Microbial community structure of surface sediments from a tropical estuarine environment using next generation sequencing
(Elsevier, 2017)
Microbial community structure was analyzed from tropical monsoon influenced Mandovi-Zuari (Ma-Zu) estuarine sediment by means of Next Gen Sequencing (NGS) approach using Ion Torrent PGM™. The sequencing generated 80,282 ...
Characterisation of the bacteria associated with barnacle, Balanus amphitrite, shell and their role in gregarious settlement of cypris larvae
(Elsevier, 2012)
The acorn barnacle Balanus amphitrite (syn. Amphibalanus amphitrite) is a model organism to investigate pelago-benthic transitions in marine invertebrates. A driver for larval settlement in this organism is the need to ...
Role of conspecific cues and sugars in the settlement of cyprids of the barnacle, Balanus amphitrite
(The Zoological Society of London, 2011)
Gregarious settlement in barnacle is attributed to the settlement-inducing protein complex of cuticular glycoprotein, arthropodin. In this study, we characterized arthropodin protein complex (APC) from crude protein extracts ...
Immuno-modulation of settlement cues in the barnacle, Amphibalanus amphitrite: significance of circulating haemocytes
(Springer International Publishing, 2019)
Gregarious settlement in barnacles has been attributed to chemical cues originating from the associated microorganisms, lectins, and settlement-inducing protein complex from arthropodin, a glycoprotein present in their ...
Microbial dynamics in a tropical monsoon influenced estuary: Elucidation through field observations and microcosm experiments on biofilms
(Elsevier, 2017)
The changes that occur in biofilms reflect the influence of the environment. In a case study, the biofilms developed along a salinity gradient from marine to freshwater in a tropical monsoon influenced estuary (Zuari, west ...
Ecosystem response in temperature fronts in the northeastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2018)
Productivity is low in tropical waters outside the traditional upwelling regimes, making temperature fronts a potential marker of fish. To test the hypothesis that all temperature fronts harbour high concentrations of ...
Quantification of the energy required for the destruction of Balanus Amphitrite larva by ultrasonic treatment
(Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2010)
Ultrasonic treatment, a relatively less explored technology in water disinfection, was used to quantify the energy required for the destruction of larvae of barnacle Balanus amphitrite, which is a major marine fouling and ...
Application of Fluorescence in situ hybridization-Flow cytometry (FISH-FCM) technique to detect and quantify Vibrio cholerae population from different geographic regions
(ASEAN Committee on Science and Technology (COST), 2018)
Rapid and species-specific detection, and quantification of pathogenic bacteria are fundamental for monitoring and assessment of the risk they pose to any ecosystem. The study employed Vibrio cholerae, a human pathogen ...
Larval development, sensory mechanisms and physiological adaptions in acorn barnacles with special reference to Balanus amphitrite
(Elsevier, 2010)
Barnacles have drawn the attention of many naturalists and often dominate fouling communities. Balanus amphitrite, is a shallow water acorn barnacle capable of inhabiting expanses from supralittoral to subtidal levels, and ...
Interactions of bacteria with diatoms: Influence on natural marine biofilms.
(John Wiley & Sons, 2014)
Interactions between microfouling components influence the biofilm community and the cascading events, thus playing an important role in the biofouling process. Bacteria and diatoms are among the dominant forms reported ...
