The present invention relates to a process for the production of marine invertebrate type V telopeptide containing collagen preparations from marine invertebrates, compositions containing preparations, and methods of using these preparations. The collagen preparation includes telopeptide containing and optionally invertebrate atelopeptide containing, type V fibrillar collagen. The present collagen preparations may be employed in a variety of products including for example, cosmetic, pharmacological, dental, and cell culture products.

The application discloses novel synthetic compounds, modeled after unique toxins extracted from the marine invertebrate Diazona angulata useful in the treatment abnormal cell mitosis. The application also discloses novel methods for synthesis of these compounds and methods of using these compounds.

The present invention discloses a process of extraction, purification and characterization of a non-polar fluorescent dye from a marine echinoderm Holothuria scabra, compositions containing the dye and various applications of the dye, said dye is a natural, cell permeant, nontoxic and environmentally friendly non-polar fluorescent dye.

Methods for inducing systemic, non-specific and / or sequence specific immune responses in invertebrates, e.g., marine invertebrates such as mollusks, porifera, ctenophora, echinodermas, marine worms, cnideria and preferably crustaceans, by the administration of at least one dsRNA, that confers immunity against a pathogen, or modulates expression of gene that affects growth, reproduction, and general health or “robustness” are provided. Also provided are methods of identifying invertebrate genes, e.g., crustacean genes, the expression of which is involved in the induction of non-specific (systemic) immune responses against pathogens. Also disclosed are preferred delivery systems and methods for stably administering at least one dsRNA to a crustacean whereby the dsRNA is administered via injection, immersion, in a feed or nutrient medium or comprised in a microorganism, e.g., yeast or microalgae, that expresses said dsRNA and is ingestible by said crustacean, e.g., a shrimp.

Extra-cellular product anti-biofouling against marine invertebrates which are common to the biofouling, which contains an extract of the supernatant of an Alteromonas sp. Culture. Anti-biofouling composition, comprising said extra-cellular product and a biopolymer. The use of said extra-cellular product for preparing a composition useful for inhibiting the marine micro- and macro-biofouling, and the process for preparing said extra-cellular product.
