Full textAbstract:
The distribution and biometry of commercial sponges (Porifera) in coastal areas of the central and southeastern Aegean Sea was investigated to estimate the recovery progress of the populations eight years after the first appearance of sponge disease. Signs of the disease were detected only in 1.6% of the harvested sponges. Multivariate analysis on the percentage abundance of sponges showed two distinct groups among the sixteen fishing grounds studied: the eight deep (50-110 m) and the eight shallow ones (<40 m). The group from the deep depths consisted of Spongia officinalis adriatica, S. agaricina and S. zimocca. The infralittoral zone was characterized by the presence of Hippospongia communis, S. officinalis adriatica and S. officinalis mollissima. These bath sponges showed an enhanced abundance in the eastern Cretan Sea (S. Aegean Sea). In addition, their dimensions, particularly height, increased with increasing depth. It is indicated that the hydrographic conditions prevailing in the eastern Cretan Sea affected the repopulating processes of sponge banks. In each species, the biometric characteristics of the experimental specimens were similar to those of the sponges found in the market and harvested at respective depths prior to the appearance of sponge disease.

Full textAbstract:
Currently, more than 8,500 valid sponge species are reported in the World Porifera Database (http://www.marinespecies.org/porifera/) (van Soest et al. 2018). The Mediterranean Sea sponge fauna, counting almost 700 species, is one of the best documented in the world (Pronzato 2003; Pansini et al. 2011; van Soest et al. 2018) but the eastern part of the basin is by far less studied, in comparison with other Mediterranean areas (Pansini et al. 2000; Voultsiadou & Vafidis 2004; Topaloğlu & Evcen 2014). A small number of species, mainly belonging to the cosmopolitan genus Spongia (Dictyoceratida), are commonly used as bath sponges. Aim of this work is to provide further information on Cyprus Island sponges in general and on species that had commercial importance in the past.

Pseudomonas (formerly Flavimonas)oryzihabitans is an uncommon pathogen that may cause catheter-associated infections. Although it has occasionally been isolated from the environment, the source of human infection has not previously been documented. We describe an AIDS patient who developedPseudomonas oryzihabitans bacteremia due to colonization of a Hickman catheter. The patient reported having strictly followed the recommendations for catheter hygiene. The only flaw detected was the use of a synthetic bath sponge in the shower. The sponge was cultured and yielded P. oryzihabitans among other nonfermentative, gram-negative bacilli. To determine the prevalence of P. oryzihabitans in sponges, we cultured 15 samples from unrelated households. The microorganism was isolated from 3 of the 15 samples. Molecular typing by arbitrarily primed PCR (AP-PCR) was performed with the environmental and clinical isolates. Three different profiles were obtained for the six isolates analyzed from the patient's sponge. The strain from the AIDS patient was identical to one of those from his sponge and was different from all the remaining strains. The AP-PCR typing results were subsequently confirmed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. It can be concluded that sponges are occasionally colonized by P. oryzihabitans. For the first time a probable source of an indwelling catheter contamination with this bacterium has been found. Patients carrying these devices should avoid using sponge-like materials, as these are suitable environments for nonfermentative, gram-negative bacilli.

Background Nosocomial infections are a marked burden on the US health care system and are linked to a high number of patient deaths. Objective To identify and quantify bacteria in patients’ bath basins and evaluate the basins as a possible reservoir for bacterial colonization and a risk factor for subsequent hospital-acquired infection. Methods In a prospective study at 3 acute care hospitals, 92 bath basins, including basins from 3 intensive care units, were evaluated. Sterile culture sponges were used to obtain samples from the basins. The culture sponges were sent to an outside laboratory, and qualitative and quantitative microbial tests were conducted and the results reported. Results Some form of bacteria grew in 98% of the samples (90 sponges), either by plating or on enrichment (95% confidence interval, 92%–99.7%). The organisms with the highest positive rates of growth on enrichment were enterococci (54%), gram-negative organisms (32%), Staphylococcus aureus (23%), vancomycin-resistant enterococci (13%), methicillin-resistant S aureus (8%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (5%), Candida albicans (3%), and Escherichia coli (2%). Mean plate counts, in colony-forming units, were 10 187 for gram-negative organisms, 99 for E coli, 30 for P aeruginosa, 86 for S aureus, 207 for enterococci, and 31 for vancomycin-resistant enterococci. Conclusions Bath basins are a reservoir for bacteria and may be a source of transmission of hospital-acquired infections. Increased awareness of bath basins as a possible source of transmission of hospital-acquired infections is needed, particularly for high-risk patients.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper, effective separation of oil from both immiscible oil–water mixtures and oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions are achieved by using poly(dimethylsiloxane)-based (PDMS-based) composite sponges. A modified hard template method using citric acid monohydrate as the hard template and dissolving it in ethanol is proposed to prepare PDMS sponge composited with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) both in the matrix and the surface. The introduction of CNTs endows the composite sponge with enhanced comprehensive properties including hydrophobicity, absorption capacity, and mechanical strength than the pure PDMS. We demonstrate the successful application of CNT-PDMS composite in efficient removal of oil from immiscible oil–water mixtures within not only a bath absorption, but also continuous separation for both static and turbulent flow conditions. This notable characteristic of the CNT-PDMS sponge enables it as a potential candidate for large-scale industrial oil–water separation. Furthermore, a polydopamine (PDA) modified CNT-PDMS is developed here, which firstly realizes the separation of O/W emulsion without continuous squeezing of the sponge. The combined superhydrophilic and superoleophilic property of PDA/CNT-PDMS is assumed to be critical in the spontaneously demulsification process.

Full textAbstract:
Uncontrolled bleeding is the main cause of mortality from trauma. Collagen has been developed as an important hemostatic material due to its platelet affinity function. A bath sponge skeleton is rich in collagen, also known as spongin. To understand the hemostatic effect of spongin, spongin materials, SX, SFM and SR were prepared from the bath sponge Spongia officinalis, and hemostatic experiments were performed. The SX, SFM and SR were significantly better than the positive control, type I collagen, in shortening the whole blood clotting time in vitro and hemostasis upon rat tail amputation. In a hemostatic experiment of rabbit common carotid artery injury, the hemostatic time and 3 h survival rate of the SFM group were 3.00 ± 1.53 min and 100%, respectively, which are significantly better than those of the commercial hemostat CELOX-A (10.33 ± 1.37 min and 67%, respectively). Additionally, the SFM showed good coagulation effects in platelet-deficient blood and defibrinated blood, while also showing good biocompatibility. Through a variety of tests, we speculated that the hemostatic activity of the SFM is mainly caused by its hyperabsorbency, high affinity to platelets and high effective concentration. Overall, the SFM and spongin derivates could be potential hemostatic agents for uncontrolled bleeding and hemorrhagic diseases caused by deficiency or dysfunction of coagulation factors.

Full textAbstract:
Although slow freezing is the method of choice to cryopreserve in vivo-produced ovine embryos, vitrification has became an alternative procedure mostly developed for in vitro-produced bovine embryos. The aim of this work was to compare pregnancy rates after cryopreservation of in vivo-produced ovine embryos with slow freezing or open pulled straw (OPS) vitrification method. Ewes were synchronized using intravaginal sponges containing 60 mg of medroxyprogesterone acetate for 14 d. Superovulation was performed using a total dose of 176 IU of ovine FSH (Ovagen), in 6 decreasing doses (i.m.) from Day 12 to 14 of treatment (Day 0 = sponge placing). Ewes were hand mated with 2 rams of proven fertility. Embryos were recovered 6 days after estrous detection by surgical procedure, evaluated under stereomicroscope, and randomly assigned to the cryopreservation treatments. Slow freezing was performed in D-PBS supplemented with 1.78 M ethylene glycol, 0.1 M sucrose, 4 mg mL-1 of BSA, and 20% serum. Embryos were loaded into 0.25-mL plastic straws and placed into a -7°C methanol bath chamber. After seeding embryos were cooled to -35°C at a rate of 0.5°C/min and then stored in liquid nitrogen. Thawing was performed by placing the straws in a 30°C water bath for 30 sec. Vitrification was performed by using the OPS method (Vajta et al. 1998) with minor modifications. Embryos were incubated in D-PBS supplemented with 1.78 M ethylene glycol, 1.3 M DMSO for 3 min and then transferred for 25 s in vitrification solution of D-PBS with 3.56 M ethylene glycol, 2.6 M DMSO, and 0.5 M sucrose, loaded in a 1 mL drop in the OPS, and immediately submerged into and stored in liquid nitrogen. Warming was performed in D-PBS plus 0.25 M sucrose for 5 min and then into D-PBS plus 0.15 M sucrose for another 5 min. Before embryo transfer, the presence of corpus luteum (CL) was detected by laparoscopic examination. One embryo per recipient was surgically transferred in the apical extreme of the uterine horn ipsilateral to the CL. Pregnancies were determined by ultrasonography 41 days after embryo transfer. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test. We found 47.8% pregnancy rate using slow freezing (11/23) and 43.5% pregnancy rate using OPS vitrification (10/23). Statistical differences were not detected (P = 0.09). We conclude that vitrification by OPS system, with minor modifications, is a suitable procedure for in vivo-produced ovine embryo cryopreservation.

Full textAbstract:
La pêche aux petits métiers en Méditerranée est une activité ancienne, fermement ancrée dans la culture de cet espace maritime. La pêche des éponges est pratiquée en Méditerranée depuis l’Antiquité. À l’origine d’un marché d’exportation important jusqu’à la moitié du XXe s., cette pêche a récemment montré des signes d’essoufflement ayant conduit à un effondrement de la production globale. Cette étude proposait une approche interdisciplinaire appliquée à plus de deux siècles d’histoire de cette pêche. La première partie de cette étude présente une approche spatialisée à l’échelle de la Méditerranée, prenant en compte plusieurs périodes clés afin d’identifier les secteurs ayant subi de grands changements. Une seconde partie analyse les variations de production d’éponges et de l’effort de pêche dans l’espace Égéen et en Tunisie. La troisième partie est consacrée à une analyse des choix adaptatifs des pêcheurs face aux changements qui ont bouleversé leur activité. L’étude établit que jusqu’à la décennie 1970, les facteurs qui ont principalement influencé cette pêche sont la demande sociétale, la précarité des communautés de pêcheurs, les changements d’usages ainsi que les relations socio-politiques et économiques des pays méditerranéens. Depuis 1986, des épizooties fréquentes en lien avec des changements de régimes thermiques ont affaibli les stocks. Les pêcheurs qui ont perduré se sont adaptés à cette ressource irrégulièrement disponible en ciblant d’autres espèces, ou en s’appuyant d’avantage sur d’autres pratiques de pêche déjà existantesIn the Mediterranean Sea, small scale fisheries are firmly anchored in the culture of this maritime area. Sponge fishing has been practiced in the Mediterranean since antiquity. Although contributing to an important exportation market until the mid-20th century, it has recently shown signs of weakness, leading to the collapse of the overall production. This study proposed an interdisciplinary approach applied to over two centuries of sponge fishing history. The first part of this study presents a spatial analysis of the fishery at the Mediterranean scale, considering several key periods in order to identify geographical areas where important changes have occurred. The second part analyses the sponge production and the fishing effort variations in the Aegean area and in Tunisia. The last part of this work is dedicated to an analysis of the fishermen’s adaptive choices faced to the sponge fishing activity upheavals. The study shows that up to the 1970s the factors that influenced this fishery were mainly the societal demand, the fragile economic situation of the fishing communities, changes in uses, as well as the socio-political and economic relationships between Mediterranean countries. Since 1986, frequent epizootic events related to changes in thermal regimes have weakened the sponge stocks. Remaining fishermen have mainly adapted to the irregular availability of the resource by targeting other species, or by relying more on other already existing fishing activities

Larval recruitment is influenced by intrinsic biological traits (e.g. swimming behavior) and environmental factors. In this study, I examined the effects of environmental factors (e.g. light, temperature, salinity and pH) on the development of an intertidal keratose sponge from Peng-hu. The experiments included species identification, the observation of larval development, effects of environmental factors on larval choice and development. Based on morphological characters and the mitochondrial COI (cytochrome c oxidase subunit I) gene, the sponge is identified as Spongia ceylonensis which is viviparous. Sponge larva is a typical lecithotrophic, tufted parenchymella, about 500 μm long and ovoid in shape. The mean swimming speed was 3.9 ± 0.6 sec/cm. Under natural light condition (3500 – 6500 lux), planktonic stage was 5-6 hours. In the vertical dark/light choice experiments, larvae exhibited a negative phototaxis with larvae distributed in dark areas in all treatments except the light-treated group. A significant shorter time period for metamorphosis in the light-treated group than all other groups (all dark, upper-half dark and lower-half dark) (p < 0.0001) had been observed. Under various light gradients of single light source, i.e. fluorescent, non-UV, UVA, UVB or UVC light, larvae preferred in the darkest area. Under various light sources (fluorescent, non-UV, UVA, UVB and UVC lights) with the same intensity (220 ± 10 lux), there was no significant differences (p > 0.05) in the distribution of larvae. In all, larvae had strong dark preference and no preference on different light sources. Under various environmental gradients of each experimental factor (i.e. pH 6.5 – 9.0; temperature: 20 – 40℃; silica: 0.5 – 20.5 mg/L) in all light or all dark conditions, larvae showed no significant preference (p > 0.05). In salinities of 5, 15, 25 and 45 psu, some larvae had abnormal development as ball formation or dead. At pH 8.0 and 8.2, sponge juveniles developed better than the groups of pH 7.0、7.5、8.5 and 9.0. In addition, there was no significant difference in larval development (p > 0.05) under various silica concentrations (i.e. SiO2 0、2.5、5.0、7.5、10.0 mg/L).

Full textAbstract:
With increased demand on sponges for cosmetic and biomedical purposes, natural sponge fishing grounds are no longer able to cope with the demand. With sufficient research and development, sponge aquaculture is likely to supply demand while allowing the preservation of natural sponge stocks. However, due to the array of different environmental conditions found amongst the habitats of different species, and differences amongst the species themselves, detailed research on the amenability to common culture methods, survival and growth rates, recovery processes, and the environmental requirements for any one species is required before commercial culture may be considered. Furthermore, due to the diverse morphological variation that occurs in sponges due to the environment, quantitative quality testing protocols must be established to experimentally determine the optimal environmental conditions required for production of quality bath sponges. In this study, survival (in situ and in vitro), growth rates (in situ), and recovery processes (in vitro) were measured for two potential sponge aquaculture candidates, Rhopaloeides odorabile Thompson et al (1987) and Coscinoderma n. sp. [Phylum Porifera: Order Dictyoceratida Minchin (1900): Family Spongiidae Gray (1867)], cultured at the Palm Islands, central Great Barrier Reef. Sponge survival was dependent on species, culture method, and time with the highest mortality occurring soon after excision of sponge material from the parent stock. R. odorabile had the greatest survival of the two species in vitro, and the lowest survival in situ. Growth rates of 85.9 ± 23.7% and 115.2 ± 23.4% per annum, for R. odorabile and Coscinoderma n. sp. respectively, were not significantly different over the 21 month experimental period. Both species demonstrated initial size dependent growth rates with smaller explants growing fastest through the first season (78 days). Explant recovery rates were rapid for both species with a protective layer of collagen forming over the surface within 24hrs. This layer was later replaced by pinacoderm as the subsurface tissue was reorganised to recreate a functional surface including redevelopment of the aquiferous system. A quantitative testing protocol was developed to assess the quality of sponges using mechanical engineering techniques. Techniques quantified the directly measurable physical properties of sponges (density, fibre width, and fibre length) and the quality characteristics of firmness, compression modulus, compressive strength, tensile strength, elastic limit, elastic strain, modulus of elasticity, modulus of resilience, absorbency, and water retention efficiency. These were measured for R. odorabile and Coscinoderma n. sp. and three commercial species. There were significant differences between species for all quality parameters creating a unique profile for each species. R. odorabile was the firmest (37.8 ± 4.3kPa), strongest (157.4 ± 17.3kPa), and most rigid (838.7 ± 53.5kPa) species tested, while Coscinoderma n. sp. was one of the softest sponges (7.3 ± 1.1kPa) with the highest elastic energy (30.5 ± 3.5kJ/m3) and water retention efficiency (40.1 ± 1.4%) of all species tested. These quality tests enable comparisons of quality between and within species with scientific rigour. Comparisons between species may be used as a marketing tool to promote aquaculture products for specific applications. Within species testing will allow quantification of differences in quality caused by genetic or environmental factors. This research provides a foundation for the further research necessary to establish sponge aquaculture in Australia.

Full textAbstract:
Alexandrium tamarense is a harmful algal species that can produce saxitoxins, a suite of powerful neurotoxins that bioaccumulate up the food chain and can have severe economic and health impacts. With harmful algal blooms increasing temporally and spatially, it is important for us to understand the relationship between harmful algal blooms and nutrients, particularly nitrogen from anthropogenic sources. To this end, the stable nitrogen isotopic composition (δ¹⁵N) of medium nitrate, algal cells and toxin in both nitrogen-replete and nitrogen-limited batch cultures of A. tamarense were measured in order to assess the potential for using the δ¹⁵N of the toxin as a tracer of the nitrogen source used for growth.
A. tamarense cells grown under nitrate-replete conditions were depleted by 1.5‰ relative to the growth medium, and saxitoxin was depleted by 1.5‰ relative to the whole cells. Under nitrate-limiting conditions, the isotopic difference between cells and saxitoxin changed as nitrate in the growth medium was depleted, indicating uncoupling of toxin synthesis and cell growth rates under changing external nutrient conditions. Determination of the absolute magnitude of the isotopic differences between the medium nitrate and either the cells or the saxitoxin was confounded by 1) using two different nitrate sources – one nitrate source was used to grow the inoculum and a different nitrate source was used for the experimental medium - with different ‰ values and 2) the presence of an unidentified, isotopically-light, nitrogen blank in the low-nitrate medium samples.
I conclude that STX nitrogen isotope values have the potential to be used as nitrogen source indicators. However, overall fractionation between whole cells and STX is unknown due to the uncoupling between cell growth and STX synthesis observed during my nitrogen-limited experiment. Based on previous research on cell growth and toxin production dynamics under different nutrient regimes, it is also reasonable to assume that the observed results here may differ if a different nitrogen source was utilized by the cells for STX production. Further research could include isotope analysis of cultures grown on different nitrogen sources, such as ammonium and urea; isotopic analysis of additional compounds, such as amino acids; or use of additional stable isotopes, such as C or O.text
