Widespread Distribution of Poribacteria in Demospongiae [PDF]
ABSTRACT Poribacteria were found in nine sponge species belonging to six orders of Porifera from three oceans. Phylogenetic analysis revealed four distinct poribacterial clades, which contained organisms obtained from several different geographic regions, indicating that the distribution of poribacteria is cosmopolitan.

Chemotaxonomy of Agelas (Porifera: Demospongiae) [PDF]
The secondary metabolite content of four different species of Agelas (Porifera) from the West Indies has been studied. All the compounds isolated are already known metabolites whose identification was confirmed by comparison of their spectral properties with those reported in the literature.
