Producing drugs from marine sponges
Biotechnology Advances, 2003Marine sponges are potential sources of many unique metabolites, including cytotoxic and anticancer compounds. Natural sponge populations are insufficient or inaccessible for producing commercial quantities of metabolites of interest. This review focuses on methods of producing sponge biomass to overcome supply limitations.

The sponge is one of the oldest multicellular invertebrates in the world. Because of its special pore canal structure and characteristics of filter feeding, a large amount of microorganisms adhere to it. After hundreds of thousands of years’ evolution, they form a kind of symbiosis relationship.

Novel actinobacteria from marine sponges
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 2005Actinobacteria exclusively within the sub-class Acidimicrobidae were shown by 16S rDNA community analysis to be major components of the bacterial community associated with two sponge species in the genus Xestospongia. Four groups of Actinobacteria were identified in Xestospongia spp., with three of these four groups being found in both Xestospongia ...

Sponges are the most primitive of multicellular animals, and are major pharmaceutical sources of marine secondary metabolites. A wide variety of new compounds have been isolated from sponges. In order to produce sufficient amounts of the compounds of the needed, it is necessary to obtain large amount of sponges.

Biochemical Systematics and Ecology, 1982
Abstract The 42 identified carotenoids isolated from 36 different marine spontes may, from structural considerations, be divided into four groups; (a) native phytoplankton-type carotenoids; (b) intact carotenoids of possible zooplankton origin, 9c) intact carotenoids of probable bacterial of fungal origin; and (d) sponge metabolized carotenoids ...

Antimicrobial Activity of some Marine Sponges
Nature, 1969THE evaluation of marine plants and animals for potential use in chemotherapy poses problems of procurement of materials and of techniques of screening for significant drug activity1. We have been studying antimicrobial activity in marine sponges both from the viewpoint of marine ecology and in an effort to develop new drugs, and report on our methods ...

Marine Sponge-Associated Microbes
2012Since the first exploration of the marine environment for natural compounds in 1945 by Werner Bergmann, marine sponges have been considered the most prolific and important source of new bioactive compounds in the marine environment. Because of their immense production of new compounds, sponges are considered a chemical factory in the marine environment

Neuroprotective Activities of Marine Natural Products from Marine Sponges
Current Medicinal Chemistry, 2016This review covers the compounds isolated from marine sponges with neuroprotective activities during the period between 1999 and 2014 based on their chemical structures, collections sites, sponge taxonomy and neuroprotective effects. These compounds were isolated from marine sponges collected from 18 countries, most of them in Indonesia, followed by ...
