Tethya aurantium

Acidic forms of human cerebroside sulphatase have been partially purified from invertebrates Tethya aurantium (Porifera), Patella vulgata (mollusca), Maja squinado (Arthropoda), Martlasterias glacialis (Echinodermata), and Microcosmus sulcatus (Tunicata). Enzyme preparations thus obtained cleaved cerebroside sulphates only in the presence of either specific detergents, e.g. taurodeoxycholate, or an activator protein isolated from human liver. On a molar basis, less of the activator protein was required to achieve the same activation as detergent. 

After the discovery of the cathepsin L (cysteine protease)-related sihcatein (Shimizu et al., 1998 Cha et al., 1999) in spicules of the demosponge Tethya aurantium, several... 

Trichodermanones A-D and sorbifuranones A-C are two new series of sorbicillinoids with an unprecedented structure. They were isolated from both assodations of Trichoderma sp.lAgelas dispar (Caribbean), and Penicillium sp./Tethya aurantium (Mediterranean Sea), respectively (Neumann et al., 2007 Bringmann et al, 2010). 

Scopularides A and B are two other cyclodepsipeptides isolated from Scopulariopsis brevicauli associated to the sponge Tethya aurantium from Limski Fjord, Croatia. Both contain D- and L- amino acids and 3-hydroxy-4-methyl-octanoic acid, and both are moderately antimicrobial for Gram-positive baderia (Yu et al, 2008).
