Host-specific bacterial communities associated with six cold-seep sponge species in the South China Sea
The cold-seep sponge holobionts are attracting growing attention in recent years. In this study, we utilized 16S rRNA amplicons to characterize the bacterial communities of six deep-sea sponge species found in sponge grounds at the Formosa Ridge cold seep in the South China Sea. Bacterial communitie...
