Assessing calcareous sponges and their associated bacteria for the discovery of new bioactive natural products
Abstract
Covering: 1976 to 2011
An overview of the chemistry and microbiology of calcareous sponges (Calcispongiae) is provided, highlighting the potential of these sessile filter-feeding marine invertebrates and their associated bacteria for the discovery of new bioactive natural products. 103 compounds are presented and 116 references cited.
