Based on the assumption that invertebrates as well as vertebrates possess factors regulating hematopoiesis, response to infection or wounding, studies dealing with the evolution of immunity have focused on the isolation and characterization of putative cytokine-related molecules from invertebrates.

The articles in the present volume are by major contributors to our under standing of signaling pathways affecting protein synthesis. Since amino acids serve as precursors for proteins, one might expect that with holding an essential amino acid would inhibit the elongation phase.

Sponges (phylum Porifera) are known to be very rich sources for bioactive compounds, mainly secondary metabolites. Main efforts are devoted to cell- and mariculture of sponges to assure a sustainable exploitation of bioactive compounds from biological starting material.

Inorganic polyphosphates - polymers of orthophosphate linked by high-energy phosphoanhydride bonds - have been found in apparently all forms of life, from bacteria, yeasts and fungi to higher plants and animals. In addition, the methods to study these polymers as well as the biotechnological applications of inorganic polyphosphates are described.
