Progress in Modern Marine Biomaterials Research [PDF]

Marine Drugs, 2020
The growing demand for new, sophisticated, multifunctional materials has brought natural structural composites into focus, since they underwent a substantial optimization during long evolutionary selection pressure and adaptation processes.

Novel nanostructured hematite–spongin composite developed using an extreme biomimetic approach

RSC Advances, 2015
The marine sponge Hippospongia communis (Demospongiae: Porifera) is a representative of bath sponges, which possess characteristic mineral-free fibrous skeletons made of a structural protein – spongin.

A spongin-boring alpha-proteobacterium is the etiological agent of disease in the Great Barrier Reef sponge Rhopaloeides odorabile [PDF]

Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2002
High levels of mortality in the Mediterranean bath sponge industry have raised concerns for the future of sponge farms. Healthy sponges feed predominantly on bacteria, and many harbour a wide diversity of inter- and extra-cellular symbiotic bacteria ...

Enigmatic Structural Protein Spongin

, 2019
In the orders Dendroceratida, Verongida and Dictyoceratida, the characteristic for most Demospongiae siliceous skeleton is replaced by proteinaceous, fibrous like spongin skeleton. These spongin fibers can be anastomosed in order to create a network which provides support for skeleton of the sponge’s cell tissues.

Lysobacter spongiae sp. nov., isolated from spongin

Journal of Microbiology, 2018
A Gram-negative, motile, aerobic and rod-shaped bacterial strain designated 119BY6-57T was isolated from spongin. The taxonomic position of the novel isolate was confirmed using the polyphasic approach. Strain 119BY6-57T grew well at 25-30°C on marine agar.

Collagen Fibrils, Spongin, Matrix Substances

, 1984
Collagen fibrillogenesis is a universal process in sponges and in some species represents the secretory process while in others it is overshadowed by mineralization. In some ceractinomorph demosponges, colossal quantities of collagen are elaborated and requirements for precursors are undoubtedly very high. Although a major process, fibrillogenesis is a
