Abstract:
Abstract. Sponge-associated microorganisms are key influencers of nutrient biogeochemistry
and important sources of bioactive natural products. This study provides the
first insights into the taxonomic diversity of the microbial community associated with the
sponge Xestospongia sp. from an anchialine cave in the coastal area of the underground
river of the Yucatán Peninsula in Xcalak, Quintana Roo, Mexico, and the potential antimicrobial
activity of its cultivable bacteria. High abundances of Sulfurospirillum and Desulfovibrio
were detected with 16S rRNA amplicons, suggesting that the microbial community
of Xestospongia sp. plays an important role in the geochemical sulfur cycle. Analysis with
crude extracts of Nocardiopsis dasonvillei NCA-454 revealed antimicrobial activity against
methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25913 (MSSA) and methicillin- resistant
S. aureus ATCC 43300 (MRSA). Studies of the microbiomes of sponges from the anchialine
cave system in the Yucatán Peninsula can help elucidate the biogeochemical cycles of these
poorly studied environments. Moreover, the microorganisms of these microbial communities
represent an untapped source of secondary metabolites with biotechnological potential.
Key words: anchialine cave, sponge, microbiome, natural product, microbial bioactivity,
Yucatán Peninsula.
