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 ...

Host-specificity among abundant and rare taxa in the sponge microbiome [PDF]

ISME Journal, 2014
Abstract Microbial communities have a key role in the physiology of the sponge host, and it is therefore essential to understand the stability and specificity of sponge–symbiont associations. Host-specific bacterial associations spanning large geographic distance are widely acknowledged in sponges.

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 ...

Unravelling the sponge microbiome as a promising source of biosurfactants

Critical Reviews in Microbiology, 2022
Microbial surfactants are particularly useful in bioremediation and heavy metal removal from soil and aquatic environments, amongst other highly valued uses in different economic and biomedical sectors. Marine sponge-associated bacteria are well-known producers of bioactive compounds with a wide array of potential applications. However, little progress

A New Micromonospora Strain with Antibiotic Activity Isolated from the Microbiome of a Mid-Atlantic Deep-Sea Sponge [PDF]

Marine Drugs, 2021
To tackle the growing problem of antibiotic resistance, it is essential to identify new bioactive compounds that are effective against resistant microbes and safe to use.

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.

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

Nat Commun, 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.

Changes in the metabolic potential of the sponge microbiome under ocean acidification. [PDF]

Nat Commun, 2019
Abstract Anthropogenic CO 2 emissions are causing ocean acidification, which can affect the physiology of marine organisms. Here we assess the possible effects of ocean acidification on the metabolic potential of sponge symbionts, inferred by metagenomic analyses of the ...

Zooming into the sponge microbiome in the omics era

, 2022
Marine sponges represent an excellent example of host-microbe symbiosis. Yet, most sponge-associated microorganisms remain uncultured, hampering efforts in determining interactions with their sponge host. This project aimed at enhancing our understanding of the sponge-bacteria interplay, focusing on both cultured and yet-uncultured sponge-associated ...

Changes in microbiome composition during ontogeny and dispersal of the coral boring sponge Thoosa mismalolli

Scientific Reports
Dispersal is an important life history trait that plays a key role in the demography and evolution of species. We employed a combined approach of DNA sequencing and transmission electron microscopy to examine the changes in the microbiome during the ...
