Antiviral Lead Compounds from Marine Sponges [PDF]

Marine Drugs, 2010
Marine sponges are currently one of the richest sources of pharmacologically active compounds found in the marine environment. These bioactive molecules are often secondary metabolites, whose main function is to enable and/or modulate cellular communication and defense.

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 ...

Pyrosequencing of bacterial symbionts within Axinella corrugata sponges: diversity and seasonal variability. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: Marine sponge species are of significant interest to many scientific fields including marine ecology, conservation biology, genetics, host-microbe symbiosis and pharmacology. One of the most intriguing aspects of the sponge "holobiont" system

Marine sponge aquaculture towards drug development: An ongoing history of technical, ecological, chemical considerations and challenges

Aquaculture Reports, 2021
Marine sponges have a long history of farming, starting with bath sponges over 5000 years ago in the Mediterranean. Many species have since been found appropriate for distinct types of commercial assessment.

No compromise between metabolism and behavior of decorator crabs in reduced pH conditions. [PDF]

, 2019
Many marine calcifiers experience metabolic costs when exposed to experimental ocean acidification conditions, potentially limiting the energy available to support regulatory processes and behaviors. Decorator crabs expend energy on decoration camouflage

The unique and enigmatic spirochete symbiont of latrunculid sponges

mSphere
Bacterial symbionts are critical members of many marine sponge holobionts. Some sponge-associated bacterial lineages, such as Poribacteria, sponge-associated unclassified lineage (SAUL), and Tethybacterales, appear to have broad-host ranges and associate

Biodegradable and Recyclable Luminescent Mixed‐Matrix‐Membranes, Hydrogels, and Cryogels based on Nanoscale Metal‐Organic Frameworks and Biopolymers

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The study presents biodegradable and recyclable mixed‐matrix membranes (MMMs), hydrogels, and cryogels using luminescent nanoscale metal‐organic frameworks (nMOFs) and biopolymers. These bio‐nMOF‐MMMs combine europium‐based nMOFs as probes for the status of the materials with the biopolymers agar and gelatine and present alternatives to conventional ...
