Sponge microbiome stability during environmental acquisition of highly specific photosymbionts
Environmental Microbiology, 2020Summary In this study, we used in situ transplantations to provide the first evidence of horizontal acquisition of cyanobacterial symbionts by a marine sponge.

Carbon and Nitrogen Metabolism of Sponge Microbiome
2019Sponges represent an evolutionarily divergent group of species with widespread physiological and ecological traits. Spongology has grown into a discipline attracting a progressively growing population of hundreds of scientists across the world.

Coral/sponge holobiont is the stable assemblage of the host and its symbiotic bionts, e.g., microalgae, bacteria, archaea, virus, fungi, and protists. Coral/sponge microbiome means the entire microbial community and genes that reside within a coral/sponge. Sponges host abundant and diverse microbes including bacteria, archaea, and fungi.

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.

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.

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 ...

Marine Sponge-Associated Microbiome: Reservoir of Novel Bioactive Compounds
2017Oceans consist of around half a million to ten million species out of which sponges, being the oldest and almost omnipresent of the marine metazoans, make an integral part of marine benthic biodiversity and play an important role in benthic–pelagic coupling. Sponges are the most popular invertebrate microbial hosts of today.

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.
