom)Sponges (phylum Porifera) harbour specific microbial communities that drive the ecology and evolution of the host. Understanding the structure and dynamics of these communities is emerging as a primary focus in marine microbial ecology research.

Microbiome changes in the sponge Halichondria panicea along the Baltic Sea salinity gradient [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyThe Baltic Sea is characterized by a strong salinity gradient, which impacts the diversity and composition of free-living macro- and microorganisms. Much less is known about how host-associated microorganisms are affected by decreasing salinities. Marine

Genome-centric view of the microbiome in a new deep-sea glass sponge species Bathydorus sp.
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Sponges are widely distributed in the global ocean and harbor diverse symbiotic microbes with mutualistic relationships. However, sponge symbionts in the deep sea remain poorly studied at the genome level.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 The sponge microbiome, especially in Low Microbial Abundance (LMA) species, is expected to be influenced by the local environment; however, contrasting results exist with evidence showing that host specificity is also important, hence suggesting that the

Sex Determination in Sponges. [PDF]
Mol Reprod DevABSTRACT Sex determination in Porifera remains one of the least understood aspects of early metazoan biology despite the group's key phylogenetic position. Sponges display exceptional diversity in sexual systems—ranging from stable gonochorism to sequential hermaphroditism and sex reversal—yet lack morphological dimorphism and any discrete gonadal ...

Comparative Analysis of Sponge-Associated, Seawater, and Sediment Microbial Communities from Site F Cold Seep in the South China Sea [PDF]
MicroorganismsMicrobial communities at Site F cold seep, ubiquitous in both the environment and the associated fauna, demonstrate clear habitat-specific partitioning. Metagenomic sequencing and binning demonstrated a striking partitioning of microbial taxa at the cold
