The sponge holobiont in a changing ocean: from microbes to ecosystems
The recognition that all macroorganisms live in symbiotic association with microbial
communities has opened up a new field in biology. Animals, plants, and algae are now …

Mom knows best: the universality of maternal microbial transmission
The sterile womb paradigm is an enduring premise in biology that human infants are born
sterile. Recent studies suggest that infants incorporate an initial microbiome before birth and …

Diversity, structure and convergent evolution of the global sponge microbiome
Sponges (phylum Porifera) are early-diverging metazoa renowned for establishing complex
microbial symbioses. Here we present a global Porifera microbiome survey, set out to …

Genomic insights into the marine sponge microbiome
Marine sponges (phylum Porifera) often contain dense and diverse microbial communities,
which can constitute up to 35% of the sponge biomass. The genome of one sponge …

Assessing the complex sponge microbiota: core, variable and species-specific bacterial communities in marine sponges
Marine sponges are well known for their associations with highly diverse, yet very specific
and often highly similar microbiota. The aim of this study was to identify potential bacterial …

Functional equivalence and evolutionary convergence in complex communities of microbial sponge symbionts
Microorganisms often form symbiotic relationships with eukaryotes, and the complexity of
these relationships can range from those with one single dominant symbiont to associations …
