Metadata and NCBI-Accession numbers of Vazella pourtalesii metagenomes from the Scotian Shelf (Canada) in summer 2017
Until now few studies have explored the microbiomes of glass sponges (Hexactinellida). Vazella pourtalesii forms globally unique, monospecific sponge grounds under low-oxygen conditions on the Scotian Shelf. Using metagenomic binning we performed detailed analyses of the metabolic functional capacities of four V. pourtalesii-associated microbial taxa (SAR324, Patescibacteria, Nanoarchaeota, and Crenarchaeota).
