In this study, we investigated the potential of sponge-associated microorganisms as sources of antimalarial compounds. Sponge-associated microorganisms were grown in R2A or ISP2 media. Culture broths were fractionated using Diaion HP-20 resin and MeOH:H2O gradient elution to yield four fractions per...
