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 ...

Recovering Historical eDNA From Museum‐Preserved Filter Feeders via Non‐Destructive Metabarcoding
Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.ABSTRACT Recent technical advances have significantly enhanced the value of museum specimens for molecular research, with metagenomic and metabarcoding approaches expanding further the utility of museum collections. However, given the finite number of specimens, there is a critical need to move past destructive DNA extraction approaches and to explore ...
