Abundance of thraustochytridsand bacteria in the equatorial Indian Ocean, in relation totransparent exopolymeric particles (TEPs)
Damare, V.S.; Raghukumar, S. (Blackwell Publishing, 2008)Thraustochytrid protists are often abundant in coastal waters. However, their population dynamics and substrate preferences in the oceanic water column are poorly understood.We studied the abundance and distribution of ... -
Apparent grazing losses of Labyrinthulomycetes protists in oceanic and coastal waters: An experimental elucidation
Damare, V.S.; Raghukumar, S. (Springer, 2015)Labyrinthulomycetes are unicellular eukaryotes known for their ability to synthesize polyunsaturated fatty acids that are essential for growth and development of zooplankton. But relationship of these microorganisms with ... -
Association of the stramenopilan protists, the aplanochytrids, with zooplankton of the equatorial Indian Ocean
Damare, V.S.; Raghukumar, S. (Inter-Research, 2010)Thraustochytrids and aplanochytrids, belonging to the Labyrinthulomycetes of the Kingdom Stramenopila, have been frequently reported to occur as parasites or symbionts in a number of coastal invertebrates. Given the fact ... -
Diversity of thraustochytrid protists isolated from brown alga, Sargassum cinereum using 18S rDNA sequencing and their morphological response to heavy metals
Damare, V.S. (Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2015)Thraustochytrids, the exclusively marine organisms of kingdom Stramenopila and a source of essential fatty acids in the marine milieu, possess an osmoheterotrophic mode of nutrition and are therefore affected by type and ... -
Ecological Studies and Molecular Characterization of Thraustochytrids and Aplanochytrids from Oceanic Water Column
Damare, V.S. (2009)Thraustochytrids, aplanochytrids and labyrinthulids belong to the Class Labyrinthulomycetes of the Kingdom Straminipila or Chromista, which also includes diatoms, brown algae, oomycetan fungi and a variety of photosynthetic ... -
Increasing evidence for the important role of Labyrinthulomycetes in marine ecosystems
Raghukumar, S.; Damare, V.S. (Walter de Gruyter, 2011)This review summarizes increasing evidence for the role of Labyrinthulomycetes in marine ecosystems gathered over the last six decades. It focuses on their diversity, habitats, biomass, productivity and overall role in ... -
Marine aggregates and transparent exopolymeric particles (TEPs) as substrates for the stramenopilan fungi, the thraustochytrids: Roller table experimental approach.
Damare, V.S.; Raghukumar, S. (Mycological Society of India, 2012)In order to understand the kind of organic substrates utilized by thraustochytrids in the coastal water column, their growth in the presence of Transparent Exopolymeric Substances (TEPS) and aggregates generated in roller ... -
Morphology and physiology of the marine straminipilan fungi, the aplanochytrids isolated from the equatorial Indian Ocean
Damare, V.S.; Raghukumar, S. (NISCAIR, CSIR, 2006)While thraustochytrids, a group of unicellular marine straminipilan protists, have been found to be abundant in the water column, little is known of aplanochytrids. These constitute one of the 3 groups belonging to the ... -
Potential roles of Labyrinthula spp. in global seagrass population declines
Sullivan, B.K.; Sherman, T.D.; Damare, V.S.; Lilje, O.; Gleason, F.H. (Elsevier, 2013)Overwhelming evidence suggests that seagrass ecosystems are declining around the world. Pathogens from the genus Labyrinthula have repeatedly been found to cause disease in a variety of seagrass species. For example, the ... -
Preliminary studies on the association between zooplankton and the stramenopilan fungi, Aplanochytrids
Damare, V.S.; Damare, S.R.; Ramanujam, P.; Meena, R.M.; Raghukumar, S. (Springer, 2013)The relationship of the marine heterokont stramenopilan protists, the aplanochytrids, with the zooplankton was studied in coastal waters. The aplanochytrids were fed to the zooplankton specimens and observed for grazing ... -
Preliminary study on the response of marine fungoid protists, the thraustochytrids, to lipid extracts of diatoms
Damare, V.S.; DeCosta, P.M.; Mamatha, S.S.; Borges, V.; Fernandes, Mary; Fernandes, Charmaine; Cardozo, S. (Springer, 2020)Thraustochytrids are particle-associated protists, ubiquitous in the marine environment. They are known to display a negative relationship with phytoplankton cells but a positive one with their exudates and detritus. ... -
Simple electric powered plankton wheel for the production of aggregates in seawater on-board ship
Damare, V.S.; Khalap, S.; Seshagiri, R. (NISCAIR, CSIR, 2011)A new handy plankton wheel was devised for use on-board a ship. Its efficacy to generate aggregates was tested on land using coastal waters. The device successfully generated aggregates of sizes varying up to 11.3 mm sup(2) ...
