Prokaryotic Diversity and Community Patterns in Antarctic Continental Shelf Sponges

Prokaryotic Diversity and Community Patterns in Antarctic Continental Shelf Sponges

Marine sponges (Phylum Porifera) are globally distributed within marine and freshwater ecosystems. In addition, sponges host dense and diverse prokaryotic communities, which are potential sources of novel bioactive metabolites and other complex compounds. Those sponge-derived natural products can sp...
