three new metabolites from marine-derived fungi of the genera coniothyrium and microsphaeropsis	the marine sponges ectyplasia perox and myxilla incrustans were investigated for associated fungal strains. among others, a coniothyrium sp., from e. perox, and a microsphaeropsis sp., from m. incrustans, were isolated, cultured, and investigated for their biologically active secondary metabolite contents. the new compound microsphaeropsisin (1) together with the known compounds (r)-mellein (4), (3r,4s)-hydroxymellein (5), (3r,4r)-hydroxymellein (6), and 4, 8-dihydroxy-3,4-dihydro-2h-naphthalen- ...	1999	9917295
gillisia myxillae sp. nov., a novel member of the family flavobacteriaceae, isolated from the marine sponge myxilla incrustans.	a yellow-pigmented, gram-negative, rod-shaped, strictly aerobic bacterium (strain ust050418-085(t)) was isolated from the surface of a marine sponge, myxilla incrustans, at friday harbor, wa, usa. the dna g+c content of this strain was 34.6 mol%. the predominant fatty acids were i15 : 0, a15 : 0, i15 : 1, i16 : 0, i17 : 0 3-oh, 17 : 0 2-oh and summed feature 3, comprising i15 : 0 2-oh and/or 16 : 1omega7c (altogether representing 69.0 % of the total fatty acids). mk-6 was the only respiratory qu ...	2006	16902010
inter- and intraspecific variations of bacterial communities associated with marine sponges from san juan island, washington.	this study attempted to assess whether conspecific or congeneric sponges around san juan island, washington, harbor specific bacterial communities. we used a combination of culture-independent dna fingerprinting techniques (terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis [dgge]) and culture-dependent approaches. the results indicated that the bacterial communities in the water column consisted of more diverse bacterial ribotypes than and were drastic ...	2009	19363076
