Tetractinellida
Tetractinellida is an Order (biology), order of sea sponges belonging to the class Demospongiae. First described in 1876, this order received a new description in 2012 and replaced the two orders Astrophorida and Spirophorida, which then became sub-orders as Astrophorina and Spirophorina.

Demospongiae
Demosponges or common sponges are sponges of the class Demospongiae (from + ), the most diverse group in the phylum Porifera which include greater than 90% of all extant sponges with nearly 8,800 species worldwide (according to the World Porifera Database). Being siliceous sponges, they are predominantly leuconoid in structure with an endoskeleton made of a meshwork of spicules consisting of fibers of the protein spongin, the mineral silica, or both. Where spicules of silica are present, they have a different shape from those in the otherwise similar glass sponges. Some species, in particular from the Antarctic, obtain the silica for spicule-building from the ingestion of diatoms. The many diverse orders in this class include all of the large sponges. About 311 million years ago, in the Late Carboniferous, the order Spongillida split from the marine sponges, and is the only sponges to live in freshwater environments. Some species are brightly colored, with great va ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

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] |
