RNA interference in marine and freshwater sponges [PDF]

, 2011
Background: The marine sponge Tethya wilhelma and the freshwater sponge Ephydatia muelleri are emerging model organisms to study evolution, gene regulation, development, and physiology in non-bilaterian animal systems. Thus far, functional methods (i.e.,

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.

The Chemistry of Marine Sponges∗

, 2012
Marine sponges continue to attract wide attention from marine natural product chemists and pharmacologists alike due to their remarkable diversity of bioactive compounds. Since the early days of marine natural products research in the 1960s, sponges have notoriously yielded the largest number of new metabolites reported per year compared to any other ...
