The Buds of Oscarella lobularis (Porifera, Homoscleromorpha): A New Convenient Model for Sponge Cell and Evolutionary Developmental Biology

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 342, Issue 8, Page 503-528, December 2024.
We describe a technique for triggering asexual reproduction by budding in vitro and have monitored bud development. The natural properties of Oscarella lobularis buds and the technical tools we developed make them a new biological system for getting insights into sponge molecular and cellular processes.

Collagen from the Marine Sponges Axinella cannabina and Suberites carnosus: Isolation and Morphological, Biochemical, and Biophysical Characterization

Marine Drugs, 2017
In search of alternative and safer sources of collagen for biomedical applications, the marine demosponges Axinella cannabina and Suberites carnosus, collected from the Aegean and the Ionian Seas, respectively, were comparatively studied for their ...

Mitochondrial Genome of Savalia savaglia (Cnidaria, Hexacorallia) and Early Metazoan Phylogeny [PDF]

, 2018
Mitochondrial genomes have recently become widely used in animal phylogeny, mainly to infer the relationships between vertebrates and other bilaterians. However, only 11 of 723 complete mitochondrial genomes available in the public databases are of early

Environmental Flow Regimes for Dysidea avara Sponges [PDF]

, 2008
The aim of our research is to design tank systems to culture Dysidea avara for the production of avarol. Flow information was needed to design culture tanks suitable for effective production. Water flow regimes were characterized over a 1-year period for

Body Polarity and Mineral Selectivity in the Demosponge Chondrosia reniformis

The Biological Bulletin, 1998
The skeleton of the common Mediterranean demosponge Chondrosia reniformis lacks endogenous spicules; but exogenous siliceous material is selectively incorporated into its collagenous ectosome, strengthening this layer. Nevertheless, the settling of sponge buds during asexual reproduction necessitates an active incorporation of the calcareous substratum
