The aim of this work was to test and analyse the bioeffects of  Prunus spinosa  L. (Rosacaee) fruit ethanol extract on  Trichoplax adhaerens  Schulze, 1883 (Placozoa) laboratory cultures which—for the first time—were employed as  in vivo  biological model to assess the bioactivity of a natural extract. The ethanol extract of  P. spinosa  was administrated during a 46 day experimental period; ultrastructural (by optical, confocal, TEM and SEM microscopy) and morphometric analyses indicated that treated  Trichoplax adhaerens  showed significant differences in viability, reproductive modalities, body shape and colour with respect to the control group. Finally,  P. spinosa  bioactive compounds seem to exert profound protective effects on  T. adhaerens  reproduction and phenotype. Our results may support additional investigations related to other bioactive compounds properties useful for nutraceutical preparations to be used as food supplements.
