Plume Layer Influences the Amazon Reef Sponge Microbiome Primary Producers
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Symbiont relationships between corals and photosynthetic microorganisms sustain coral reef existence. However, the Great Amazon Reef System (GARS) stays under a plume layer that attenuates the entry of light, and instead of corals, sponges are the major ...

Taxonomic and functional microbial signatures of the endemic marine sponge Arenosclera brasiliensis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The endemic marine sponge Arenosclera brasiliensis (Porifera, Demospongiae, Haplosclerida) is a known source of secondary metabolites such as arenosclerins A-C. In the present study, we established the composition of the A.

Comparative genome-centric analysis reveals seasonal variation in the function of coral reef microbiomes [PDF]
, 2020 Microbially mediated processes contribute to coral reef resilience yet, despite extensive characterisation of microbial community variation following environmental perturbation, the effect on microbiome function is poorly understood.

From friends to foes: fungi could be emerging marine sponge pathogens under global change scenarios
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Global change, experienced in the form of ocean warming and pollution by man-made goods and xenobiotics, is rapidly affecting reef ecosystems and could have devastating consequences for marine ecology. Due to their critical role in regulating marine food

Freshwater Sponges as a Neglected Reservoir of Bacterial Biodiversity
Microorganisms, 2023 Freshwater sponges (Spongillida: Demospongiae), including more than 240 described species, are globally distributed in continental waters (except for Antarctica), where they cover both natural and artificial surfaces.

Holobiont dysbiosis or acclimatation? Shift in the microbial taxonomic diversity and functional composition of a cosmopolitan sponge subjected to chronic pollution in a Patagonian bay [PDF]
PeerJDysbiosis and acclimatization are two starkly opposing outcomes of altered holobiont associations in response to environmental pollution. This study assesses whether shifts in microbial taxonomic composition and functional profiles of the cosmopolitan ...
