The culturable microbial community of the Great Barrier Reef sponge Rhopaloeides odorabile is dominated by an α-proteobacterium

The microbial community cultured from the marine sponge Rhopaloeides odorabile Thompson et al. is dominated by a single bacterium, designated strain NW001. Sequence analysis of 1212 bp of the16S rRNA gene of strain NW001. indicates that it is a member of the alpha-subgroup of the class Proteobacteri...
