The main focus of this book§entitled is to provide an up-to-date§coverage of marine sponges and their significance in the current era. This book§is an attempt to compile an outline of marine sponge research to date, with§specific detail on these bioactive compounds, and their pharmacological and biomedical§applications.§§The§book encompasses twenty chapters covering various topics related to Marine§Sponges. Initial couple of chapters deal about the worldwide status of marine§sponge research, the recent findings regarding dynamics of sponges, and several§interesting research areas, that are believed to be deserving of increased§attention. Variety of sponges, their toxicology, metagenomics, pharmaceutical significance and their possible applications in biomedicine has§been discussed in detail. The second half of this part includes chapters on§chemical ecology of marine sponges followed by the discussion on importance of§bioeroding sponges in aquaculture systems. The following four chapters of the§book deal majorly with the chemical molecules of§marine sponges. In the fifth chapter, marine§sponge-associated actinobacteria and their pysicochemical properties have been§discussed followed by their bioactive potential. The biological application of§marine sponges has been presented in later chapters with the classification of§biologically active compounds being explored in detail.§§The§second half of the book presents the vast repertoire of secondary metabolites§from marine sponges, which include terpenoids, heterocycles, acetylenic§compounds, steroids and nucleosides. Further, the bioactive potential of these§compounds has also been discussed. One§of the constituent chapter elaborates the bioactive alkaloids from marine§sponges namely, pyridoacridine, indole, isoquinolene, piperidene,§quinolizidine, steroidal and bromotyrosine alkaloids isolated from them. In the§next couple of chapters, important sponge polymers and the anticancer effects§of marine sponge compounds have been presented.§§The§most interesting aspect of sponge biology is their use in biomedical arena. An§effort has been made in this book, to cover the major constituents of sponges§and their biomedical potentials. The major portion of sponge body is composed§of collagen and silica and used in tissue engineering as scaffold material.§This part of the book compiles chapters delineating the isolation of sponge§biomaterials including collagen and their use in medical diagnostics. Overall,§this book would be an important read for novice and experts in the field of§sponge biology.§
