Microbial metagenomes of Spongia agaricina
This study approaches the diversity, composition and function of microbial communities associated with the marine sponge Spongia agaricina, sampled in the northeast Atlantic. Shotgun metagenome sequencing (Illumina) was employed to decipher the functional features of the S. agaricina microbiome under different methods of metagenomic DNA extraction.
