Changes in the metabolic potential of the sponge microbiome under ocean acidification

Anthropogenic CO2 emissions are causing ocean acidification, which can affect the physiology of some organisms. Here, Botté et al. use metagenomics to show differences in metabolic potential between sponge microbiomes sampled at a shallow volcanic CO2 seep and those from nearby control sites.
