Patterns of microbiome transition along salinity gradients, and importance fo...
We are interested in whether the host fish microbiome is important for host adaptation to alternate osmotic niches. Toward this goal, we seek to describe the patterns of... -
Microbial diversity in four Mediterranean irciniid sponges
The examined host species, all collected from Crete, Greece, are Ircinia fasciculata, I. oros, I. variabilis, and Sarcotragus spinosulus. In this study we have tried to answer... -
Prokaryotic communities of the sponge Dactylospongia elegans
Sponges were widespread in the South China Sea. Reports have shown numerous natural products extracted from sponges . Sponge-associated microbes have also been reported in... -
The Sponge Microbiome Project
Marine sponges (phylum Porifera) are a diverse, phylogenetically deep-branching clade known for forming intimate partnerships with complex communities of microorganisms. To... -
A whole-watershed microbiome reveals a cross-biome role in symbiont sources a...
In this study we map microbial distributions within a small, natural watershed in order to examine source-sink dynamics of symbiotic microbes at the landscape scale, among... -
Habitat conditions reflect compositional differences in microbiome among Cari...
Sea urchins are considered one of the most common benthic grazers in tropical marine ecosystems and can exert a strong in??uence in the community structure. The sea urchins... -
Intestinal Adaptation in Proximal and Distal Segments: Two Epithelial Respons...
Introduction: In short bowel syndrome (SBS), luminal factors influence adaptation in which truncated intestine increases villus lengths and crypt depths to increase nutrient... -
Exposure to Arsenic Alters the Microbiome of Larval Zebrafish
Microbiomes help maintain host health by playing key roles in immunity, energy-production, and development. These functions depend on the composition and development of the... -
Olympia Oyster Microbiome
Olympia Oyster (Ostrea lurida) populations rapidly declined in Washington over a century ago. Currently, there are efforts by the state of Washington DNR to monitor Ostrea... -
Microbiota associated with the 2022 Diadema antillarum die-off in Puerto Rico
The Caribbean basin has suffered alarming numbers of collapsing marine populations due to diseases in recent decades. The well-documented die-off episode of the long-spined sea... -
Temporal variations in size and habitat of white sea urchin Tripneustes ventr...
Sea urchins play a critical role as herbivores keeping the balance between coral and algae. The White sea urchin Tripneustes ventricosus is an important herbivore of seagrass... -
Characterization of the intestinal microbiota of the sea cucumber Holothuria ...
High-throughput 16S rRNA gene sequencing has been used to identify the intestinal microbiota of many animal species, but that of marine invertebrate organisms remains largely... -
The sea star, Pisaster ochraceus, has unique and dominant bacteria.
All animals live in close association with bacteria, but for most hosts little is known about the distribution and host-specificity of these bacteria. We used amplicon... -

Epidermal mucus from Anguilla anguilla Metagenome
The main objectives of this study are: (i) to analyze the microbiota associated to epidermal mucus from European eel and (ii) to identify the reservoir of virulence genes from... -
DNA extraction comparison testing 2019-2020
Our DNA extraction protocol is years old, and we want to compare new extraction methods to address outstanding issues. For more details, check out the motivation and... -
A simple microbiome in the European common cuttlefish, Sepia officinalis
The European common cuttlefish, Sepia officinalis, is used extensively in biological and biomedical research yet its microbiome remains poorly characterized. We analyzed the... -
