Investigations of the Evolved Molecular Basis for Terpenoid Biosynthesis in Marine Sponges. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
Confirming and extending a previous observation in another Bubarida sponge, genomic and functional analyses of A. cavernosa reveal that sponges retain the mevalonate pathway and employ single α‐domain T1TSs and UbiA‐type TSs for terpenoid biosynthesis. The absence of T1TSs clustering with other biosynthetic genes tentatively suggests, based on limited ...

Biological activities of ethanolic extracts from deep-sea antarctic marine sponges [PDF]

, 2013
We report on the screening of ethanolic extracts from 33 deep-sea Antarctic marine sponges for different biological activities. We monitored hemolysis, inhibition of acetylcholinesterase, cytotoxicity towards normal and transformed cells and growth ...

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.,

Cytotoxic activity of marine sponge extracts from the sub-Antarctic Islands and the Southern Ocean

South African Journal of Science, 2016
Over the past 50 years, marine invertebrates, especially sponges, have proven to be a valuable source of new and/or bioactive natural products that have the potential to be further developed as lead compounds for pharmaceutical applications.
