Unusual symbiotic cyanobacteria association in the genetically diverse intertidal marine sponge Hymeniacidon perlevis (Demospongiae, Halichondrida). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Cyanobacteria represent one of the most common members of the sponge-associated bacterial community and are abundant symbionts of coral reef ecosystems. In this study we used Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and molecular techniques (16S rRNA gene ...

Promising antiparasitic agents from marine sponges

Saudi Journal of Biological Sciences, 2022
Parasitic diseases especially those prevail in tropical and subtropical regions severely threaten the lives of people due to available drugs found to be ineffective as several resistant strains have been emerged. Due to the complexity of the marine environment, researchers considered it as a new field to search for compounds with therapeutic efficacy ...

CRISPR/Cas12a-Mediated Gene Editing in Geodia barretti Sponge Cell Culture

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Sponges and their associated microorganisms are the most prolific source of marine natural products, and many attempts have been made at creating a marine sponge cell line to produce these products efficiently. However, limited knowledge on the nutrients

Sponge Fauna of the Apulian Marine Caves (Southern Italy): Current State of Knowledge

Diversity, 2023
Submerged and semi-submerged marine caves are considered a European habitat of Community Interest as they preserve one of the most important biodiversity heritages in the Mediterranean and serve as refugia for endemic and/or “relict” species.

Microbial Diversity of Marine Sponges [PDF]

, 2003
The recent application of molecular microbial ecology tools to sponge-microbe associations has revealed a glimpse into the biodiversity of these microbial communities, that is considered just 'the tip of the iceberg'. This chapter provides an overview over these new findings with regard to identity, diversity and distribution patterns of sponge ...
