  "summary": "Marine sponges (phylum Porifera) are a highly diverse and polymorphic group of marine invertebrates whose taxonomic delimitation is often challenging due to high intraspecific variability and the scarcity of diagnostic morphological characters. Their close association with microbial symbionts also makes them an important source of secondary metabolites, some of which may contribute to sponge…",
