Ongoing research of the "Marine Natural Products" group of the LCMBA (UMR 6001 CNRS-UNSA) focus on the isolation and the characterization of new bioactive metabolites isolated from marine invertebrates (mostly sponges and cnidarians). According to the interest of these original compounds, their valorization may concern different fields such as...

Metabolomics has recently proven its usefulness as complementary tool to traditional morphological and genetic analyses for the classification of marine invertebrates. Among the metabolite-rich cnidarian order Zoantharia, Parazoanthus is a polyphyletic genus whose systematics and phylogeny remain controversial. Within this genus, one of the...

While marine organisms such as bivalves, seagrasses and macroalgae are commonly used as biomonitors for the environment pollution assessment, widely distributed sponges received little attention as potential helpful species for monitoring programmes. In this study, the trace element and radionuclide bioaccumulation and retention capacities of...
