''Rhabdastrella globostellata'', also known as yellow pot sponge, is a marine sponge of the order Astrophorida. It is native to many regions of the Indian Ocean including the shores of Madagascar, the Seychelles, and Australia〔 〕 as well as the Malayan Peninsula and Singapore.〔 〕 It was first described by Henry J. Carter as ''Stelleta globostellata'' in 1883, named after the ''globostellate'' shape of its spicules (Latin ''globus'' meaning "sphere" and ''stellātus'' meaning "star-shaped").〔 ''R. globostellata'' has been shown to produce a wide variety of isomalabaricanes, a type of triterpene molecules with notable cytotoxic activity towards certain cancer cell lines.〔 〕〔 〕 ==Further reading== * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rhabdastrella globostellata」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
