Characterization of a culturable alphaproteobacterial symbiont common to many marine sponges and evidence for vertical transmission via sponge larvae.
A closely related group of alphaproteobacteria were found to be present in seven genera of marine sponges from several locations and were shown to be transferred between sponge generations through the larvae in one of these sponges. Isolates of the alphaproteobacterium were cultured from the sponges Axinella corrugata, Mycale laxissima, Monanchora unguifera, and Niphates digitalis from Key Larg...
متن کاملAntimicrobial activities of semi polar-nonpolar and polar secondary metabolites of sponge Dysidea pallescens from Hengam Island, Persian Gulf
Sponges are the simplest multicellular animals that lack defense mechanisms and rely on chemical defense that have been used by mankind to develop antimicrobial drugs against diseases. The present study was designed to demonstrate the antibacterial and antifungal activities of marine sponge Dysidea pallescens semipolar and nonpolar extracts. In this study, D. pallescens were collected from He...
متن کاملNew fatty acids from Colombian Caribbean Sea sponges
The fatty acid composition of whole phospholipids from marine sponges collected from the Colombian Caribbean Sea was determined as part of our studies on the order Halichondrida: Halichondria magniconulosa, Halichondria lutea, Petromica ciocalyptoides, Axinyssa ambrosia, Didiscus oxeata and Dragmaxia undata. Structure elucidation was accomplished by means of gas chromatography retention paramet...
متن کاملHaliscosamine: a new antifungal sphingosine derivative from the Moroccan marine sponge Haliclona viscosa
In the aim of searching for new antifungal products from marine origin, we have isolated a sphingosine derivative, (9Z)-2-amino-docos-9-ene-1,3,13,14-tetraol (Haliscosamine) from the Moroccan sea sponge Haliclona viscosa using bio-guided (antifungal) HPLC methods. The molecular structure of this compound was elucidated by spectrometric techniques IR, UV, MS and NMR. The isolated metabolite show...
متن کاملAnti-Mycobacterium Metabolite from Marine Sponge Iricinia fusca
Chemical investigation of the marine sponge Ircinia fusca leads to isolation of a new pyrrole derivative (1) and two known compounds namely, 3 methyl decanoic acid (2) and Benzenedicarboxylic acid (3). The structures of compounds were established by 1D and 2D NMR and MS data. Compound 1 exhibited strong antibacterial activity against Mycobacterium smegmatis at MIC 116 μM. Compounds 1-3 showed n...
