Aquimarina spongiicola sp. nov., isolated from spongin
International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2018 A Gram-reaction-negative, aerobic, motile by gliding, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated 122CH820-2T, was isolated from spongin. This bacterium was characterized to determine its taxonomic position by using a polyphasic approach. Strain 122CH820-2T grew well at 25-30 °C on marine agar.

Collagen IV and basement membrane at the evolutionary dawn of metazoan tissues
eLife, 2017 The role of the cellular microenvironment in enabling metazoan tissue genesis remains obscure. Ctenophora has recently emerged as one of the earliest-branching extant animal phyla, providing a unique opportunity to explore the evolutionary role of the ...

Influence of the incorporation of marine spongin into a Biosilicate®: an in vitro study
Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Medicine, 2019 The combination of different biomaterials can be a promising intervention for the composites manufacture, mainly by adding functional and structural characteristics of each material and guarantee the advantages of the use of these composites. In this context, the aim of this study was to develop and evaluated the influence of the incorporation of ...

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2023 Abstract Photosensitization, a powerful oxidation reaction, offers significant potential for wastewater treatment in the context of industrial process water reuse. This environmentally friendly process can be crucial in reducing water consumption and industrial pollution. The ultimate goal is to complete process water reuse, creating a closed-

Rethinking Plasticity in Sponges
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 346, Issue 6, Page 431-446, September 2026.This systematic review critiques the conceptual confusion caused by the indiscriminate use of “plasticity” in Porifera literature, revealing that researchers often overlook genetic variability and fail to distinguish between real‐time environmental responses and natural selection.
