“…According to [60], the diameter of the halo zone indicates that the hybrid material exhibits good antibacterial activity. Also, an extract from this sponge species does not exhibit antibacterial properties against Straphylococcus aureus , as reported in [61]. In comparison, 30 μg of Tetracycline reduce the growth of S. aureus less that examined hybrid material, the halo zone is 7 mm.…”

In this study, Hippospongia communis marine demosponge skeleton was used as an adsorbent for sodium copper chlorophyllin (SCC). Obtained results indicate the high sorption capacity of this biomaterial with respect to SCC. Batch experiments were performed under different conditions and kinetic and isotherms properties were investigated. Acidic pH and the addition of sodium chloride increased SCC adsorption. The experimental data were well described by a pseudo-second order kinetic model. Equilibrium adsorption isotherms were determined and the experimental data were analyzed using both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. The effectiveness of the process was confirmed by 13C Cross Polarization Magic Angle Spinning Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (13C CP/MAS NMR), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and thermogravimetric analysis (TG). This novel SCC-sponge-based functional hybrid material was found to exhibit antimicrobial activity against the gram-positive bacterium Staphylococcus aureus.

“…It was also noted that the antifungal activity was maximum against Trichoderma viridae and Penicillium chrysogenum. Similarly the extracts of Hippospongia communis and Ircinia variabilis have the capacity to inhibit the growth of Candida tropicalis R2 (an amphotericin B and nystatin resistant strain) as well as other bacteria (Rifai et al, 2005). Triterpene glycosides from the sea cucumber Actinopyga lecanora, a bioactive compound, showed effective anifungal activity against Aspergillus flavis, Candidaalbicans, Aspergillus niger (Kumar et al, 2007).…”

In phylum Echinodermata, the family Holothuridae is distinguished by its capacity of bioactive compounds. Sea cucumber Holothuria atra is commonly known as the lollyfish. The antifungal activity was detected using agar well diffusion method against the various fungal strains such as Trichoderma viride, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavis, Candida albicans and Penicillium chrysogenum. Relatively high antifungal activity was seen against Candida albicans at 100 µL −1 concentration of extracts. Zone of inhibition was measured at 18 mm of diameter. The anti-tumor activities were detected against the Vero and Hep2 cell lines using MTT assay. The cells were treated with H. atra extract at concentrations 0.07810mg mL −1 . The extract showed high proliferative activity against the Hep2 cells. The body wall extracts of sea cucumber (H. atra) showed effective antifungal and antitumor activities. All these findings suggest that the extracts could be used for the development of drugs.
