Abstract

Cecília Pascelli studied viruses in coral reef sponges, identifying 50 viral morphotypes and over 25 viral families, which correlates with the sponge microbial symbionts. Cecília also showed that coral reef sponge viruses hold several metabolic genes which may provide competitive advantage for the host environmental acclimatisation.
