Hydrodynamics of sponge pumps and evolution of the sponge body plan

eLife, 2020
Sponges are suspension feeders that filter vast amounts of water. Pumping is carried out by flagellated chambers that are connected to an inhalant and exhalant canal system.

An Innovative IMTA System: Polychaetes, Sponges and Macroalgae Co-Cultured in a Southern Italian In-Shore Mariculture Plant (Ionian Sea)

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
In this paper, we report data from the first year of rearing of a set of filter feeder bioremediator organisms: macrobenthic invertebrates (sabellid polychaetes and sponges), coupled with macroalgae, realized in a mariculture fish farm.

The Study of Methylene Blue Loading into Chitosan-graft-Maleic Sponges

International Journal of Technology, 2022
This work succeeded in synthesizing sponges from chitosan-graft-maleic anhydride. Chitosan and maleic anhydride at a certain mass ratio (1:2, 1:1; and 2:1) were reacted in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) at 60? for 24 hours.
