Freshwater sponges in the southeastern U.S. harbor unique microbiomes that are influenced by host and environmental factors by Jacqueline G. Keleher, Taylor A. Strope, Noah E. Estrada, Allison M. Griggs Mathis, Cole G. Easson, Cara Fiore

“…We also sampled sponges at one site over 3 months and observed that divergence in the microbial community between sponge and water occurs at least several weeks after sponges emerge for the growing season and that sponges maintain a distinct community from the water as the sponge tissue degrades. Bacterial taxa within the Gammproteobacteria, Alphproteobacteria, Bacteroidota (Flavobacteriia in particular), and Verrucomicrobia, were notable as enriched in the sponge relative to the surrounding water across sponge individuals with diverging microbial communities from the water. …”
