A deep-water sponge of the genus has yielded a bis-indole alkaloid which we have named dragmacidin G. Dragmacidin G was first reported by us in the patent literature and has recently been reported by Hitora et al. from a sponge of the genus . Dragmacidin G is the first in this series of compounds to have a pyrazine ring linking the two indole rings. It also has a rare -(2-mercaptoethyl)-guanidine side chain. Dragmacidin G shows a broad spectrum of biological activity including inhibition of methicillin-resistant , , and a panel of pancreatic cancer cell lines.

A new psammaplysin derivative, ceratinadin G (), was obtained from the Okinawan marine sponge sp., and the gross structure was clarified through spectroscopic and spectrometric analyses. The absolute configuration of compound was established by comparing its NMR and ECD data with those of the known psammaplysin derivative, psammaplysin F ().

Vibrio spp. are remarkably diverse bacteria, being worthy of investigation not only for their antibiotic resistance and virulence, but also for their biotechnological potential. Indeed, there is increasing evidence that these bacteria display industrially relevant traits, particularly as producers of antimicrobial substances, tensioactive/emulsifying compounds, and enzymes.

- - Three new species of brachyuran crabs have been identified in Tamil Nadu, India, including the first epialtid species from this region, Acanthophrys keeae n. sp., which has unique physical features that distinguish it from related species in Australia.
- - The second species, Latopilumnus ajmali n. sp., was discovered in a sponge and is characterized by its densely hairy body and smooth dorsal surface with poorly defined regions.
- - The third species, Vellumnus intonsus n. sp., found in coral rubble, shares similarities with two other species but can be identified by specific features such as a deep cleft separating lobes on its front and distinctive shapes of
