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 ...

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.

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.

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

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 ...

In situ responses of the sponge microbiome to ocean acidification [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2018 Climate change is causing rapid changes in reef structure, biodiversity, and function, though most sponges are predicted to tolerate conditions projected for 2100. Sponges maintain intimate relationships with microbial symbionts, with previous studies suggesting that microbial flexibility may be pivotal to success under ocean acidification (OA).

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 ...

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.
