This project studies the unique metabolic pathways of sponges, which can survive in low-oxygen environments. By investigating their biogeochemistry and signaling mechanisms, it aims to provide insights into how these organisms adapt to hypoxic conditions and their implications for higher animal life.
Sponges are considered to be one of the most ancient lineages of metazoans and are believed to have emerged amongst these early branching animal lineages at a time before the oceans became fully oxic around the middle to late Neoproterozoic Era (850-542 Mya).
Sponges appear to retain some sort of ancestral memory of the hypoxic milieu from which they evolved and can still tolerate harsh hypoxic or anoxic conditions for relatively long periods.
They express specialized anaerobic pathways that hav…
