An online image record for Axinella bidderi is available from WoRMS/EOL (World Register of Marine Species / Encyclopedia of Life). The specimen image appears to show a branching, cushion-like sponge form consistent with other Axinella species in Axinellidae.
Axinella bidderi is listed in GBIF as an accepted species (as Axinella bidderi Burton, 1959). GBIF provides the authorship and publication details associated with the accepted name.
A marine-derived sponge compound, “Yardenone 2,” is reported as being isolated from Axinella sponges in the genus Axinella and evaluated for anti-cancer activity against hypoxia-associated pathways in prostate cancer models. In the cited study, Yardenone 2 is described as acting by disrupting microtubule function and thereby downregulating HIF-1α signaling under hypoxic conditions.
