The promise of a DNA taxonomy. (2004, neutral): “However, it is noteworthy that some globally distributed ecosystems have an overall low bacterial diversity (Hentschel et al. 2002).”
Microbial indicators as a diagnostic tool for assessing water quality and climate stress in coral reef ecosystems (2017, background): “Bacterial species associated with different sponges are more closely related to each other than to bacteria from the ambient water column and, hence, these monophyletic groupings of sponge symbionts are often referred to as ‘sponge-specific sequence clusters’ (SCs) (Hentschel et al. 2002; Schmitt et”
Mom Knows Best: The Universality of Maternal Microbial Transmission (2013, background): “Independent studies have estimated that up to 33 phylogenetically distinct microbial clusters spanning ten bacterial phyla and one archaeal phylum are vertically transmitted in sponges [41,84,86,88].”
Deep-sea sponge grounds of the Flemish Cap, Flemish Pass and the Grand Banks of Newfoundland (Northwest Atlantic Ocean): Distribution and species composition (2012, background): “Further- more, deep-sea sponges play an important role in ecosystem function where they enhance nutrient cycling and energy exchange (Hentschel et al. 2002; De Goeij & van Duyl 2007).”
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).”
The ecology and phylogeny of cyanobacterial symbionts in sponges (2008, background): “nucula, and many GenBank sequences (Diaz 1997; Hentschel et al. 2002; Usher et al. 2004a; Steindler et al. 2005; Thacker 2005; Erwin & Thacker 2007; Taylor et al. 2007) belong to this group, making it the largest sponge-specific clade of bacterial symbionts known (Taylor et al.”
The functional roles of marine sponges (2008, background): “Although diverse microbial communities have been associated with temperate and polar sponges (see Hentschel et al., 2002; Webster et al., 2004; Taylor et al., 2007), there is still little information on their productivity levels.”
Bacterial community diversity associated with four marine sponges from the South China Sea based on 16S rDNA-DGGE fingerprinting (2006, background): “In general, a 16S rDNA library strategy can reveal much more bacterial diversity than a DGGE-based strategy (Hentschel et al., 2002), especially when the bacteria are not predominant.”
Ecological interactions of marine sponges (2006, background): “An enormous variety of heterotrophic bacteria, including representatives of seven divisions, have been identified by comprehensive surveys using 16S rDNA sequences (Hentschel et al. 2002).”
An Anaerobic World in Sponges (2005, background): “Phylogenetic analyses of associated bacteria in different sponge species showed a deep branching of a sponge-specific sequence cluster within the division of delta proteobacteria, to which SRB belong (Hentschel et al. 2002).”
