Rhabdastrella Globostellata
''Rhabdastrella globostellata'', also known as the yellow pot sponge, is a marine sponge of the order Astrophorida. It is native to many regions of the Indian Ocean including the shores of Madagascar, the Seychelles, and Australia as well as the Malayan Peninsula and Singapore. It was first described by Henry J. Carter as ''Stelleta globostellata'' in 1883, named after the ''globostellate'' shape of its spicules (Latin ''globus'' meaning "sphere" and ''stellātus'' meaning "star-shaped"). ''R. globostellata'' has been shown to produce a wide variety of isomalabaricanes, a type of triterpene molecules with notable cytotoxic Cytotoxicity is the quality of being toxic to cells. Examples of toxic agents are toxic metals, toxic chemicals, microbe neurotoxins, radiation particles and even specific neurotransmitters when the system is out of balance. Also some types of dr ... activity towards certain cancer cell lines. Further reading * References Tetractinellida Anima ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
