This study represents the microbiological part of the BOSMAN project (Boreal Sponges; Sources of Marine Natural Products) and investigates the diversity of bacteria associated with sponges from boreal deep water regions. A variety of sponges were collected from the Sula Ridge and the shelf off the Norwegian coast with the aim to identify and characterize their associated microorganisms. Classical cultivation techniques as well as culture independent molecular methods were applied for this purpose. With both approaches a broad diversity of phylogenetic groups could be detected, but there was no correspondence between the results of the two methods. Each dataset provides a different part of the picture and thus contributes to a more comprehensive view of the sponge bacteria community.
