“…Strain NW4327, which is related to the tumor-forming symbionts of Prionitis sp. macroalgae (12) and to the causative agent of juvenile oyster disease (34,35), was shown to infect and kill healthy sponge tissue (455). The mechanism by which this occurred was via degradation of the collagenous spongin fibers, with almost the entire sponge surface subject to tissue necrosis following experimental inoculation with strain NW4327 (Fig.…”

SUMMARY Marine sponges often contain diverse and abundant microbial communities, including bacteria, archaea, microalgae, and fungi. In some cases, these microbial associates comprise as much as 40% of the sponge volume and can contribute significantly to host metabolism (e.g., via photosynthesis or nitrogen fixation). We review in detail the diversity of microbes associated with sponges, including extensive 16S rRNA-based phylogenetic analyses which support the previously suggested existence of a sponge-specific microbiota. These analyses provide a suitable vantage point from which to consider the potential evolutionary and ecological ramifications of these widespread, sponge-specific microorganisms. Subsequently, we examine the ecology of sponge-microbe associations, including the establishment and maintenance of these sometimes intimate partnerships, the varied nature of the interactions (ranging from mutualism to host-pathogen relationships), and the broad-scale patterns of symbiont distribution. The ecological and evolutionary importance of sponge-microbe associations is mirrored by their enormous biotechnological potential: marine sponges are among the animal kingdom's most prolific producers of bioactive metabolites, and in at least some cases, the compounds are of microbial rather than sponge origin. We review the status of this important field, outlining the various approaches (e.g., cultivation, cell separation, and metagenomics) which have been employed to access the chemical wealth of sponge-microbe associations.

“…Roseobacters are also known to associate with a variety of marine macroalgae and animals, including green and red seaweed (18,19), sponges (95), squid (22), fish larvae (96), sea urchins (21), and oysters (26,97). A few of them have been demonstrated to induce physiological changes in the host, both positive and negative, including gall disease in the red alga Prionitis lanceolata (98), juvenile oyster disease (99), infection of the red alga Delisea pulchra (100), and inhibition of the settlement of fouling organisms on the green alga Ulva australis (19).…”

“…In addition to living freely in bulk seawater (10,11), roseobacters are dominant members of the bacterial communities associated with phytoplankton (12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17), macroalgae (18,19), and various marine animals (20)(21)(22)(23). Both mutualistic (24,25) and pathogenic (26)(27)(28)(29) life-styles have been suggested. Clade members are ubiquitous in temperate and polar oceans (30); the latter include sea ice habitats, in which Roseobacter is a major bacterial phylotype (31,32).…”

SUMMARY Members of the Roseobacter clade are equipped with a tremendous diversity of metabolic capabilities, which in part explains their success in so many different marine habitats. Ideas on how this diversity evolved and is maintained are reviewed, focusing on recent evolutionary studies exploring the timing and mechanisms of Roseobacter ecological diversification.

“…Roseovarius crassostreae (14). Interestingly, an Alphaprotetobacterium from the alpha-2 subgroup, Stappia stellulata, is also able to colonize Crassostrea larvae and seems to prevent infection by Roseovarius crassostreae, thus having a probiotic effect (13).…”
