| Abstract: | A high (2',5')oligoadenylate (2-5A) synthetase activity was found in the marine sponge Geodia cydonium. Here we demonstrate that the 2-5A synthetase activity is present also in other sponge species although the level of the 2-5A synthetase activity varies in several magnitudes in different sponges. The 2-5A synthesizing activity was maintained in the primary culture produced from a sponge. |
