Spatio-temporal Variations in Bacterial Abundance with an Emphasis on Fecal Indicator Bacteria and Vibrio spp. in and around Visakhapatnam Port, East Coast of India
(UGM Press, 2020)
The ecological health of port environments, which are dynamic and hotspots of anthropogenic activities, can be analyzed using specific pathogenic bacteria as they provide definite evidence and source of pollution. The ...
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 ...
Influence of elevated temperature, pCO2, and nutrients on larva-biofilm interaction: Elucidation with acorn barnacle, Balanus�amphitrite Darwin (Cirripedia: Thoracica)
(Elsevier, 2017)
Selection of optimal habitat by larvae of sessile organism is influenced by cues offered by the biofilm. Ocean warming and acidification are likely to enforce changes in the biofilm community and inturn influence the ...
Dynamics of size-fractionated phytoplankton biomass in a monsoonal estuary: Patterns and drivers for seasonal and spatial variability
(Elsevier, 2018)
Phytoplankton size-fractionated biomass is an important determinant of the type of food web functioning in aquatic ecosystems. Knowledge about the effect of seasonal salinity gradient on the size-fractionated biomass ...
Picophytoplankton Synechococcus as food for nauplii of Amphibalanus amphitrite and Artemia salina
(2019)
The naupliar forms are important intermediaries between microbial and classical food web as they can efficiently graze on autotrophic picophytoplankton and heterotrophic bacteria in diverse aquatic ecosystems. Current ...
An inter-site study of biofouling recruitment on static immersion panels in major ports of South East Asia and India
(ASEAN Committee on Science and Technology (COST), 2018)
Limited knowledge of native marine biodiversity hinders effective biodiversity management to safeguard South and Southeast Asia�s marine coastal environment against the threat of invasive species transfer through shipping. ...
Assessment of phytoplankton photo-physiological status from a tropical monsoonal estuary
(2019)
Assessment of phytoplankton physiological responses to abiotic changes provides valuable insights into the health of an ecosystem. The variable fluorescence (F v = F m -F 0 ), photosynthetic efficiency (F v /F m ), and ...
Benthic dinoflagellate blooms in tropical intertidal rock pools: Elucidation of photoprotection mechanisms
(Springer, 2017)
Intertidal rockpools (RPs), forming a ubiquitous component of rocky shores, are biologically rich ecosystems influenced by short-term (hours-days) and long-term (days-seasons) fluctuating environments. So far, studies on ...
Settlement of non-native Watersipora subtorquata (DeOrbigny, 1852) in artificial collectors deployed in Colombo Port, Sri Lanka
(Regional Euro-Asian Biological Invasions Centre - REABIC, Helsinki, Finland, 2018)
Sri Lanka has been a key node in the historical maritime �silk route� since the 14th century. Colombo Port, with its strategic location in the Indian Ocean, handles most of the country�s foreign cargo. With increased foreign ...
