Phylogenetic diversity of bacteria associated with the marine sponge rhopaloeides odorabile

Article Abstract:

Fluorescence in situ hybridization and 16S rRNA sequencing were used to identify various microbial populations on Rhopaloeides odorabile, a marine sponge. Results suggest that an indigenous marine actinomycete assemblage is present in R. odorabile due to the high proportion of 16S rRNA sequences obtained, along with a significant level of diversity due to low clone duplication in a 70-representative library.

Characterization of a cultural alphaproteobacterial symbiont common to many marine sponges and evidence for vertical transmission via sponge larvae

Article Abstract:

The presence of culturable symbionts from various sponge species is investigated. Mycale laxissima sponges sampled from Key Largo, Florida, contains larvae that provide an ideal opportunity to study the microbiology of sponge larvae and to determine whether alphaproteobacteria and other bacterial symbionts might be vertically transmitted.

Changes in bacterial communities of the marine sponge Mycale laxissima on transfer into aquaculture

Article Abstract:

The changes in bacterial communities associated with the marine sponge Mycale laxissima on transfer to aquaculture are analyzed by using culture-based and molecular methods. The results have shown that it is important to monitor changes in bacterial communities when examining the feasibility of growing sponges in aquaculture systems as these communities might change.
