The success of the 1st International Symposium on Sponge Microbiology reflects the growing interest of the scientific community in this new and emerging field. Research themes of the symposium included symbiont diversity, physiology and function, secondary metabolites, metagenomics, single-cell genomics and other -omics approaches, sponge-symbiont interactions, sponge diseases, environmental stress, and many more. This article summarizes the major developments in the field and identifies future foci for research.
第一届国际海绵微生物学研讨会的成功反映了科学界对这个新兴领域日益增长的兴趣。研讨会的研究主题包括共生体多样性、生理学和功能、次生代谢物、宏基因组学、单细胞基因组学和其他组学方法、海绵共生体相互作用、海绵疾病、环境压力等。本文总结了该领域的主要发展，并确定了未来的研究重点。
