Alkaloid

Alkaloids are a class of basic, naturally occurring organic compounds that contain at least one nitrogen atom.

See Agelas schmidti and Alkaloid

Antimicrobial

An antimicrobial is an agent that kills microorganisms (microbicide) or stops their growth (bacteriostatic agent).

See Agelas schmidti and Antimicrobial

Brazil

Brazil, officially the Federative Republic of Brazil, is the largest and easternmost country in South America and Latin America.

See Agelas schmidti and Brazil

Caribbean Sea

The Caribbean Sea is a sea of the Atlantic Ocean in the tropics of the Western Hemisphere.

See Agelas schmidti and Caribbean Sea

Choanocytes (also known as "collar cells") are cells that line the interior of asconoid, syconoid and leuconoid body types of sponges that contain a central flagellum, or cilium, surrounded by a collar of microvilli which are connected by a thin membrane.

See Agelas schmidti and Choanocyte

Colony (biology)

In biology, a colony is composed of two or more conspecific individuals living in close association with, or connected to, one another.

See Agelas schmidti and Colony (biology)

Demosponge

Demosponges (Demospongiae) are the most diverse class in the phylum Porifera.

See Agelas schmidti and Demosponge

Filter feeder

Filter feeders are aquatic animals that acquire nutrients by feeding on organic matters, food particles or smaller organisms (bacteria, microalgae and zooplanktons) suspended in water, typically by having the water pass over or through a specialized filtering organ.

See Agelas schmidti and Filter feeder

Flagellum

A flagellum (flagella) (Latin for 'whip' or 'scourge') is a hairlike appendage that protrudes from certain plant and animal sperm cells, from fungal spores (zoospores), and from a wide range of microorganisms to provide motility.

See Agelas schmidti and Flagellum

Greater Antilles

The Greater Antilles is a grouping of the larger islands in the Caribbean Sea, including Cuba, Hispaniola, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Navassa Island, and the Cayman Islands.

See Agelas schmidti and Greater Antilles

Gulf of Mexico

The Gulf of Mexico (Golfo de México) is an ocean basin and a marginal sea of the Atlantic Ocean, mostly surrounded by the North American continent.

See Agelas schmidti and Gulf of Mexico

Osculum

The osculum (oscula) is an excretory structure in the living sponge, a large opening to the outside through which the current of water exits after passing through the spongocoel.

See Agelas schmidti and Osculum

Parazoanthus

Parazoanthus is a genus of anemone-like anthozoans in the order Zoantharia.

See Agelas schmidti and Parazoanthus

Polyp (zoology)

A polyp in zoology is one of two forms found in the phylum Cnidaria, the other being the medusa.

See Agelas schmidti and Polyp (zoology)

Puerto Rico

Secondary metabolites, also called specialised metabolites, toxins, secondary products, or natural products, are organic compounds produced by any lifeform, e.g. bacteria, fungi, animals, or plants, which are not directly involved in the normal growth, development, or reproduction of the organism.

See Agelas schmidti and Secondary metabolite

Species

A species (species) is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction.

See Agelas schmidti and Species

Sponge spicule

Spicules are structural elements found in most sponges.

See Agelas schmidti and Sponge spicule

Spongin

Spongin, a modified type of collagen protein, forms the fibrous skeleton of most organisms among the phylum Porifera, the sponges.

See Agelas schmidti and Spongin

Substrate (biology)

In biology, a substrate is the surface on which an organism (such as a plant, fungus, or animal) lives.

See Agelas schmidti and Substrate (biology)

Symbiosis

Symbiosis (from Greek,, "living with, companionship, camaraderie", from,, "together", and, bíōsis, "living") is any type of a close and long-term biological interaction between two biological organisms of different species, termed symbionts, be it mutualistic, commensalistic, or parasitic.

See Agelas schmidti and Symbiosis

Type (biology)

In biology, a type is a particular specimen (or in some cases a group of specimens) of an organism to which the scientific name of that organism is formally associated.

See Agelas schmidti and Type (biology)

Zoantharia

Zoanthids (order Zoantharia also called Zoanthidea or Zoanthiniaria) are an order of cnidarians commonly found in coral reefs, the deep sea and many other marine environments around the world.
