Extraordinary Levels of Cadmium and Zinc in a Marine Sponge, Tedania-Charcoti Topsent - Inorganic Chemical Defense Agents

The Antarctic marine sponge Tedania charcoti has been shown to contain extraordinarily high natural concentrations of cadmium and zinc, which have in turn been correlated to the ability of the crude ethanol extract to modulate protein phosphorylation in chicken forebrain and to inhibit the growth of...

Description
Summary:The Antarctic marine sponge Tedania charcoti has been shown to contain extraordinarily high natural concentrations of cadmium and zinc, which have in turn been correlated to the ability of the crude ethanol extract to modulate protein phosphorylation in chicken forebrain and to inhibit the growth of several test bacteria.
