Genomic blueprints of sponge-prokaryote symbiosis are shared by low abundant and cultivatable Alphaproteobacteria [PDF]

, 2019
Marine sponges are early-branching, filter-feeding metazoans that usually host complex microbiomes comprised of several, currently uncultivatable symbiotic lineages.

Holobiont Evolution: Mathematical Model with Vertical vs. Horizontal Microbiome Transmission [PDF]

, 2020
A holobiont is a composite organism consisting of a host together with its microbiome, such as a coral with its zooxanthellae. To explain the often intimate integration between hosts and their microbiomes, some investigators contend that selection ...

How does heat stress affect sponge microbiomes? Structure and resilience of microbial communities of marine sponges from different habitats

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
IntroductionSponges are key components of marine benthic communities, providing many ecosystem functions and establishing close relationships with microorganisms, conforming the holobiont.

Assessing the Diversity and Biomedical Potential of Microbes Associated With the Neptune’s Cup Sponge, Cliona patera

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Marine sponges are known to host a complex microbial consortium that is essential to the health and resilience of these benthic invertebrates. These sponge-associated microbes are also an important source of therapeutic agents.

The Microbiome and Occurrence of Methanotrophy in Carnivorous Sponges [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
As shown by recent studies, filter-feeding sponges are known to host a wide variety of microorganisms. However, the microbial community of the non-filtering carnivorous sponges (Porifera, Cladorhizidae) has been the subject of less scrutiny. Here, we present the results from a comparative study of the methanotrophic carnivorous sponge Cladorhiza ...

Body-Plan Reorganization in a Sponge Correlates with Microbiome Change

Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2022
Abstract Mounting evidence suggests that animals and their associated bacteria interact via intricate molecular mechanisms, and it is hypothesized that disturbances to the microbiome influence animal development. Here, we show that the loss of a key photosymbiont (i.e., bleaching) upon shading correlates with a stark body-plan ...

Microbial communities and bioactive compounds in marine sponges of the family Irciniidae-a review [PDF]

, 2014
Marine sponges harbour complex microbial communities of ecological and biotechnological importance. Here, we propose the application of the widespread sponge family Irciniidae as an appropriate model in microbiology and biochemistry research. Half a gram

First insights into the microbiome of a carnivorous sponge [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2013
Using 454 pyrosequencing, we characterized for the first time the associated microbial community of the deep-sea carnivorous Demosponge Asbestopluma hypogea (Cladorhizidae). Targeting the 16S rRNA gene V3 and V6 hypervariable regions, we compared the diversity and composition of associated microbes of two individual sponges of A.

Microbiome Analysis of Healthy and Bleached Freshwater Sponges

Proceedings of 1st International Electronic Conference on Biological Diversity, Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Sponge microbiome is an indicator of both natural and antropogenic stresses. In aquatic ecology, metagenomic approaches makes it possible to investigate complex microbial communities and their interactions within the host as well as with environment. A metagenomic study was performed among 4 different samples of healthy and diseased freshwater sponges ...

Multipartner Symbiosis across Biological Domains: Looking at the Eukaryotic Associations from a Microbial Perspective

mSystems, 2019
Sponges establish tight associations with both micro- and macroorganisms. However, while studies on sponge microbiomes are numerous, nothing is currently known about the microbiomes of sponge-associated polychaetes and their relationships with those of ...
