Growth Efficiency and Carbon Balance for the Sponge Haliclona oculata [PDF]

, 2009
To obtain more knowledge about carbon requirements for growth by sponges, the growth rate, respiration rate, and clearance rate was measured in situ in Haliclona oculata. We found that only 34% of the particulate carbon pumped through the sponge was used

Implications of Sponge Biodiversity Patterns for the Management of a Marine Reserve in Northern Australia.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Marine reserves are becoming progressively more important as anthropogenic impacts continue to increase, but we have little baseline information for most marine environments. In this study, we focus on the Oceanic Shoals Commonwealth Marine Reserve (CMR)

Cell cycle analysis of primary sponge cell cultures [PDF]

, 2011
Proliferation of sponge cells is generally measured via cell counts or viability assays. However, more insight into the proliferative state of a sponge cell population can be obtained from the distribution of the cells over the different phases of the ...

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 ...

Assessing the Diversity and Biomedical Potential of Microbes Associated With the Neptune’s Cup Sponge, Cliona patera

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Marine sponges are known to host a complex microbial consortium that is essential to the health and resilience of these benthic invertebrates. These sponge-associated microbes are also an important source of therapeutic agents.

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 ...

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.,

Temporal dynamics of the bacterial community structure and functions associated with marine sponges collected off Karah Island, Terengganu, Malaysia

The Microbe
The marine sponge microbiome has been investigated for decades, yet its temporal fluctuation/stability is poorly understood. This study aimed to describe the seasonal dynamics of the bacterial composition and predicted functions associated with two ...
