The Persian Gulf is a special habitat of marine sponges whose bacterial communities are under-investigated. Recently, next-generation sequencing technology has comprehensively improved the knowledge o
In the present study, microbial communities of water, Cinachyrella and Paratetilla sponges inhabiting Marine Lakes and Open water ecosystems were investigated using barcoded pyrosequencing of 16S and
Sponge 16S microbial sequence data generated using MiSeq Illumina. Three samples of the sponge species Leucetta prolifera from Western Australia were sequenced to investigate the diversity of the micr
