Microbial Diversity of Sponge/Coral Microbiome
2019The ocean is the largest habitat on our planet for microbes. These microorganisms play a key role in global biogeochemical cycles. Still we are missing more detail on their phylogenetic, genomic and metabolic diversity. Microbes play a key role in the sponge and corals biology.Sponges and corals can not longer be considered as autonomous entities but ...

Response of Sponge Microbiomes to Environmental Variations
2019Sponges (phylum Porifera), sessile invertebrates, are the oldest multicellular animals that play an important role in evolutionary study. Thanks to their efficient filter-feeding capabilities, sponges have important ecological and biotechnological functions in nutrient cycles within marine ecosystems.

Ecophysiology of the symbiont microbiome in the sponge Ianthella basta
2023Since sponges may be the most ancient of the extant multicellular organisms, the sponge-microbe holobiont therefore perhaps embodies one of the oldest extant examples of microbial-metazoan symbiosis. This ancient symbiotic relationship has resulted in of the most complex and diversified holobionts in the marine environment, with >8000 globally ...

Did sponge microbiomes help aerate the oceans?
New Scientist, 2015Tiny bacteria living inside sponges seem to be symbiotic and may have played a part in the drama that transformed Earth's deep oceans 750 million years ago. The discovery of the curious bacteria was an accident, says Fan Zhang of the University of Maryland in Baltimore.

Zooming into the sponge microbiome in the omics era
Οι θαλάσσιοι σπόγγοι (φύλο Porifera) είναι οι αρχαιότεροι ζώντες μεταζωικοί οργανισμοί και διαδραματίζουν κρίσιμο οικολογικό ρόλο στα βενθικά οικοσυστήματα λόγω της υψηλής ικανότητάς τους στη διήθηση νερού. Επιπλέον, φιλοξενούν πυκνές και ποικιλόμορφες μικροβιακές κοινότητες που ανήκουν και στους τρεις τομείς της ζωής, σχηματίζοντας πολύπλοκα ...openaire +1 more source

Ecological and biotechnological potential of sponge microbiome
2016Marine sponges harbor microbial communities of immense ecological and biotechnological importance. Recently, they have been focus of heightened attention due to the wide range of biologically active compounds with potential application, particularly, in chemical, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries.
