Variability in Host Specificity and Functional Potential of Antarctic Sponge-Associated Bacterial Communities
Sponge-associated microorganisms are essential for sponge survival. They play an important role in recycling nutrients and, therefore, in the maintenance of the ecosystem. These microorganisms are diverse, species-specific, and different from those in the surrounding seawater. Bacterial sponge symbi...
