We developed an in-vivo assay to quantify phagocytosis of different particles by sponge cells. Happy to share this publication, the first of my Ph.D! frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Interested to see how the breadcrumb sponge Halichondria panicea “eats up” particles?

New @whoi study shows that Reef benthic-metabolite-microbe connections matter for Caribbean reefs Exciting work by @lggray3 @LizKuj @CynthiaBecker25 @OceannLady and more. Thanks to @NSF @NOAA for funding (read more for surprise..)

“Do sponges meet their basal metabolic requirements? “
Well…it seems they are pretty fine!
Nice to present preliminary results to enthusiastic sponge community 🥳 #SpongeThursday #11worldspongeconference @sponge_2022

@LaraSchmittmann Great speed talk by @ammarulandag on her first international conference! #teamhalicondria #11worldspongeconference

@vicentejan Well done spongers! Amazing job! Finally the world knows that there are sponges on Hawai'i!

Proud of the work Emily Rutkowksi and Gabrielle Martineau have presented at the #11worldspongeconference tackling the sponge cryptofauna

My favourite quote of the day: "Sponges are like presents, you never know what you get when you open them" by Swee-Cheng Lim from Singapore.
Sponge_2022@sponge_2022
Closing off the #deepsea session are Swee-Cheng Lim NUS on finding new (tiny!) demosponges in Pacific abyssal plains and Erik Wurz @WUR on the adverse effects of deep sea mining on Geodia barretti #11worldspongeconference

@visionsoftheenv @ute_hentschel Hi @visionsoftheenv very interesting question! Unfortunately, I'm not aware of DOM uptake in foraminifera, but would be happy to discuss ways to test it!
English
@ute_hentschel @BenBlueExplore This sounds really interesting. Wondering what DOM insights there is on #foraminifera. Maybe @BenBlueExplore would know. Enjoy the worldsponge conference and keep in touch. I plan to email you again soon!

My favourite title of today: "What the sponge is DOM?" Ben Müller @BenBlueExplore presents novel insights into DOM cycling by sponge holobionts.

@ute_hentschel Great to see that DOM utilization by sponges is getting picked up by more&more groups @ #11worldspongeconference
Time to cherish those pioneering this work going back to the early 20th century

The @sponge_2022 conference was also a great opportunity for H2020 @DeepSea_Sponges project partners to re-connect and share great science and moments again! The legacy of this project is just outstanding 🙌

@WesleyJSparagon Thanks @WesleyJSparagon for your help! It was a great experiment & the preliminary data looks really promising!
English
@ammarulandag @ute_hentschel Congratulations Janis, you did an amazing job over the past year & your final presentation was culmination of all your hard work & efforts!

Our master student, Janis Müller, defended today his project on whether the bacterial uptake and respiration of the Baltic sponge H. panicea differ from natural vs. aquaria conditions. @ute_hentschel @BenBlueExplore

@SpongeLoop @Detmer_Sipkema @hauke_smidt @BeckingLisa @GeorgSteinert It was great to work together with all of you...
& being able to go down with the @SubstationCur was the icing on the cake 😊
English
@Detmer_Sipkema @hauke_smidt @BeckingLisa @BenBlueExplore @GeorgSteinert Happy to hear that another collaborative study just got published!
Congratz to Indra, @Detmer_Sipkema & all other coauthors to that nice study

Check out our new article where we show that corals can ventilate areas of high oxygen production by ciliary beating, helping them mitigate potential oxidative damage 🪸 cell.com/current-biolog…

Today’s #okeanos dive was a #deepsea #sponge bonanza. Several glass sponges, tetractinellids and even carnivorous sponges 🤩 Just perfect for #SpongeThursday
NOAA Ocean Exploration@oceanexplorer
The day is young (and the dive just getting started), but we've already seen a wide variety of sponge body forms. See more on our livestream: oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/okeanos/explor… #Okeanos #voyagetotheridge
