Marine sponges are associated with a remarkable array of microorganisms. Using a tag
pyrosequencing technology, this study was the first to investigate in depth the microbial …

Aggregation of algae, mainly diatoms, is an important process in marine systems leading to
the settling of particulate organic carbon predominantly in the form of marine snow …

Complex microbiomes reside in marine sponges and consist of diverse microbial taxa,
including functional guilds that may contribute to host metabolism and coastal marine …

Microbial symbiotic communities of marine macro-organisms carry functional metabolic
profiles different to the ones found terrestrially and within surrounding marine environments …

Marine sessile eukaryotic hosts provide a unique surface for microbial colonisation.
Chemically mediated interactions between the host and colonising microorganisms …

Marine sponges have a long history of farming, starting with bath sponges over 5000 years
ago in the Mediterranean. Many species have since been found appropriate for distinct …

Marine sponges host bacterial communities with important ecological and economic roles in
nature and society, yet these benefits depend largely on the stability of host–symbiont …
