Sponges (Porifera) harbor a diversity of microorganisms that contribute largely to the production a vast array of bioactive compounds. The microorganisms associated with sponge have an important impact on the chemical diversity of the natural products.

Sponges are among the earliest branching extant animals. As such, genetic data from this group is valuable for understanding the evolution of various traits and processes in other animals. However, like many marine organisms, they are notoriously difficult
