This dataset provides metadata of Antarctic deep-water sponges (Demospongiae and Hexactinellida) and sediment collected for microbiome analysis during expeditions PS96 (RV Polarstern, 2015/16) and JR17003a (RRS James Clark Ross, 2018) in the Weddell Sea. It includes information on sampling locations, number of bacterial sequences and amplicon sequence variants (ASVs), NCBI accession numbers for raw sequencing data, and SMF collection numbers for the sponges archived in the collection of Senckenberg Museum, Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
