Microbacterium sp. HM-570 (16S rDNA sequence similarity 99.03% with the closest species Microbacterium lacus A5E-52T) is a sponge-associated bacterium isolated from deep-sea sponge, collected at the H...
Glass sponges (Porifera, Hexactinellida) are key habitat-forming organisms in deep-sea ecosystems, yet their diversity and distribution remains poorly understood. This work presents the first comprehe...
Seamount ecosystems are increasingly exposed to rapid oceanographic change, including warming waters, declining oxygen concentrations, and the upward migration of carbonate saturation horizons. Togeth...
Sponges are important members of shallow-water, benthic ecosystems, where they often rely on their microbial symbionts to acquire organic or inorganic carbon. Sponges are also found in the deep sea, h...
