Abstract
When you think of sponges, what comes to your mind? Some people might think of bath, kitchen, or makeup sponges. In reality, those objects are all based on ancient living creatures found in aquatic environments, called marine sponges. These animals have bodies full of holes and live attached to a surface. Sadly, marine sponges are at risk of disappearing forever, because of the pollution of the oceans. Scientists discovered that various bacteria live inside sponges. These bacteria produce substances that can help sponges to get stronger and to thrive even in very polluted places. But what is even more interesting is that these substances can be used to improve human health and the health of the environment. Yet, we know little about the potential of this tiny and magnificent world. So, the research must continue!
