Abstract

A Thai blue marine sponge, Xestospongia sp. (c.f. Neopetrosia sp.), can produce highly effective anticancer compounds; namely, Renieramycin M (RM). Currently, this compound is in clinical trials processes before developing it as a new anticancer agent. To provide sufficient RM for clinical trials and a prospective pharmaceutical market, a blue Xestospongia sponge was cultured under natural conditions to assess the RM production and record the growth. The sponge was cultured near the coastline of the Trang Province Sea area by the long line method for 10 months. Three substrates, i.e., a plastic rope, cement pieces, and a polyvinylchloride (PVC) pipe, respectively, were used. Results revealed that the sponge produced maximum and accumulated RM in September (0.42 µg/mg tissue), but it was not observed during summer (February-April) and the early monsoon season (May-July). The growth of a blue sponge did not exhibit any statistical difference at the 95% confidence interval. The maximum growth was observed in June. Based on the result, it can be concluded that changes in the temperature and salinity in the monsoon season cause the sponges to utilize its energy for synthesizing and accumulating RM in their tissues rather than utilizing for its growth.
