Petrosia is a genus of sponges belonging to the family Petrosiidae. [1] Petrosia are well distributed from temperate zone waters to tropical and from intertidal zone to deep waters.[2]
The genus has almost cosmopolitan distribution.[1]
Sponges are effective filter feeders, and associated, undigested microorganisms can count up to 60% of the fresh weight of marine sponges.[3] These microorganisms include bacteria, fungi, cyanobacteria and unicellular algae.[4]
