AB  - Compared with bacterial symbionts, little is known about archaea in sponges 
      especially about their spatial distribution and abundance. Understanding the 
      distribution and abundance of ammonia-oxidizing archaea will help greatly in 
      elucidating the potential function of symbionts in nitrogen cycling in sponges. 
      In this study, gene libraries of 16S rRNA gene and ammonia monooxygenase subunit 
      A (amoA) genes and quantitative real-time PCR were used to study the spatial 
      distribution and abundance of archaea in the South China Sea sponge Holoxea sp. 
      As a result, Holoxea sp. specific AOA, mainly group C1a (marine group I: 
      Crenarchaeota) were identified. The presence of ammonia-oxidizing crenarchaea was 
      observed for the first time within sponge cells. This study suggested a close 
      relationship between sponge host and its archaeal symbionts as well as the 
      archaeal potential contribution to sponge host in the ammonia-oxidizing process 
      of nitrification.
