Localization and Characterization of Ferritin in Demospongiae: A Possible Role on Spiculogenesis [PDF]

Marine Drugs, 2014
Iron, as inorganic ion or as oxide, is widely used by biological systems in a myriad of biological functions (e.g., enzymatic, gene activation and/or regulation). In particular, marine organisms containing silica structures—diatoms and sponges—grow preferentially in the presence of iron. Using primary sponge cell culture from S. domuncula–primmorphs—

A New Diketopiperazine, Cyclo-(4-S-hydroxy-R-proline-R-isoleucine), from an Australian Specimen of the Sponge Stelletta sp.

Marine Drugs, 2011
While investigating the cytotoxic activity of the methanol extract of an Australian marine sponge Stelletta sp. (Demospongiae), a new diketopiperazine, cyclo-(4-S-hydroxy-R-proline-R-isoleucine) (1), was isolated together with the known bengamides; A (2),

Transcriptomic Insights Into the Immune Repertoire of an Antarctic Sponge

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
Antarctic marine sponges are essential components of the benthic fauna, playing a crucial role in structuring this ecosystem through their own biological activities and their symbiotic relationships with diverse microorganisms. Yet, the transcriptional repertoire and the immune responses associated with interactions with microorganisms in this unique ...

Microbial diversity in four Mediterranean irciniid sponges [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal
This paper describes a dataset of microbial communities from four different sponge species: Ircinia oros (Schmidt, 1864), Ircinia variabilis (Schmidt, 1862), Sarcotragus spinosulus Schmidt, 1862 and Sarcotragus fasciculatus (Pallas, 1766).

Host Evolutionary History Drives Prokaryotic Diversity in the Globally Distributed Sponge Family Petrosiidae

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 24, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Sponge microbial communities play a crucial role in marine ecosystem functioning and serve as a rich source of bioactive compounds. While host identity is recognised as a major determinant of microbiome diversity, the underlying evolutionary mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study aimed to comprehensively assess phylosymbiosis patterns

Growth Efficiency and Carbon Balance for the Sponge Haliclona oculata

, 2009
To obtain more knowledge about carbon requirements for growth by sponges, the growth rate, respiration rate, and clearance rate was measured in situ in Haliclona oculata. We found that only 34% of the particulate carbon pumped through the sponge was used

The Biodiversity of Peter I Island—The Most Remote Island in the World

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
Peter I Island is one of the most isolated and least visited islands on earth; lying within the Antarctic Polar Front but over 420 km from continental Antarctica. Here we assess the biodiversity of the island from both previous records and our own BioBlitz in January 2022.

Phylogenetic classification of the Halichondrids (Porifera, Demospongiae).

Beaufortia, 1990
Using a multicharacter approach and numerical cladistic computer programs a phylogenetic analysis is made of a newly defined order Halichondrida (which includes all Halichondrida and parts of the Axinellida sensu Lévi, 1973), with emphasis on the newly defined family Halichondriidae (which includes the families Halichondriidae and Hymeniacidonidae ...
