Synthesis of Desepoxy‐Tedanolide C
The total synthesis of one isomer of the marine natural product tedanolide C was accomplished and provides evidence about the relative configuration of this member of the tedanolide family. The synthesis takes advantage of a variant of the Kiyooka aldol protocol for the stereoselective synthesis of the tertiary alcohol flanked by three additional ...

Assessing the complex sponge microbiota: core, variable and species-specific bacterial communities in marine sponges [PDF]
Marine sponges are well known for their associations with highly diverse, yet very specific and often highly similar microbiota. The aim of this study was to identify potential bacterial sub-populations in relation to sponge phylogeny and sampling sites ...

The HMA-LMA dichotomy revisited: an electronmicroscopical survey of 56 sponge species [PDF]
The dichotomy between high microbial abundance (HMA) and low microbial abundance (LMA) sponges has been long recognized. In the present study, 56 sponge species from three geographic regions (greater Caribbean, Mediterranean, Red Sea) were investigated ...

MORPHOLOGICAL AND CHEMICAL CAMOUFLAGE OF THE MEDITERRANEAN NUDIBRANCH DISCODORIS INDECORA ON THE SPONGES IRCINIA VARIABILIS AND IRCINIA FASCICULATA [PDF]
The nudibranch Discodoris indecora shows a perfect camouflage on its prey, the dictyoceratid sponge Ircinia variabilis. Shape and colour of the nudibranch are remarkably similar to that of the sponge which is widespread in the shallow waters of the Mediterranean Sea. The metabolite pattern of /.
