A new species of Eutrachytes (Acari: Uropodina: Eutrachytidae) associated with the indian mangrove (Avicennia officinalis)
Moraza, M.L.; Kontschan, J.; Sahoo, G.; Ansari, Z.A. (Acarologia, 2016)A new species of Eutrachytes (Eutrachytes flagellatus) is described based on a complete ontogenetic series, starting from larva and including the adult female and male. This Uropodina mite was isolated from the pneumatophore ... -
Antibacterial activity of mangrove leaf extracts against human pathogens
Sahoo, G.; Mulla, N.S.S.; Ansari, Z.A.; Mohandass, C. (Medknow publisher, 2012)The antibacterial activity of leaf extract of mangroves, namely, Rhizophora mucronata, Sonneratia alba and Exoecaria agallocha from Chorao island, Goa was investigated against human bacterial pathogens Staphylococcus aureus, ... -
Defaunation of meiofauna in Mumbai bay (India) - A severely polluted area
Sahoo, G.; Ansari, Z.A.; Sukumaran, S.; Gajbhiye, S.N. (Elsevier, 2017)Meiofauna plays an important role in the benthic food web of shallow water ecosystems. In the present study, the status of meiofauna was addressed in the intertidal and subtidal environment of Mumbai bay (West coast of ... -
Description of a New Mangrove Root Dwelling Species of Teleotanais (Crustacea: Peracarida: Tanaidacea) from India, with a Key to Teleotanaidae
Larsen, K.; Sahoo, G.; Ansari, Z.A. (Japanese Society of Systematic Zoology, 2013)Tanaidaceans collected from mangrove pneumatophores on the west coast of India included females and mancae of a new species of the rare and plesiomorphic family Teleotanaidae, described herein as Teleotanais indiaensisi ... -
Effect of oil spillage on ecological diversity of pneumatophore associated fauna and flora in central west coast of india
Sahoo, G.; Ansari, Z.A. (Academy of Environmental Biology, 2012)Pneumatophores of Avicennia alba is rich in flora (diatoms) and faunal (meiofauna) diversity from the sedimentary environment Flora and faunal composition from two sites: One polluted (Dighodi) and other non-polluted (Goa) ... -
Epibiotic communities (microalgae and meiofauna) on the pneumatophores of Avicennia officinalis (L.)
Sahoo, G.; Ansari, Z.A.; Shaikh, J.B.; Varik, S.U.; Gauns, M. (Elsevier, 2018)In a mangrove environment, several groups of organisms are symbiotically associated with pneumatophores (aerial roots). But whether these organisms are exclusively found in this habitat (uniqueness) or accidentally settled ... -
Epibiotic community on the acorn barnacle (Balanus amphitrite) from a monsoon-influenced tropical estuary
Sahoo, G.; Khandeparker, L. (Blackwell Verlag GmbH, 2016)The epibiotic communities (diatoms and metazoans) on the outer surfaces of the shell of the barnacle Balanus amphitrite (BSh) and its opercular valves (the scutum and tergum; BST) were investigated on a monthly basis for ... -
Meiofauna-mangrove interaction: A pilot study from a tropical mangrove habitat
Sahoo, G.; Suchiang, S.R.; Ansari, Z.A. (Station Biologique de Roscoff, 2013)We studied meiofauna in the sediments and on the surface of roots of four mangrove vegetation types in Chorao island, Goa, Central West coast of India. A total of 14 taxa were recorded from the mangrove roots while 12 taxa ... -
Nitric oxide-Serotonin interplay in the cyprid metamorphosis of Balanus amphitrite (Cirripedia, Thoracica)
Sahoo, G.; Khandeparker, L. (Elsevier, 2018)Nitric Oxide (NO) signaling is known to govern the cyprid metamorphosis of barnacle Balanus amphitrite, a potential biofouling organism. This signaling cascade is mainly driven by two important enzymes, Nitric Oxide Synthase ... -
Role of epibiotic diatoms isolated from the barnacle shell in the cyprid metamorphosis of Balanus amphitrite
Sahoo, G.; Khandeparker, L. (Springer International Publishing, 2018)Barnacle shell (BSh)-associated bacteria, their culture supernatants (CS), and biofilm exopolymers (BE) are known to induce cyprid metamorphosis of Balanus amphitrite. Besides bacteria, the BSh also harbors diatoms. However, ... -
Seasonality and vertical distribution of epiphytic diatoms on the pneumatophore surface of mangrove Avicennia officinalis L.
Sahoo, G.; Ansari, Z.A. (Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2018)Mangrove pneumatophores (respiratory roots) form a unique habitat about which very little ecological information is available. In this study, epiphytic diatoms on the pneumatophore surface of Avicennia officinalis (L.) ...
