Sponges are sessile filter-feeders that can process vast amounts of water and are known to influence the chemistry of the surrounding seawater. There has been limited work however to understand the extent to which sponges alter dissolved organic matter (DOM), yet in areas where sponges are abunda...
Seawater dissolved organic matter (DOM) is a large reservoir of carbon composed of a complex and poorly characterized mixture of molecules. Sponges have long been known to consume dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from this mixture, but the role of microbial sponge symbionts in this process is compl...

Marine sponges can host abundant and diverse microbiomes, which can largely influence the metabolism and other phenotypic traits of the host. However, information on the potential relationships between sponge microbiomes and metabolic signatures, other than secondary metabolites explored for biot...
