The first group of sponges (Aplysina fistularis, Plakortis sp., Amphimedon compressa, Aiolochroia crassa, Agelas clathrodes, Agelas cerebrum, Ircinia felix, Scopalina ruetzleri, Erylus formosus, Chondrilla nucula, and Aplysina archeri) was collected by SCUBA diving at depths of 3-20 m in Bahamas in July 2008 (GPS-26°27′3.25″ N, 77°5 4′14.59″ W). In terms of actinomycete diversity, the 79 cultivated strains are represented by 20 different genera namely Microbacterium (21 isolates), Rhodococcus (10), Streptomyces (5), Mycobacterium (6), Micromonospora (5), Knoellia (4), Gordonia (4), Curtobacterium (4), Arthrobacter (4) Salinispora (3), Saccharopolyspora (2), Nocardioides (2), Citromicrobium (2), Sanguibacter (1), Lapillicoccus (1), Kocuria (1), Dietzia (1), Cellulosimicrobium (1) Cellulomonas (1), and Agrococcus (1; Supplementary Table 1) . A family of aeruginosin inhibitors is active against human serine proteases and was isolated from marine sponges and cyanobacterial waterblooms (Ersmark et al.
