- ... that the sponge Aplysina cavernicola has been used as a model organism to monitor the presence of heavy elements such as 241Americum in seawater? Source: "the speciation of heavy elements in natural seawater and their uptake by a model marine organism. More specifically, because the interaction of actinides with marine invertebrates has been poorly studied, the accumulation in a representative member of the Mediterranean coralligenous habitat, the sponge Aplysina cavernicola, was investigated and its uptake curve exposed to a radiotracer 241Am was estimated")
