Survival strategies for the microbiome in a vent-dwelling glass sponge species from the middle Okinawa Trough
The adaptive mechanism of sponge microbiomes towards deep-sea harsh environments including hydrothermal vents and cold seeps are unclear. Here, we employ metagenomic approach to investigate the microbiome of an undescribed vent-dwelling glass sponge from the middle Okinawa Trough.
