Novel actinobacteria from marine sponges

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 2005
Actinobacteria 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 ...

[Bioactive compounds from marine sponges and cell culture of marine sponges].

Sheng wu gong cheng xue bao = Chinese journal of biotechnology, 2002
Presented a survey of bioactive compounds discovered from marine sponges in the recent five years, including the classes, distribution and their potential pharmaceutical uses. In particular, the compounds with antitumor, antivirus and antibacteria activity were discussed with their originating marine sponge species.

BluePharmTrain: Biology and Biotechnology of Marine Sponges

2018
BluePharmTrain is a Marie Curie Initial Training Network of 17 European academic and industrial partners collaborating to train young scientists in multidisciplinary aspects of blue biotechnology. Harvesting marine sponges for the extraction of bioactive compounds is often highly unsustainable, and the chemical synthesis of promising compounds is often

NATURAL PRODUCT CHEMISTRY OF THE MARINE SPONGES

Pure and Applied Chemistry, 1976
A systematic search for constituents of marine sponges has yielded over one hundred new compounds, most of them with unique structural features. A broad survey of the field is presented and certain topics, particularly those closely related to recent work done in our own laboratory on sesquiterpenoids, are discussed in more detail.

Potential of sponges and microalgae for marine biotechnology

Trends in Biotechnology, 2008
Marine organisms can be used to produce several novel products that have applications in new medical technologies, in food and feed ingredients and as biofuels. In this paper two examples are described: the development of marine drugs from sponges and the use of microalgae to produce bulk chemicals and biofuels. Many sponges produce bioactive compounds

Ecology of toxicity in marine sponges

Marine Biology, 1977
An investigation of the ecology of toxicity in marine sponges from different latitudes on the North American continent was made. Results indicated that toxicity in sponges increased with decreasing latitude. Three of the 34 species (9%) of sponges from San Juan Island, Washington, USA (48°N), were toxic to fishes.

The functional roles of marine sponges

Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 2008
Despite the wide range of functional roles performed by marine sponges they are still poorly represented in many research, monitoring and conservation programmes. The aim of this review is to examine recent developments in our understanding of sponge functional roles in tropical, temperate and polar ecosystems.

Fatty Acids of Marine Sponges

2015
Among all organisms, thus also marine sponges, accumulate fatty acids (FAs) with a very rich chemistry and are the source of an unprecedented diverse range of chemical structures. This chapter accounts the most recent developments concerning the occurrence of different FA structures in marine sponges and their potential applications.
