Microbial Strategies for Survival in the Glass Sponge Vazella pourtalesii

Microbial Strategies for Survival in the Glass Sponge Vazella pourtalesii

We investigated the microbial community of V. pourtalesii that forms globally unique, monospecific sponge grounds under low-oxygen conditions on the Scotian Shelf, where it plays a key role in its vulnerable ecosystem. The microbial community was found to be concentrated within biomass patches and i...
