The marine environment with its vast biological diversity encompasses many organisms that
produce bioactive natural products. Marine microorganisms are rich sources of compounds …

Symbiotic relationships between corals and their associated micro‐organisms are essential
to maintain host homeostasis. Coral‐associated bacteria (CAB) can have different beneficial …

Despite the development of several cultivation methods, the rate of discovery of
microorganisms that are yet-to-be cultivated outpaces the rate of isolating and cultivating …

Despite an increased understanding of functions in sponge microbiomes, the interactions
among the symbionts and between symbionts and host are not well characterized. Here we …

Marine sponges are early-branching, filter-feeding metazoans that usually host complex
microbiomes comprised of several, currently uncultivatable symbiotic lineages. Here, we use …

Eukaryotic‐like proteins (ELP s) are classes of proteins that are found in prokaryotes, but
have a likely evolutionary origin in eukaryotes. ELP s have been postulated to mediate host …

Sponges are sessile benthic filter-feeding animals, which harbor numerous microorganisms.
The enormous diversity and abundance of sponge associated bacteria envisages sponges …

The application of high-throughput microbial community profiling as well as “omics”
approaches unveiled high diversity and host-specificity of bacteria associated with marine …

Tropone natural products are non‐benzene aromatic compounds of significant ecological
and pharmaceutical interest. Herein, we highlight current knowledge on bacterial tropones …

This study aimed to assess the diversity and antimicrobial activity of cultivable bacteria
associated with Vietnamese sponges. In total, 460 bacterial isolates were obtained from 18 …
