What is Analysis of bacterial communities in sponges and coral inhabiting Red Sea, using barcoded 454 pyrosequencing about?

Microbial communities are linked with marine sponge are diverse in their structure and function. Our understanding of the sponge-associated microbial diversity is limited especially from Red Sea in Saudi Arabia where few species of sponges have been studied. Here we used pyrosequencing to study two marine sponges and coral species sampled from Obhur region from Red sea in Jeddah. A total of 168 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were identified from __Haliclona caerulea, Stylissa carteri and Rhytisma fulvum__. Taxonomic identification of tag sequences of 16S ribosomal RNA revealed 6 different bacterial phyla and 9 different classes. A proportion of unclassified reads were was also observed in sponges and coral sample. We found diverse bacterial communities associated with two sponges and a coral sample. Diversity and richness estimates based on OUTs revealed that sponge __H. caerulea__ had significantly high bacterial diversity. The identified OTUs showed unique clustering in three sponge samples as revealed by Principal coordinate analysis (PCoA). __Proteobacteria__ (88–95%) was dominant phyla alonwith __Bacteroidetes__, __Planctomycetes__, __Cyanobacteria__, __Firmicutes__ and __
