Diversity, structure and convergent evolution of the global sponge microbiome [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2016
Abstract Sponges (phylum Porifera) are early-diverging metazoa renowned for establishing complex microbial symbioses. Here we present a global Porifera microbiome survey, set out to establish the ecological and evolutionary drivers of these host–microbe interactions.

Hologenome analysis of two marine sponges with different microbiomes [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2016
Background: Sponges (Porifera) harbor distinct microbial consortia within their mesohyl interior. We herein analysed the hologenomes of Stylissa carteri and Xestospongia testudinaria, which notably differ in their microbiome content.

The sponge microbiome project. [PDF]

Gigascience, 2017
Marine sponges (phylum Porifera) are a diverse, phylogenetically deep-branching clade known for forming intimate partnerships with complex communities of microorganisms. To date, 16S rRNA gene sequencing studies have largely utilised different extraction and amplification methodologies to target the microbial communities of a limited number of sponge ...

Erratum to: The sponge microbiome project. [PDF]

Gigascience, 2018
The sponge microbiome project Lucas Moitinho-Silva et al. GigaScience, 6, 2017; doi: 10.1093/gigascience/gix077. A formula was incorrect upon initial publication. The formula p-value = binomial cdf (T(v)-Kv(s), T(v), PNull (s)) should instead be p-value = binomial cdf (T(v)-Kv(s), T(v), 1-PNull (s)). This has now been corrected.

Modularity and predicted functions of the global sponge-microbiome network. [PDF]

Nat Commun, 2019
AbstractDefining the organisation of species interaction networks and unveiling the processes behind their assembly is fundamental to understanding patterns of biodiversity, community stability and ecosystem functioning. Marine sponges host complex communities of microorganisms that contribute to their health and survival, yet the mechanisms behind ...

Marine Sponge Endosymbionts: Structural and Functional Specificity of the Microbiome within Euryspongia arenaria Cells

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Sponge microbiomes are typically profiled by analyzing the community DNA of whole tissues, which does not distinguish the taxa residing within sponge cells from extracellular microbes.

Trait-Based Comparison of Coral and Sponge Microbiomes [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2020
AbstractCorals and sponges harbor diverse microbial communities that are integral to the functioning of the host. While the taxonomic diversity of their microbiomes has been well-established for corals and sponges, their functional roles are less well-understood.

The sponge microbiome within the greater coral reef microbial metacommunity. [PDF]

Nat Commun, 2019
AbstractMuch recent marine microbial research has focused on sponges, but very little is known about how the sponge microbiome fits in the greater coral reef microbial metacommunity. Here, we present an extensive survey of the prokaryote communities of a wide range of biotopes from Indo-Pacific coral reef environments.
