Girolline, a compound extracted from the sea sponge Pseudaxinyssa cantharella, has been investigated for possible antitumor effects and also found to have anti-malarial effects. Now, researchers have ...
On the other side of the spectrum are animals with extraordinarily long lives. One example of this is a sponge belonging to the species Monorhaphis chuni. While many people mistake sponges for ...
In situ field measurements of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) release by sponges in southwestern Australia revealed nitrate release rates of 0.022 to 0.743 μmol g dry weight−1 (dry wt) h−1 and ...
A specialized sponge absorbs pollutants and releases them for reuse—paving the way for cleaner waterways and resource ...
A soft, porous fruit-shaped sponge gently dips into vibrant orange-colored water, soaking up the liquid and transforming in ...
There is growing awareness that to improve the understanding of the biological control of silicon (Si) cycling in the oceans, the biogeochemical models need to incorporate Si users other than diatoms.
In marine sponges, this process is facilitated by specialized proteins known as silicateins, which play a crucial role in the formation of silica-based structures. Recent research has focused on ...
Girolline, a compound extracted from the sea sponge Pseudaxinyssa cantharella, has been investigated for possible antitumor effects and also found to have anti-malarial effects. Now, thanks to ...
