Characterization of a sponge microbiome using an integrative genome-centric approach. [PDF]
Marine sponges often host diverse and species-specific communities of microorganisms that are critical for host health. Previous functional genomic investigations of the sponge microbiome have focused primarily on specific symbiont lineages, which ...

Erratum to: The sponge microbiome project. [PDF]
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.

Microbiome changes through the ontogeny of the marine sponge Crambe crambe
Background Poriferans (sponges) are highly adaptable organisms that can thrive in diverse marine and freshwater environments due, in part, to their close associations with internal microbial communities.

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

Climate change is predicted to have detrimental impacts on sessile invertebrates, including sponges. Mesophotic ecosystems have been suggested to play a major role as refugia for coral reef sponge species, however knowledge regarding the ability of ...

Plume Layer Influences the Amazon Reef Sponge Microbiome Primary Producers
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 ...
