Aplidium albicans is a toxic sea squirt native to the Mediterranean Sea.
Range
Native to the Mediterranean Sea. [2] [3] [4] [5] Population density is sparse in its native range. [5]
Toxins
A. albicans contains aplidine (aplidin, plitidepsin), [6] [2] [7] [8] found by Steiner et al 2015 and Borjan et al 2015 [7] to be a cytotoxin (due to its apoptotic [4] [5] [9] effect) and antiangiogenic. [2] [7] [5] The toxin is structurally and functionally almost identical to toxins produced by the genus Tistrella of marine bacteria. [8]
Aquaculture
Aquaculture of A. albicans has not been economically feasible as of 2008 [update]. [5]
