Antifungal potential of marine sponge extract against plant and fish pathogenic fungi
(OMICS Group, 2013)
he need for discovery of new antibiotics is imperative because previous evidence suggest that development of resistance to any new antimicrobial agents is inevitable. In addition, compounds not tested for antimicrobial ...
Copper addition helps alleviate iron stress in a coastal diatom: Response of Chaetoceros gracilis from the Bay of Bengal to experimental Cu and Fe addition
(Elsevier, 2013)
Copper (Cu) is a transition metal with multi-oxidation states, and though it plays numerous roles in vital physiological and biochemical pathways including both photosynthesis and respiration, it can potentially be toxic ...
Occurrence of cyanobacteria (Richelia intracellularis)-diatom (Rhizosolenia hebetata) consortium in the Palk Bay, southeast coast of India
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2013)
Symbiotic association of heterocystous cyanobacterium, Richelia intracellularis Schmidt with oceanic centric diatom, Rhizosolenia hebetata is reported from the Palk Bay, southeast coast of India. One to six trichomes of ...
Characteristics of Tides in the Bay of Bengal
(Taylor and Francis, 2013)
A vertically integrated 2D numerical model was developed for the simulation of major tidal constituents (M2, S2, N2, K1 and O1) in the Bay of Bengal. The bathymetry for the model domain was derived from an improved ETOPO5 ...
Stable isotopic analysis of Barnacle larvae and their faecal pellets to evaluate the ingested food
(Elsevier, 2013)
Stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen are useful in the evaluation of food web dynamics and have been used extensively in the feeding studies. Barnacles are dominant component of the intertidal and bio-fouling communities. ...
New records of epibiont Ciliates (Ciliophora) from Indian coast with descriptions of six new species
(Station Biologique de Roscoff, 2013)
Six epibiont ciliates Cothurnia palkensis, C. nova, C. disper, C. dovgali, C. mannaerensis and C. clampi are described as new for science from the Indian coast. Acineta truncata Collin, 1909 and A. tuberosa Ehrenberg, 1834 ...
Spatiotemporal variability in archaeal communities of tropical coastal waters
(Springer, 2013)
Spatiotemporal variations in the archaeal community structure from four locations along the central west coast of India were analyzed by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) profiling and sequencing of prominent ...
Salt intrusion study in Cochin estuary - Using empirical models
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2013)
Intensive measurements of salt intrusion are taken at high and low waters during spring and neap tide for each month respectively from June 2007 to May 2008. Salt intrusion length at high water varied from 10 km in monsoon ...
Role of mesoscale eddies on the variability of biogenic flux in the northern and central Bay of Bengal
(American Geophysical Union, 2013)
Mesoscale cyclonic eddies (cold core) are though known to enhance the phytoplankton biomass in the Bay of Bengal, their contribution to the carbon export to the deep ocean are yet to be quantified. Using biogenic flux data ...
Fungicidal compounds from a marine Ascidian-associated fungus Trichoderma harzianum
(Discovery Publication, 2013)
A marine Ascidian-associated fungus, Trichoderma harzianum, (NIO/BCC2000-51) was assessed for its in vitro antagonistic activity against ten fungal phytopathogens and three food-infesting fungi. Fractionation of the cell-free ...
