Dynamics and diversity of phosphate mineralizing bacteria in the coral reefs of Gulf of Mannar
(WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH, 2012)Phosphatase Producing Bacteria (PPB) and Inorganic Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria (IPSB) are important to reef nutrition. These microbes and phosphate concentration play a significant role in the productivity of coral ... -
Dynamics of transparent exopolymeric particles (TEP) and particle-associated carbohydrates in the Dona Paula bay, west coast of India
(Indian National Science Academy, 2006)Surface seawater samples were collected over a period 33 of 27 months at a shallow water station in Dona Paula bay from 1998-2000. The samples were analyzed to assess the seasonal variations, inter-annual variability and ... -
Echinicola shivajiensis sp. nov., a novel bacterium of the family "Cyclobacteriaceae" isolated from brackish water pond
(Springer, 2012)Strain AK12 sup(T), an orange pigmented Gramnegative, rod shaped, non-motile bacterium, was isolated fromamud sample collected froma brackishwater pond at Rampur of West Bengal, India. The strain was positive for oxidase, ... -
Ecological and laboratory studies on the role of luminous bacteria and their luminescence in coastal pollution surveillance
(Pergamon, 1993)This study was aimed at finding out how bacterial bioluminescence, a trait very sensitive to toxicants, is affected in coastal environs which receive various types of effluents. For this, observations on occurrence and ... -
Effect of dispersants on the growth of indigenous bacterial population and biodegradation of crude oil
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1983)Oil dispersants (5 from Castrol Ltd., Bombay and 2 from British Petroleum, London) were studied individually and in combination with Saudi Arabian crude oil for their effect on the growth of indigenous bacteria and on the ... -
Effects of hydrography on the distribution of bacteria and virus in Cochin Estuary, India
(Ecological Society of Japan, 2015)The viral dynamics have rarely been investigated in estuarine environments of India. The present study brings out a first hand information on the distribution of virus and bacteria in an eutrophic estuary (Cochin, India). ... -

Experimental studies on Urea Degradation in Seawater
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1980)The rate of urea degradation in seawater was studied under various conditions and the kinetics of urea degradation was evaluated. Urea decomposition experiments showed that the rates and quantity of ammonium oxidation were ... -
First description of a cyanophage infecting the cyanobacterium Arthrospira platensis (Spirulina)
(Springer, 2013)Cyanobacteria constitute a versatile group of photosynthetic bacteria of immense commercial and ecological importance. Some species of this group are cultivated and sold as food because of their high nutritional value. ... -
FiveS rRNA sequences and fatty acid profiles of colourless sulfur-oxidising bacteria
(Publ. and Inf. Dir., New Delhi, India, 1994)Colourless sulfur-oxidising bacteria have been encountered extensively in the oxygen minimum layers of the Arabian Sea. These oligotrophs have been known to mediate nitrogen cycle reductively even under autotrophic conditions. ... -
Flavobacterium nitratireducens sp. nov., an amylolytic bacterium of the family Flavobacteriaceae isolated from coastal surface seawater
(International Union of Microbiological Societies, 2013)A novel Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-motile bacterium, designated strain N1 sup(T), was isolated from a marine water sample collected from the sea shore, Bay of Bengal, Visakhapatnam, India. The strain was positive for ... -
Growth inhibition of fouling bacteria and diatoms by extract of terrestrial plant, Derris scandens (Dicotyledonae:Leguminocae)
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1995)Methanol extract of terrestrial plant, Derris scandens Benth, was found to inhibit growth of four diatoms and 7 bacterial species of fouling community. The concentrations required to bring about 100% inhibition of growth ... -
Importance of contextual information for harnessing microbial resources from polar regions
(LIGHTS Research Foundation, 2013)With growing interest in scientific and commercial pursuits extending up to the poles, new challenges for both environmental diplomacy and governance could be envisaged. Polar regions could be veritable store house for ... -
In vitro and in vivo activities of antibiotic PM181104
(American Society for Microbiology, 2013)Drug resistance has become a global threat that, if not addressed, may return us to the preantibiotic era. A way to overcome the problem of growing incidence of global antibiotic resistance is to introduce compounds belonging ... -
Insights into the structural and functional aspects of rela by molecular modeling and docking calculations.
(IJPPS publishes, 2014)RelA (ppGpp synthetase I) has been reported as an excellent drug target due to its correlation with virulence induction in bacteria. The aim of present investigation is to provide a deeper understanding of the structural ... -
Interactions of bacteria with diatoms: Influence on natural marine biofilms.
(John Wiley & Sons, 2014)Interactions between microfouling components influence the biofilm community and the cascading events, thus playing an important role in the biofouling process. Bacteria and diatoms are among the dominant forms reported ... -
Iron bacterial phylogeny and their execution towards iron availability in Equatorial Indian Ocean and Coastal Arabian Sea
(Polish Society of Microbiologists, 2013)Based on distinct colony morphology, color, size, shape and certain other traits, 92 bacterial isolates were investigated to understand their managerial ability on iron from the Arabian Sea and Equatorial Indian Ocean ... -
