Sponges that harbor microalgal or cyanobacterial symbionts may benefit from photosynthetically derived carbohydrates, which are rich in carbon but devoid of nitrogen, and may therefore encounter nitro
Microbial communities have a key role in the physiology of the sponge host, and it is therefore essential to understand the stability and specificity of sponge–symbiont associations. Host-specific bac
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
