摘要

Baikalian sponges are unique organisms with many species harboring symbiotic microbes that produce novel bioactive compounds. To investigate bacterial diversity of three species of Baikalian sponges, specimens of Lubomirskia baicalensis, Baikalospongia intermedia and Swartschewskia papyracea collected from Lake Baikal were processed by pyrosequencing. We found differences in the species composition and diversity in bacteria among these sponges. Cyanobacteria accounted for the highest proportion and the second group was Proteobacteria in three sponges. The bacterial communities in B. intermedia and L. baicalensis were highly similar but less similar to the bacterial community associated with S. papyracea. Diversity of the bacterial community in S. papyracea was higher than in L. baicalensis and B. intermedia. In particular, the relative abundance of Actinobacteria was higher in S. papyracea. Bacterial species in phyla Acidobacteria and Gemmatimonadetes were only found in S. papyracea.
