Bioprospecting Sponge-Associated Microbes for Antimicrobial Compounds.
Sponges are the most prolific marine organisms with respect to their arsenal of bioactive compounds including antimicrobials. However, the majority of these substances are probably not produced by the sponge itself, but rather by bacteria or fungi that are associated with their host. This review for the first time provides a comprehensive overview of antimicrobial compounds that are known to be...
متن کاملA marine sponge associated strain of Bacillus subtilis and other marine bacteria can produce anticholinesterase compounds
BACKGROUND Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors or anticholinesterases reduce the activity of enzyme acetylcholinesterase that degrades the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the brain. The inhibitors have a significant pharmacological role in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's etc. Although plants have been a significant source of these compounds, there are very few s...
متن کاملMarine Sponge: Natural Reservoir of a Myriad of Bioactive Compounds
Biodiversity in the marine environment exceeds that of the terrestrial environment. But exploration of marine natural products is still in the infant stage. Among the diverse bioactive compounds which are discovered from marine organisms, sponges have been assigned a high priority as they have been accepted as a promising organism for the discovery of pharmacologically active drug leads. Marine...
متن کاملBioactive Compounds from the Red Sea Marine Sponge Hyrtios Species
In continuation of our search for drug leads from Red Sea sponges we have investigated the ethyl acetate fraction of the organic extract of the Red Sea sponge Hyrtios species. Bioassay-directed fractionation of the active fraction resulted into the identification of three new alkaloids, hyrtioerectines D-F (1-3). Hyrtioerectines D-F belong to the rare marine alkaloids in which the indole and β-...
متن کامل16S rRNA phylogeny of sponge-associated cyanobacteria.
Phylogenetic analyses of 16S rRNA sequences of sponge-associated cyanobacteria showed them to be polyphyletic, implying that they derived from multiple independent symbiotic events. Most of the symbiont sequences were affiliated to a group of Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus species. However, other symbionts were related to different groups, such as the Oscillatoriales.
