This study shows sponge-associated ammonia-oxidizing archaea use branched-chain amino acids as a carbon and nitrogen source, revealing a mixotrophic lifestyle and a new nutritional interaction in sponge holobionts.

This study examines the spatial distribution of Endozoicomonas bacterial aggregates in Acropora loripes coral tissues, revealing distinct aggregation patterns between two phylogenetic clades.

This study identifies two novel nitrifying symbiont lineages in marine sponges, showing vertical transmission and suggesting their role in nitrogen cycling.
