Molecular response of Mediterranean sponges upon encounter with bacterioplank...
RNA from the Mediterranean sponges Aplysina aerophoba and Dysidea avara was extracted at 1h, 3h and 5h after being incubated with bacteria consortia enriched from ambient... -
Cultivation of bacteria from Aplysina aerophoba: effects of oxygen and nutrie...
To cultivate bacteria derived from the marine sponge Aplysina aerophoba, nine novel media formulations were created based on the predicted genomic potential of the prevalent... -
Comparative analysis of amplicon and metagenomic sequencing methods reveals k...
Background: The interplay between hosts and their associated microbiome is now recognized as a fundamental basis of the ecology, evolution and development of both players. These... -
Aplysina aerophoba, genomic and transcriptomic data
This project collects the genomic and transcriptomic data generated for Aplysina aerophoba to facilitate genome assembly and annotation as part of the Aquatic Symbiosis Genomics... -
marine sponge biosynthetic profiles
specialised metabolism characterisation of metagenomes of three high microbial abundance marine sponges, aplysina aerophoba, petrosia ficiformis and geodia barretti. assemblies... -
Combined omics in the marine sponge Aplysina aerophoba
The data deposited in this study come from whole-tissue samples from the marine sponge Aplysina aerophoba and associated microorganisms. Shotgun HiSeq sequencing (Illumina) was... -
Cultured bacterial diversity of sponges still largely unexplored: a cultivati...
We applied bar-coded 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing for species identification. Bacterial diversity in samples from A.aerophoba, P.ficiformis and C.candelabrum was analysed.... -
Three-domain microbial communities in Aplysina and Dysidea sponges
The samples here include Bacterial, Archaeal, Fungal and other microbial Eukaryotic amplicon sequences from Aplysina aerophoba, Aplysina cauliformis, Dysidea avara, Dysidea... -
Transcriptomic profiles of two sponge species upon exposure to microbial-asso...
The interaction of animals with microbes relies on the specific recognition of microbial-derived molecules by receptors of the immune system. Sponges (phylum Porifera), as... -
Transcriptomic profiles of the Mediterranean sponge species Aplysina aerophob...
In the seabed, chemical defences mediate inter- and intraspecific interactions and may determine organisms’ success, shaping the diversity and function of benthic communities....
