Project description:Elevated temperature disrupts the microbiome of a bioeroding sponge
| PRJNA407695 | ENA
Project description:<p>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 biotechnological purposes, needs further investigation. Applying an integrated approach, we investigated the microbiomes associated with 4 ubiquitous Mediterranean sponge species (i.e., Petrosia ficiformis, Chondrosia reniformis, Crambe crambe and Chondrilla nucula), correlated with their metabolomic patterns (in terms of lipidomics) and microbial predicted functions. Microscopy observations of sponge tissues revealed differences in microbial abundances, which, however, were only partially linked to their diversity assessed through metabarcoding. The microbiomes of the 4 sponges showed a species-specific composition and a different core size, which was independent from the microbial diversity of the surrounding seawater. Predicted functions of the associated microbiomes allowed identifying 2 functional host clusters: one more related to heterotrophic pathways and the other more linked to phototrophic activities. Differences in the microbiomes were also associated with different metabolic profiles, mostly due to specific compounds characterizing the host and its microbiome. Overall, this study provides new insights on the functionality of sponges and their prokaryotic symbioses’, and in particular, it discloses a descriptive sketch of the diverse compartments forming the sponge holobiont.</p>

Project description:Marine sponges (phylum Porifera) are leading organisms for the discovery of bioactive compounds from nature. Their often rich and species-specific microbiota is hypothesised to be producing many of these compounds. Yet, environmental influences on the sponge-associated microbiota and bioactive compound production remain elusive. Here, we investigated the changes of microbiota and metabolomes in sponges along a depth range of 1232 m. Using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing and untargeted metabolomics, we assessed prokaryotic and chemical diversities in three deep-sea sponge species: Geodia barretti, Stryphnus fortis, and Weberella bursa. Both prokaryotic communities and metabolome varied significantly with depth, which we hypothesized to be the effect of different water masses. Up to 35.5% of microbial ASVs (amplicon sequence variants) showed significant changes with depth while phylum-level composition of host microbiome remained unchanged. The metabolome varied with depth, with relative quantities of known bioactive compounds increasing or decreasing strongly. Other metabolites varying with depth were compatible solutes regulating osmolarity of the cells. Correlations between prokaryotic community and the bioactive compounds in G. barretti suggested members of Acidobacteria, Proteobacteria, Chloroflexi, or an unclassified prokaryote as potential producers.

Project description:In the seabed, chemical defences mediate inter- and intraspecific interactions and may determine organisms’ success, shaping the diversity and function of benthic communities. Sponges represent a prominent example of chemically-defended marine organisms with great ecological success. The ecological factors controlling the production of their defensive compounds and the evolutionary forces that select for these defences remain little understood. Each sponge species produces a specific and diverse chemical arsenal with fish-deterrent, antifouling and antimicrobial properties. However, some small animals (mesograzers), mainly sea slugs, have specialized in living and feeding on sponges. Feeding on chemically-defended organisms provides a strategy to avoid predators, albeit the poor nutritional value of sponges. In order to investigate the mechanisms that control sponge chemical defence, with particular focus on the response to specialist grazers, we investigated the interaction between the sponge Aplysina aerophoba and the sea slug Tylodina perversa. Here we performed controlled experiments and collected sponge samples at different time points (3h, 1d and 6d after treatment). To further elucidate if the sponge response is specific to grazing by T. perversa, we also included a treatment in which sponges were mechanically damaged with a scalpel. We compared gene expression between treatments based on RNA-Seq data.
