Silicon utilization by sponges: an assessment of seasonal changes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Este artículo contiene 13 páginas, 6 figuras, 1 tabla.Awareness that sponges are relevant silicic acid (DSi) users is growing; however, understanding how their DSi consumption kinetics perform is still limited. We investigated the effects that seasonal

Estrus Synchronization and Conception Rates Using Locally Prepared Methylacetoxy- progesterone Sponges in Cyclic and Acyclic Nili-Ravi Buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) [PDF]

open access: yesPakistan Veterinary Journal, 2013
A study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of locally prepared intra-vaginal methylacetoxyprogesterone (MAP) sponges for estrus synchronization and conception rate in cyclic and acyclic Nili-Ravi buffaloes.

Demospongic Acids Revisited

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2010
The well-known fatty acids with a D5,9 unsaturation system were designated for a long period as demospongic acids, taking into account that they originally occurred in marine Demospongia sponges.

Carbon conversion and metabolic rate in two marine sponges

open access: yes, 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%.

The Microbiome and Occurrence of Methanotrophy in Carnivorous Sponges [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
As shown by recent studies, filter-feeding sponges are known to host a wide variety of microorganisms. However, the microbial community of the non-filtering carnivorous sponges (Porifera, Cladorhizidae) has been the subject of less scrutiny.

E. coli Extracellular Matrix: A Tunable Composite With Hierarchical Structure

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
The complex composite‐like mechanical behavior of E. coli biofilm matrix is the result of a synergic contribution of the rigid curli and swelling pEtN‐cellulose, and emerges from specific ratio and assembly conditions. The interactions between the two fibers govern biofilm hydration and characteristic wrinkling patterns, providing crucial insights for ...

Biological activities of aqueous and organic extracts from tropical marine sponges

open access: yes, 2010
We report on screening tests of 66 extracts obtained from 35 marine sponge species from the Caribbean Sea (Curaçao) and from eight species from the Great Barrier Reef (Lizard Island). Extracts were prepared in aqueous and organic solvents and were tested
