SDERR protein, Suberites domuncula

Aims:  To evaluate the diversity and antimicrobial activity of bacteria from the marine sponges Suberites carnosus and… Expand

The siliceous spicules of sponges (Porifera) are synthesized by the enzyme silicatein. This protein and its gene have been… Expand

The siliceous skeleton of demosponges is constructed of spicules. We have studied the formation of spicules in primmorphs from… Expand

Sponges (phylum Porifera) are the phylogenetically oldest metazoa; as filter feeders, they are abundantly exposed to marine… Expand

Abstract Sponges [Porifera] are the phylogenetically oldest metazoan phylum still extant today; they share the closest… Expand

Porifera (sponge) form the lowest metazoan phylum and share a common ancestor with other metazoan phyla. In the present study, it… Expand

Sponges (phylum Porifera) represent the phylogenetically oldest metazoan animals. Recently, from the marine sponge Geodia… Expand

Very recently, Porifera (sponges) have been proven to be suitable model systems to study auto- and allograft recognition at the… Expand

Sponges (Porifera) represent the lowest metazoan phylum, characterized by a pronounced plasticity in the determination of cell… Expand

The phylum Porifera (sponges) was the first to diverge from the common ancestor of the Metazoa. In this study, six cDNAs coding… Expand
