Check out our newest paper on partitioning DOM uptake in #sponges! In sponges with few microbial symbionts, host cells drive DOM uptake, while microbes mop up waste products

Host versus microbial symbiont uptake of dissolved organic matter (DOM) was quantified in two Caribbean sponges. Authors found that sponge cells are predominantly responsible for DOM uptake, while symbiotic microbes recycle the waste-products of the host.➡️bit.ly/meps_670_1
