BluePharmTrain: Biology and Biotechnology of Marine Sponges

2018
BluePharmTrain is a Marie Curie Initial Training Network of 17 European academic and industrial partners collaborating to train young scientists in multidisciplinary aspects of blue biotechnology. Harvesting marine sponges for the extraction of bioactive compounds is often highly unsustainable, and the chemical synthesis of promising compounds is often

Potential of sponges and microalgae for marine biotechnology

Trends in Biotechnology, 2008
Marine organisms can be used to produce several novel products that have applications in new medical technologies, in food and feed ingredients and as biofuels. In this paper two examples are described: the development of marine drugs from sponges and the use of microalgae to produce bulk chemicals and biofuels. Many sponges produce bioactive compounds

Fatty Acids of Marine Sponges

2015
Among all organisms, thus also marine sponges, accumulate fatty acids (FAs) with a very rich chemistry and are the source of an unprecedented diverse range of chemical structures. This chapter accounts the most recent developments concerning the occurrence of different FA structures in marine sponges and their potential applications.

Guanidine alkaloids from marine sponges

Over the past 70 years, marine biodiversity has been recognised as a rich source of unique chemical compounds with wide-ranging applications in the blue bioeconomy. Among marine organisms, sponges have historically been a key focus of marine biodiscovery due to their high potential for yielding novel compounds.

Ecological interactions of marine sponges

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 2006
Sponges interact with most other organisms in marine systems as competitors, symbionts, hosts of symbionts, consumers, and prey. Considerable creative energy has been required to study and describe the amazing variety of sponge interactions, as sponges can hide symbionts deep inside, rapidly regenerate wounds from grazers, carry on important ...

Body structure of marine sponges

Marine Biology, 1983
The flagellated chambers of the marine sponge Reniera sp. (Haplosclerida) are found at the junctions of the incurrent and excurrent canal systems, in the lumens of the incurrent canals. Each is inserted into the pinacocyte lining of the incurrent and excurrent canal systems by means of a cell ring in the apopyle region.
