Taurine as a key intermediate for host-symbiont interaction in the tropical sponge Ianthella basta

F. U. Moeller, C. W. Herbold, A. Schintlmeister, M. Mooshammer, C. Motti, F. Behnam, M. Watzka, T. Schweder, M. Albertsen, A. Richter, N. S. Webster, M. Wagner

The paper shows that taurine is a key intermediate in the metabolic exchange between the sponge Ianthella basta and its microbial symbionts, supporting sulfur cycling and nutrient transfer.

The promotion of stress tolerant Symbiodiniaceae dominance in juveniles of two coral species due to simulated future conditions of ocean warming and acidification

A. P. Terrell, E. Marangon, N. S. Webster, I. Cooke, K. P. Quigley

This study examines how future climate conditions affect symbiont acquisition in coral juveniles, finding increased dominance of stress-tolerant algae and a novel risk metric for assessing symbiont loss impacts.

Novel reference transcriptomes for the sponges Carteriospongia foliascens and Cliona orientalis and associated algal symbiont Gerakladium endoclionum

B. W. Strehlow, M.-C. Pineda, C. D. Kenkel, P. Laffy, A. Duckworth, M. Renton, P. L. Clode, N. S. Webster

The paper generates reference transcriptomes for two sponge species and their algal symbiont, providing resources for studying stress responses and evolutionary biology.

Characterization of a thaumarchaeal symbiont that drives incomplete nitrification in the tropical sponge Ianthella basta

F. U. Moeller, N. S. Webster, C. W. Herbold, F. Behnam, D. Domman, M. Albertsen, M. Mooshammer, S. Markert, D. Turaev, D. Becher, T. Rattei, T. Schweder, A. Richter, M. Watzka, P. H. Nielsen, M. Wagner

This paper characterizes a thaumarchaeal symbiont in the sponge Ianthella basta, showing it is the sole ammonia-oxidizer and reveals adaptations for a mixotrophic lifestyle.

Microbial predictors of environmental perturbations in coral reef ecosystems

B. Glasl, D. G. Bourne, P. Frade, T. Thomas, B. Schaffelke, N. S. Webster

This study evaluates the diagnostic value of microbial communities in coral reef ecosystems to predict environmental perturbations, finding that free-living microbiomes are more sensitive and informative than host-associated ones.
