Abstract
Sponges are commonly divided into high (HMA) and low (LMA) microbial‐abundance species according to the bacterial biomass in their tissue. These two groups reflect distinct aquiferous structures and feeding strategies. In the NW Mediterranean coralligenous community, HMA and LMA sponges are often packed in dense, multispecies assemblages that cover many pinnacles and overhangs. We investigated the metabolism of HMA and LMA species that...
