dear spongers, I've read different protocols dealing with deposponge
silicious spicules cleaning from exogenous tissues. as far as I understood
using agressive cleaning procedures such as NaOCl and H2SO4/HNO3 can harm
the axial filament proteins. I know there are milder ways to get clean
spicules. if anybody can refer to some good protocol and have some
experience with the benefits and drawbacks of the methods, it can help me
a lot.
