N2 - We present a genome assembly from an individual Petrosia ficiformis (stone sponge; Porifera; Demospongiae; Haplosclerida; Petrosiidae). The genome sequence is 191.3 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 18 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 18.89 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of the host organism assembly identified 18,339 protein coding genes. The metagenome of the specimen was also assembled, and 112 binned bacterial genomes were identified, including 57 high-quality MAGs. Besides MAGs characteristic of HMA sponge symbionts (i.e., Chloroflexota, Acidobacteriota), the P. ficiformis specific symbiont Candidatus Synechococcus feldmanni (formerly Aphanocapsa feldmanni (Cyanobacteriota) was recovered, as well as notably MAGs of several candidate phyla (Candidatus Latescibacteria, Poribacteria, Tectomicrobia, Dadabacteria, Kapabacteria and Binatia).
