The spread of non‐native species

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

Host-specificity among abundant and rare taxa in the sponge microbiome. [PDF]

ISME J, 2014
Abstract Microbial communities have a key role in the physiology of the sponge host, and it is therefore essential to understand the stability and specificity of sponge–symbiont associations. Host-specific bacterial associations spanning large geographic distance are widely acknowledged in sponges.

Egg yolk hydrolysate shows moderate impact on osteoporosis in ovariectomized rats

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND This study investigated the protective effect of egg yolk hydrolysate (FC) on osteoporosis in ovariectomized (OVX) rats, a well‐established model of postmenopausal bone loss. OVX rats were fed diets supplemented with 0.2% or 1% FC for 13 weeks.

Testing the relationship between microbiome composition and flux of carbon and nutrients in Caribbean coral reef sponges

Microbiome, 2019
Background Sponges are important suspension-feeding members of reef communities, with the collective capacity to overturn the entire water column on shallow Caribbean reefs every day.

Limited Metabolomic Overlap between Commensal Bacteria and Marine Sponge Holobionts Revealed by Large Scale Culturing and Mass Spectrometry-Based Metabolomics: An Undergraduate Laboratory Pedagogical Effort at Georgia Tech

Marine Drugs, 2023
Sponges are the richest source of bioactive organic small molecules, referred to as natural products, in the marine environment. It is well established that laboratory culturing-resistant symbiotic bacteria residing within the eukaryotic sponge host ...

Nano Delivery Strategy Opens Effective Avenues for the Treatment of Colorectal Cancer

Medicine Bulletin, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Colorectal cancer (CRC) presents significant therapeutic challenges because of chemoresistance, systemic toxicity, and the complexity of the tumor microenvironment (TME). Nanodrug delivery systems (NDDS) have emerged as versatile platforms capable of overcoming these limitations by enhancing tumor accumulation, improving pharmacokinetics, and ...

Microbiome analysis and confocal microscopy of used kitchen sponges reveal massive colonization by Acinetobacter, Moraxella and Chryseobacterium species

Scientific Reports, 2017
The built environment (BE) and in particular kitchen environments harbor a remarkable microbial diversity, including pathogens. We analyzed the bacterial microbiome of used kitchen sponges by 454–pyrosequencing of 16S rRNA genes and fluorescence in situ ...

Ontogenetic changes in the bacterial symbiont community of the tropical demosponge Amphimedon queenslandica: metamorphosis is a new beginning

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2016
Vertical transmission of bacterial symbionts, which is known in many species of sponge (Porifera), is expected to promote strong fidelity between the partners.
