“…The species I. basta (Pallas, 1766) [ 98 ] is the most studied sponge of the family Ianthellidae, and has been sampled across a number of localities, including Guam [ 99 , 100 ], PNG [ 97 , 101 , 102 , 103 ], Indonesia [ 104 , 105 , 106 , 107 , 108 , 109 ], GBR [ 110 , 111 , 112 ], and the Exmouth Gulf, Western Australia [ 113 , 114 ]. All samples across all localities yielded a very similar chemistry, proving I. basta to be a large producer of bastadins and their precursor, the hemi-bastadins.…”
