Single-cell genomics reveals the lifestyle of Poribacteria , a candidate phylum symbiotically associated with marine sponges
Open accessAbstract
In this study, we present a single-cell genomics approach for the functional characterization of the candidate phylum Poribacteria, members of which are nearly exclusively found in marine sponges. The microbial consortia of the Mediterranean sponge Aplysina aerophoba were singularized by fluorescence-activated cell sorting, and individual microbial cells were subjected to phi29 polymerase-mediated ‘whole-genome amplification’. Pyrosequencing of a single amplified genome (SAG) derived from a member of the Poribacteria resulted in nearly 1.6 Mb of genomic information distributed among 554 contigs analyzed in this study. Approximately two-third of the poribacterial genome was sequenced. Our findings shed light on the functional properties and lifestyle of a possibly ancient bacterial symbiont of marine sponges. The Poribacteria are mixotrophic bacteria with autotrophic CO2-fixation capacities through the Wood–Ljungdahl pathway. The cell wall is of Gram-negative origin. The Poribacteria produce at least two polyketide synthases (PKSs), one of which is the sponge-specific Sup-type PKS. Several putative symbiosis factors such as adhesins (bacterial Ig-like domains, lamininin G domain proteins), adhesin-related proteins (ankyrin, fibronectin type III) and tetratrico peptide repeat domain-encoding proteins were identified, which might be involved in mediating sponge–microbe interactions. The discovery of genes coding for 24-isopropyl steroids implies that certain fossil biomarkers used to date the origins of metazoan life on earth may possibly be of poribacterial origin. Single-cell genomic approaches, such as those shown herein, contribute to a better understanding of beneficial microbial consortia, of which most members are, because of the lack of cultivation, inaccessible by conventional techniques.

Older records of animals are controversial.
“Older records of animals are controversial: organic biomarkers indicative of demosponges [20] are apparently derived ultimately from now symbiotic bacteria [21]; putative animal embryo fossils [22] are alternately interpreted as protists [23, 24, 25]; and contested reports of sponges [26, 27], molluscs [28], and innumerable cnidarians [29], as well as putative traces of eumetazoan or bilaterian”
From Uncertainty in the Timing of Origin of Animals and the Limits of Precision in Molecular Timescales (2015) · cites this paper as [21]
The Sterol biosynthesis section proposes that fossil steroid biomarkers associated with demosponges may originate from Poribacteria, bacteria associated with sponges. It calls this a “fascinating possibility,” so the citing sentence’s assertion that the biomarkers are apparently derived from those bacteria is more certain than the source supports. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
