Carbon conversion and metabolic rate in two marine sponges [PDF]

, 2010
The carbon metabolism of two marine sponges, Haliclona oculata and Dysidea avara, has been studied using a 13C isotope pulse-chase approach. The sponges were fed 13C-labeled diatoms (Skeletonema costatum) for 8 h and they took up between 75 and 85%.

Freshwater Sponge Tubella variabilis Presents Richer Microbiota Than Marine Sponge Species

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Sponges can host diverse and abundant communities of microorganisms, which constitute an interesting source of bioactive compounds. Thus, to broaden our knowledge about the diversity of the microbiota that is found in freshwater sponges, the microbial ...

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 ...

Studies of chemical distribution and pharmacological activities of porifera-derived alkaloids: A review (2000–2023)

European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry Reports
This review explores the non-random distribution of chemical novelty among marine invertebrate phyla, with a particular focus on Porifera (sponges), which have exhibited the highest average count of novel natural products per species since 1990. Sponges,

Characterization of Bacterial, Archaeal and Eukaryote Symbionts from Antarctic Sponges Reveals a High Diversity at a Three-Domain Level and a Particular Signature for This Ecosystem.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Sponge-associated microbial communities include members from the three domains of life. In the case of bacteria, they are diverse, host specific and different from the surrounding seawater.
