Anti-Fouling Effects of Saponin-Containing Crude Extracts from Tropical Indo-Pacific Sea Cucumbers
Marine Drugs, 2020 Sea cucumbers are bottom dwelling invertebrates, which are mostly found on subtropical and tropical sea grass beds, sandy reef flats, or reef slopes. Although constantly exposed to fouling communities in these habitats, many species are surprisingly free

Genomic Characterization of a Novel Tenericutes Bacterium from Deep-Sea Holothurian Intestine
Microorganisms, 2020 Intestinal bacterial communities are highly relevant to the digestion, nutrition, growth, reproduction, and immunity of animals, but little is known about the composition and function of intestinal microbiota in deep-sea invertebrates. In this study, the

Antibiotics Modulate Intestinal Regeneration
Biology, 2021 The increased antibiotics usage in biomedical and agricultural settings has been well documented. Antibiotics have now been shown to exert effects outside their purposive use, including effects on physiological and developmental processes.

Novel Circular Single-Stranded DNA Viruses among an Asteroid, Echinoid and Holothurian (Phylum: Echinodermata). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Echinoderms are prone to large population fluctuations that can be mediated by pervasive disease events. For the majority of echinoderm disease events the causative pathogen is unknown.

Sea cucumbers reduce chromophoric dissolved organic matter in aquaculture tanks [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Background Mono-specific aquaculture effluents contain high concentrations of nutrients and organic matter, which affect negatively the water quality of the recipient ecosystems. A fundamental feature of water quality is its transparency. The fraction of

Proteases from the regenerating gut of the holothurian Eupentacta fraudatrix. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Four proteases with molecular masses of 132, 58, 53, and 47 kDa were detected in the digestive system of the holothurian Eupentacta fraudatrix. These proteases displayed the gelatinase activity and characteristics of zinc metalloproteinases.
