 on heliophila\, and their microbial symbionts: roles in marine phosphorus 
 cycling\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Lauren Jonas (Master's Candidate)\n\n\n\nAbstract:
  Marine sponges have emerged as major players within coral reef biogeochem
 ical cycles\, facilitating intake and release of carbon\, nitrogen\, and p
 hosphorus. The majority of studies have investigated the role of sponges i
 n transforming dissolved carbon and nitrogen\; however\, the same breadth 
 of insights has not been extended to phosphorus. This study uses 32 P-labl
 ed orthophosphate and ATP to determine that two marine sponges\, Lendenfel
 dia chondrodes and Hymeniacidon heliophila\, both rapidly take up ambient 
 dissolved inorganic phosphate and dissolved organic phosphorus. Subsequent
  genetic analysis and chemical extraction showed that sponge symbionts sto
 re phosphorus in the form of energy-rich polyphosphate (poly-P). L. chondr
 odes\, a sponge from oligotrophic habitats and with a microbiome dominated
  by cyanobacterial symbionts\, stores more phosphorus as poly-P (6–8%) tha
 n H. heliophila (0.55%)\, a eutrophic sponge with low cyanobacterial abund
 ance. This work adds new insights to the roles of the sponge holobiont in 
 cycling the crucial element\, phosphorus.\n\n\n\nHost: Dr. Russell Hill\n
