Use of a chiA probe for detection of chitinase genes in bacteria from the Chesapeake Bay
(FEMS, 2000)
PCR primers specific for the chiA gene were designed by alignment and selection of highly conserved regions of chiA sequences from Serratia marcescens, Alteromonas sp., Bacillus circulans and Aeromonas caviae. These primers ...
Quantitative analyses of denitrifying bacterial diversity from a seasonally hypoxic monsoon governed tropical coastal region
(Elsevier, 2018)
Microbial community mediated denitrification leads to nitrate reduction and, its eventual removal from marine ecosystems. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the functional diversity in terms of the abundance and types ...
Microbial community response during the iron fertilization experiment LOHAFEX
(American Society for Microbiology, 2012)
Iron fertilization experiments in high nutrient-low chlorophyll areas are known to induce phytoplankton blooms. However, little is known about the response of the microbial community upon iron fertilization. As part of the ...
Full-length cloning and phylogenetic analyses of translationally controlled tumour protein and ferritin genes from the Indian white prawn, Fenneropenaeus indicus (H. Milne Edwards)
(John Wiley, 2014)
Elucidation, through molecular analyses, of bacterial afflictions in commercially important aquaculture- reared shrimps is pivotal for the prevention and/or control of disease outbreaks. In this study, we examined the ...
Influence of environmental forcings on the seasonality of dissolved oxygen and nutrients in the Bay of Bengal
(Yale University, 2007)
Studies on seasonal variability of oxygen and nutrients during three seasons namely SW monsoon, fall intermonsoon and spring intermonsoon indicate influence of physical forcings on the distribution of these hydrochemical ...
Morphometry and cell volumes of diatoms from a tropical estuary of India
(NISCAIR, India, 2009)
Cell volumes and per cell carbon contents of different diatoms (10 centric, 14 pennate and 1 dinoflagellate) collected from Dona Paula Bay in the central west coast of India have been analyzed. Morphometric information on ...
Marine bioinvasion: Concern for ecology and shipping
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2002)
Marine bioinvasion - introduction of marine organisms alien to local ecosystem through ship hulls and ballast water - has serious consequences to native biota, fishery and general coastal ecosystem. Over 80% of the world ...
Mesozooplankton community in the Bay of Bengal (India): Spatial variability during the summer monsoon
(Springer, 2009)
This study addresses the spatial variability in mesozooplankton biomass and composition in the Central and Western Bay of Bengal (India) during the summer monsoon season of 2001. Perennially warmer sea surface temperatures ...
Potential of mercury-resistant marine bacteria for detoxification of chemicals of environmental concern
(The Japanese Society of Microbial Ecology, 2007)
The hypothesis that mercury-resistant bacteria exposed to polluted environments such as coastal areas can tolerate, detoxify, or biotransform a variety of other toxicants was examined. Several mercury-resistant marine ...
Diversity and abundance of denitrifying and anammox bacteria from the Arabian Sea oxygen minimum zone
(Elsevier, 2018)
Bacterial community involved in nitrogen transformations in the oxygen minimum zones (OMZ) with dissolved oxygen (DO) levels below 0.5-ml-L-1 is ascribed to be responsible for the reported 40% losses of fixed nitrogen. The ...
