Aim of this paper is to report on a screening on sponge ECM glycosaminoglycan (GAG) diversity. To investigate the heterogeneity of sponge extracellular sulphated glycans, we determined their content and distribution in some Mediterranean and Caribbean species. To focus on biological and morpho-functional roles of these molecules in the sponge ECM some selected species were considered as models to investigate the topographic distribution of GAGs in sponge body according with the different architecture of specialized regions.
