Lindane Bioremediation Capability of Bacteria Associated with the Demosponge Hymeniacidon perlevis

Marine Drugs, 2017
Lindane is an organochlorine pesticide belonging to persistent organic pollutants (POPs) that has been widely used to treat agricultural pests. It is of particular concern because of its toxicity, persistence and tendency to bioaccumulate in terrestrial ...

Mimicking the Ocean: Critical Challenges in Scaffold Design and Tissue Texturization for Cell‐Cultured Seafood

Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Cellular aquaculture offers a sustainable solution to global seafood demand, yet the production of high‐value, whole‐cut fillets is hindered by the “texture gap,” the inability to replicate the complex, anisotropic architecture of native fish muscle and its collagenous myosepta.

Towards Key Principles of Host‐Associated Microbiome Assembly

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 6, June 2026.
Symbiotic relationships between microbes and hosts frequently involve the assembly of complex microbial communities (i.e., the microbiome). Microbiome composition and function influence host life‐history traits, ecological trajectories of partners, and are often critical for host health.

Bioremediation Capabilities of Hymeniacidon perlevis (Porifera, Demospongiae) in a Land-Based Experimental Fish Farm

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
The expansion of aquaculture practices in coastal areas can alter the balance of microbial communities in nearby marine ecosystems with negative impacts on both farmed and natural species, as well as on human health through their consumption.

Genome-wide analysis of the sox family in the calcareous sponge Sycon ciliatum: multiple genes with unique expression patterns

EvoDevo, 2012
Background Sox genes are HMG-domain containing transcription factors with important roles in developmental processes in animals; many of them appear to have conserved functions among eumetazoans.

Rapid Decreases and Performance Declines in Northeast Pacific Seamount Foundation Species Detected in an Oxygen Minimum Zone

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 4, April 2026.
Across 12 long‐term monitoring sites on three Northeast Pacific seamounts, 163 of 844 cold‐water coral and sponge individuals were lost between surveys 3–5 years apart, with abundance declining at five sites and condition (i.e., health) declining at nine.

Associations of Commercial Fisheries and Cold‐Water Corals and Sponges

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 116-129, March 2026.
Three metrics for determining whether the marine life that are landed by commercial fisheries are associated with cold‐water corals and sponges: (a) Adjacent; (b) General Proximity; and (c) Habitat. The relationship between these structure forming invertebrates (SFI) and fisheries is robust across analytical approaches.

Sponge community of the western Black Sea shallow water caves: diversity and spatial distribution [PDF]

PeerJ, 2018
Marine caves possess unique biocoenotic and ecological characteristics. Sessile benthic species such as sponges associated with cave habitats typically show a marked zonation from the cave entrance towards the end of the cave.

Barcoding‐Inferred Biodiversity of Shallow‐Water Indo‐Pacific Demosponges

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The Indo‐Pacific is the world's largest marine biogeographic region. It is characterised by different degrees of connectivity among its subregions and harbours the majority of demosponge species currently known to science. Comparisons between regional sponge faunas have been undertaken in the past, mostly based on morphological species ...

Cytotoxicity and Glycan-Binding Properties of an 18 kDa Lectin Isolated from the Marine Sponge <em>Halichondria </em><em>o</em><em>kadai</em>

Toxins, 2012
A divalent cation-independent lectin—HOL-18, with cytotoxic activity against leukemia cells, was purified from a demosponge, <em>Halichondria okadai</em>. HOL-18 is a 72 kDa tetrameric lectin that consists of four non-covalently bonded 18 kDa
