Meta-transcriptomic comparison of two sponge holobionts feeding on coral- and macroalgal-dissolved organic matter
The aim of this study was to look at the differential gene expression in the sponge host and in the sponge-associated bacteria exposed to coral and macroalgal DOM in order to see if there is a link between the metabolic pathways expressed and the previously observed differences in coral versus macroalgal DOM processing rates.
