Human activities increasingly threaten marine ecosystems through rising waste and temperatures. This study investigated the role of plastics as vectors for Vibrio bacteria effects temperature on sponge Sarcotragus spinosulus. Samples sponges were collected during July, August (high-temperature period), November (lower-temperature period). Bacterial growth responses analysed using biochemical biomarkers. The results revealed a peak in colony-forming units (CFU), particularly alginolyticus, August, followed by decrease November. In CFU counts spp. significantly higher with poor external appearance (characterized dull coloration heavy epiphytic growth) but returned to levels observed healthy Microplastics detected tissues both groups, concentrations found affected specimens. Biomarker analyses increased lysozyme, glutathione S-transferase, catalase, superoxide dismutase while malondialdehyde levels, indicating oxidative damage, sponges. conclusion, exhibited elevated reduced antioxidant detoxification under These findings suggest that combined impacts warming may pose significant risks S. spinosulus context global climate change.

Silicase, an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of silicon-oxygen bonds, is a crucial player in breaking down silicates into silicic acid, particularly organisms like aquatic sponges with siliceous skeletons. Despite its significance, our understanding silicase remains limited. This study comprehensively examines from demosponge Suberites domuncula, focusing on kinetics toward CO
