Linking abundance and diversity of sponge-associated microbial communities to metabolic differences in host sponges (2007, background): “Many of the sequences of the bands from these two species showed high homology with previously reported sequences from other sponge-associated microorganisms (Table 1; Webster et al. 2001; Hentschel et al. 2002; Thoms et al. 2003; Thacker 2005).”
Complex interactions between marine sponges and their symbiotic microbial communities (2011, background): “These “food” bacteria seem to be transient members (Thoms et al., 2003) of the microbial population in sponges”
Bioactive natural products from marine sponges and fungal endophytes (2010, background): “The Mediterranean Sea is home to two Aplysina species: Aplysina aerophoba which occurs in water depths as low as 1 m (Riedl 1983; Pansini 1997; Thoms et al. 2003b ), and Aplysina cavernicola which prefers shaded caves and deeper habitats (40 m or lower) (Wilkinson and Vacelet 1979; Thoms et al. 200”
