Abstract
This study reports a novel deep-sea glass sponge species, *Bathydorus* sp. SQW35, from the South China Sea and provides a genome-centric view of its AOA-dominant microbiome. Fourteen microbial metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) were retrieved, including a novel *Nitrososphaerota* AOA species exhibiting symbiotic characteristics and two *Bdellovibrio* species suggesting symbiotic evolution. A new conceptual framework is proposed, highlighting potential phage involvement in the sponge holobiont.
