“…As early as 1999, it was reported that the active substances secreted by blue algae could inhibit the growth of diatoms [92]. Functional antifouling components have also been discovered in other organisms such as fungi [93], sponge [94] and some other bacteria [95,96].…”

“…The key in marine antifoulant research is to identify compounds that show antimicrobial activity and prevent formation of biofilms on ship hulls or installations such as oil rigs. Marine sponges offer a great potential in the search for antifoulant compounds, because several have shown AF activity (e.g., Hattori et al, 1998, Fusetani, 2004, Ortlepp et al, 2007, Qiu et al, 2008, Limna Mol et al, 2009, Hertiani et al, 2010, Blihoghe et al, 2011, Dobretsov et al, 2011, Wright et al, 2011, Wu et al, 2012, Xu et al, 2012and Santos-Acevedo et al, 2013 and others can modulate biofilm formation in a non-microbiocidal manner (Stowe et al, 2011). However, abundant microorganisms are associated with sponges and either reside on the sponge surface as epibionts or within the canal system as endobionts , Usher et al, 2004, Erwin et al, 2011, Vasundhara et al, 2012, Satheesh et al, 2012and Papaleo et al, 2012.…”

“…Several studies showed the antifouling potential of sponge secondary metabolites in the Indian and Pacific oceans, Caribbean and Mediterranean seas (Sera et al, 1999a;Kubanek et al, 2002;Hellio et al, 2005;Limna Mol et al, 2009). The antifouling property of marine benthic invertebrates from the Brazilian coast are still poorly known; to this date, only a single species of gorgonian, Phyllogorgia dilatata (Esper) and three of sponges were investigated: Geodia corticostylifera Hajdu et al, Mycale microsigmatosa Arndt and Aplysina fulva (Pallas).…”

Benthic marine organisms are constantly exposed to fouling, which is harmful to most host species. Thus, the production of secondary metabolites containing antifouling properties is an important ecological advantage for sessile organisms and may also provide leading compounds for the development of antifouling paints. High antifouling potential of sponges has been demonstrated in the Indian and Pacific oceans and in the Caribbean and Mediterranean seas. Brazilian sponges remain understudied concerning antifouling activities. Only two scientific articles reported this activity in sponges of Brazil. The objective of this study was to test crude extracts of twelve species of sponges from Brazil against the attachment of the mussel Perna perna through laboratorial assays, and highlight promising species for future studies. The species Petromica citrina, Amphimedon viridis, Desmapsamma anchorata, Chondrosia sp., Polymastia janeirensis, Tedania ignis, Aplysina fulva, Mycale angulosa, Hymeniacidon heliophila, Dysidea etheria, Tethya rubra, and Tethya maza were frozen and freeze-dried before extraction with acetone or dichloromethane. The crude extract of four species significantly inhibited the attachment of byssus: Tethya rubra (p = 0.0009), Tethya maza (p = 0.0039), Petromica citrina (p = 0.0277), and Hymeniacidon heliophila (p = 0.00003). These species, specially, should be the target of future studies to detail the substances involved in the ability antifouling well as to define its amplitude of action.Keywords: Porifera, Demospongiae, antifouling, Perna perna, Brazil. Atividade anti-incrustante de doze demosponjas do Brasil ResumoOrganismos bentônicos marinhos estão expostos constantemente à incrustação, que pode ser danosa para a maioria das espécies. Assim, a produção de metabólitos secundários com propriedades anti-incrustantes é uma vantagem ecológica importante para organismos sésseis e pode também orientar o estudo de substâncias para o desenvolvimento de tintas anti-incrustantes. O alto potencial anti-incrustante de esponjas tem sido demonstrado nos oceanos Índico e Pacífico, nos mares Mediterrâneo e Caribenho. Esponjas brasileiras permanecem pouco estudadas em relação à atividade anti-incrustante. Apenas dois artigos científicos registraram essa atividade em esponjas do Brasil. O objetivo desse estudo foi testar os extratos brutos de doze espécies de esponjas do Brasil contra a fixação do molusco Perna perna através de ensaios laboratoriais e também destacar espécies promissoras para estudos futuros. As espécies Petromica citrina, Amphimedon viridis, Desmapsamma anchorata, Chondrosia sp., Polymastia janeirensis, Tedania ignis, Aplysina fulva, Mycale angulosa, Hymeniacidon heliophila, Dysidea etheria, Tethya rubra e Tethya maza foram congeladas e liofilizadas logo após a coleta e posteriormente procedeu-se a extração com acetona ou diclorometano. O extrato bruto de quatro espécies inibiu significativamente a fixação de bissos: Tethya rubra (p = 0.0009), Tethya maza (p = 0.0039), Petromica citrina (p...
