Popis: Symbiont relationships between corals and photosynthetic microorganisms sustain coral reef existence. However, the Great Amazon Reef System (GARS) stays under a plume layer that attenuates the entry of light, and instead of corals, sponges are the major reef epifauna, for which little is known about the function of the associated microbiome. Here, we used genome-resolved metagenomics to investigate how the sponge microbiome supports its host and overcomes the reduced light availability, recovering 205 MAGs from Agelas and Geodia sponges with completeness >70% and contamination
