Antioxidant responses in Mesopodopsis zeylanica at varying salinity to detect mercury influence in culture ponds
Verlecar, X.N.; Das, P.B.; Jena, K.; Maharana, D.; Desai, S.R. (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, 2012)Antioxidant responses in the estuarine mysid, Mesopodopsis zeylanica, were used to assess mercury (Hg) metal contamination in relation to salinity. Natural mysids acclimatized at 5 psu were subjected to laboratory exposures ... -
Assessment of micro and macroplastics along the west coast of India: Abundance, distribution, polymer type and toxicity
Maharana, D.; Saha, M.; Dar, J.Y.; Rathore, C.; Sreepada, R.A.; Xu, X.-R.; Koongolla, J.B.; Li, H.-X. (2020)Considering the magnitude of pollution caused by marine plastics, the present study assessed their abundance, distribution, surface morphology and polymer type in ten sandy beaches spread across three states (Maharashtra, ... -
Assessment of oxidative stress indices in a marine macro brown alga Padina tetrastromatica (Hauck) from comparable polluted coastal regions of the Arabian Sea, west coast of India
Maharana, D.; Jena, K.B.; Pise, N.M.; Jagtap, T.G. (Chinese Academy of Sciences, 2010)Oxidative stress and antioxidant defence systems were assessed in a marine brown alga Padina tetrastromatica, commonly occurring from the tropics. Lipid peroxidation (LPX) and H sub(2) O sub(2) were measured as oxidative ... -
Free radical scavenging potential, reducing power, phenolic and biochemical constituents of Porphyra species from India
Pise, N.M.; Jena, K.B.; Maharana, D.; Gaikwad, D.; Jagtap, T.G. (PHYCOSPECTRUM INC, 2010)Inorganic elements, organic composition and antioxidant properties of Porphyra indica and P. veiatnamensis, were investigated. Heavy metals were found below toxic level, protein and ash contents were found to be the most ... -
Oxidative stress tolerance in intertidal red seaweed Hypnea musciformis (Wulfen) in relation to environmental components
Maharana, D.; Das, P.B.; Verlecar, X.N.; Pise, N.M.; Gauns, M. (Springer, 2015)Oxidative stress parameters in relation to temperature and other factors have been analysed in Hypnea musciformis, the red seaweed from Anjuna beach, Goa, with an aim to understand its susceptibility to the changing seasons. ... -
Seasonal Trends of Atmospheric PAHs in Five Asian Megacities and Source Detection Using Suitable Biomarkers
Saha, M.; Maharana, D.; Kurumisawa, R.; Takada, H.; Yeo, B.G.; Rodrigues, A.C.; Zakaria, M.P.; Giang, D.H.; Viet, P.H.; Bhattacharya, B.; Kumata, H.; Okuda, T.; He, K.; Ma, Y.; Nakajima, F. (Taiwan Association for Aerosol Research, 2017)The most prevalent pollutant, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is now plenteously distributed in the global atmosphere. We recently quantified 36 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) associated with aerosols ...
