The sponge-associated bacterium Bacillus licheniformis SAB1: A source of antimicrobial compounds
(Molecular Diversity Preservation International, 2010)
Several bacterial cultures were isolated from sponge Halichondria sp., collected from the Gujarat coast of the Indo Pacific region. These bacterial cultures were fermented in the laboratory (100 mL) and the culture filtrate ...
Is the biological productivity in the Bay of Bengal light limited?
(Current Science Association, 2010)
Recent measurements of chlorophyll, primary productivity (PP) and nutrients along the central Bay of Bengal (BOB) during summer, fall and spring intermonsoons showed that the northern bay becomes less productive compared ...
Macrofaunal community structure in the western Indian continental margin including the oxygen minimum zone
(Blackwell Verlag GmbH, 2010)
Patterns of macrofaunal distribution were studied along the western Indian continental margin to distinguish the role of habitat heterogeneity in generating and maintaining community structure. A transect perpendicular to ...
Geochemical and mineralogical analysis of stone anchors from west coast of India: Provenance study using thin sections, XRF and SEM-EDS
(Elsevier, 2010)
Stone anchors have been recovered along the Indian coast as a part of the maritime archaeological studies at the National Institute of Oceanography (NIO), Goa, India. Study of stone anchors provides clues to understand the ...
Occurrence of cyanobacteria - diatom symbiosis in the Bay of Bengal: Implications in biogeochemistry
(Current Science Association, 2010)
Diazotrophs (N sub(2) fixing organisms), mainly belonging to cyanobacteria, form a major group of phytoplankton in nutrient poor oligotrophic oceans. These organisms support non-diazotrophic phytoplankton community and ...
Antioxidative potential of Perna viridis and its protective role against ROS induced lipidperoxidation and protein carbonyl
(Association of Biotechnology and pharmacy, 2010)
The antioxidant potential of methanol extracts of green-lipped mussel (Perna viridis) were evaluated using tests such as 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay, reducing potential, scavenging capacity of reactive oxygen ...
Land-ocean tectonics (LOTs) and the associated seismic hazard over the Eastern Continental Margin of India (ECMI)
(Springer, 2010)
The South Indian (Peninsular) Shield which includes both the Eastern and Western Continental Margins of India is not as stable as it was originally thought of. The importance of intraplate seismicity within this Shield has ...
Spatio-temporal variability of dinoflagellate assemblages in different salinity regimes in the west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2010)
General abundance and species composition of dinoflagellate community in different salinity gradients along the coast of Goa (west coast of India) were studied with a view to understand the annual variations in particular ...
Study of age and growth of Indian sand whiting, sillago sihama (Forsskal) from Zuari estuary, Goa
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2010)
Present study consists age and growth of Sillago sihama. Total 1465 fish were collected from Zuari estuary during January 2004-April 2005 as a part of the above study. To evaluate the age at corresponding length, length ...
Exploration and utilization of energy from sea
(S.N. Arts, D.J.M. Commerce and B.N.S. Science College, 2010)
The major sources of energy at present are hydrocarbons (oil, gas and coal), hydroelectric power, and nuclear power. We need to seek alternate sources because of several reasons such as threat of depletion of existing ...
