Evidence of a Putative Deep Sea Specific Microbiome in Marine Sponges

Evidence of a Putative Deep Sea Specific Microbiome in Marine Sponges

The microbiota of four individual deep water sponges, Lissodendoryx diversichela, Poecillastra compressa, Inflatella pellicula, and Stelletta normani, together with surrounding seawater were analysed by pyrosequencing of a region of the 16S rRNA gene common to Bacteria and Archaea.
