Spongilla
Overview ''Spongilla'' is a genus of freshwater sponges with over 200 different species. Spongilla was first publicly recognized in 1696 by Leonard Plukenet and can be found in lakes, ponds and slow streams.''Spongilla'' have a leuconoid body form with a skeleton composed of siliceous spicules. They are sessile organisms, attaching themselves to hard substrate like rocks, logs and sometimes to ground. Using their ostia and osculum these sponges filter the water for various small aquatic organisms such as protozoans, bacteria, and other free-floating pond life. Sponges of the genus ''Spongilla'' partake in symbiotic relationships with green algae, zoochlorellae. The symbiotic zoochlorellae give the sponges a green appearance and without them they would appear white. ''Spongilla'' was used by John Hogg in the 19th century to attempt to justify a fourth kingdom of life. Reproduction Sponges are hermaphroditic organisms, producing both egg and sperm. Sperm is released from ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
