“…Occasional dark-staining lipid droplets were observed but there was no evidence of stellar bodies or polyphosphate bodies in any of the sections. The cyanobacterial filaments were generally in close associa- tion with sponge cells, as described by Berthold et al (1982).…”

“…3), many sections showed archaeocytes surrounding cyanobacteria; the algal cells were frequently in the process of being digested by the sponge cells (Berthold et al 1982). The archaeocytes, of approximate dimensions 35 mm by 17 mm, were highly vacuolated and contained an ovoid nucleus with a prominent nucleolus (Fig.…”

“…(cf. O. spongeliae) has been reported from T. clinides, T. miniatum (Cox et al, 1985;Larkum et al, 1987), and some marine sponges (Berthold et al, 1982, Cox et al, 1985, its ultrastructures apparently differ from those of the type-C photosymbiont from T. clinides. Cytomorphological characteristics of type C, e.g.…”

“…Cyanobionts contribute up to 80 % of sponge's carbon budget (Cheshire et al 1997 ) through photosynthesis or phagocytosis and digestion of symbiotic microbes (Maldonado and Young 1998 ). Coral reef sponges have been reported to be colonized by cyanobacterial symbionts belonging to the genera Synechocystis (Larkum et al 1988 ), Aphanocapsa (Feldmann 1935 ;Usher et al 2004 ), and Anabaena (Larkum 1999 ) and the species Oscillatoria spongeliae (Berthol et al 1982 ;Thacker and Starnes 2003 ;Ridley et al 2005 ). The most common sponge cyanobiont, Synechococcus spongiarum , has a generalist to specialist association pattern across distantly related host species despite their geographical isolation by distance (Erwin and Thacker 2008 ), which has been hypothesized to be the result of selective enrichment by the host (Hentschel et al 2002 ).…”
