The sponge microbiome, especially in Low Microbial Abundance (LMA) species, is expected to be influenced by the local environment; however, contrasting results exist with evidence showing that host specificity is also important, hence suggesting that the

Unravelling the sponge microbiome as a promising source of biosurfactants
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

Genome-centric view of the microbiome in a new deep-sea glass sponge species Bathydorus sp.
Sponges are widely distributed in the global ocean and harbor diverse symbiotic microbes with mutualistic relationships. However, sponge symbionts in the deep sea remain poorly studied at the genome level.

The freshwater Sponge Ephydatia Fluviatilis harbours diverse pseudomonas species (Gammaproteobacteria, Pseudomonadales) with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity [PDF]
Bacteria are believed to play an important role in the fitness and biochemistry of sponges (Porifera). Pseudomonas species (Gammaproteobacteria, Pseudomonadales) are capable of colonizing a broad range of eukaryotic hosts, but knowledge of their ...

Microbiome profiling and Actinomycetes isolation from tropical marine sponges. [PDF]
Marine sponges are well-known for their production of bioactive compounds, many of which are synthesized by their associated symbiotic microorganisms. Among these, Actinomycetes are of particular interest due to their ability to produce secondary metabolites with antimicrobial and antitumor activities.

Bacterial aerobic methane cycling by the marine sponge-associated microbiome
Abstract Background Methanotrophy by the sponge-hosted microbiome has been mainly reported in the ecological context of deep-sea hydrocarbon seep niches where methane is either produced geothermically or via anaerobic methanogenic archaea inhabiting the sulfate-depleted sediments.

Global patterns in symbiont selection and transmission strategies in sponges
Sponges host dense and diverse communities of microbes (known as the microbiome) beneficial for the host nutrition and defense. Symbionts in turn receive shelter and metabolites from the sponge host, making their relationship beneficial for both partners.
