Post-capture immune gene expression studies in the deep-sea hydrothermal vent mussel Bathymodiolus azoricus acclimatized to atmospheric pressure
(Elsevier, 2015)
Deep-sea hydrothermal vents are extreme habitats that are distributed worldwide in association with volcanic and tectonic events, resulting thus in the establishment of particular environmental conditions, in which high ...
Regulating gonad inhibition and vitellogenin/vitellin induction in Penaeus monodon using mature GIH fusion protein and polyclonal antisera
(Elsevier, 2017)
Gonad inhibiting hormone (GIH), type II class of the CHH family neuropeptides, is released by the neurohaemal XO-SG complex of the eyestalk. The inhibitory function of GIH has a pivotal role in gonad development and ...
Biodegradation of crude oil using marine Bacillus species from Vadinar coast, Gujarat, India
(Current Science Association, 2017)
The marine environment is open to large sources of toxic organic waste in the form of accidental oil spills. Therefore, it is important to study microbial degradation processes that help reduce the damage caused to the ...
Marinobacter nitratireducens sp. nov., a halophilic and lipolytic bacterium isolated from coastal surface sea water
(International Union of Microbiological Societies, 2015)
A novel Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, motile bacterium, designated strain AK21<sup>T</sup> , was isolated from coastal surface sea water at Visakhapatnam, India. The strain was positive for oxidase, catalase, lipase, ...
Genotoxic potency of mercuric chloride in gill cells of marine gastropod Planaxis sulcatus using comet assay
(Springer, 2015)
In vivo and in vitro exposures were used to investigate the genotoxicity of mercuric chloride (HgCl<sub>2</sub>) to the marine snail, Planaxis sulcatus. The comet assay protocol was validated on gill cells exposed in vitro ...
Attenuation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa virulence by marine invertebrate–derived Streptomyces sp.
(John Wiley & Sons, 2012)
The study aimed to discover quorum sensing (QS) inhibitors from marine sponge-derived actinomycetes and analyse its inhibitory activities against QS-mediated virulence factors in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Seventy-two ...
Antibacterial activity of mangrove leaf extracts against human pathogens
(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, ...
PCR detection of ansA from marine bacteria and its sequence characteristics from Bacillus tequilensis NIOS4
(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co., 2014)
As many as 71 marine bacterial DNA extracts were PCR screened for L-asparaginase (ansA), a key gene in anti-cancer molecular-searches. Over 62% (44) of them were positive for ansA gene. The positive cultures were from ...
An integrated approach to study the biomarker responses in marine gastropod Nerita chamaeleon environmentally exposed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
(ISJ, 2017)
Ecological risk assessment using multiple biomarkers produce a large amount of data that is hard to interpret and the result are often contradictory. In this context, Integrated Biomarker Response (IBR) index was used to ...
Antioxidative metabolites synthesized by marine pigmented vibrio sp. and its protection on oxidative deterioration of membrane lipids
(Springer, 2016)
Bacterial strain Vibrio sp. (PIGB 184) isolated from water samples of the Arabian Sea and identified through 16S rRNA demonstrated the production of pigmentary antioxidants with higher ABTS activities 90.9±0.42 % in ...
