Symbiont transmission in marine sponges: reproduction, development, and metamorphosis

Abstract Marine sponges (phylum Porifera) form symbioses with diverse microbial communities that can be transmitted between generations through their developmental stages. Here, we integrate embryology and microbiology to review how symbiotic microorganisms are transmitted in this early-diverging li...
