Marine sponges: a potential source of eco-friendly antifouling compounds
Wagh, A.B.; Thakur, N.L.; Anil, A.C.; Venkat, K. (US Office of Naval Research, 1997)Antifouling protocols rely to a great extent on the application of paints or altering substratum characteristics. It has been evidence that commercial antifouling paints which are currently in use employ toxic biocides. ... -
Marine-derived antimicrobial molecules from the sponges and their associated bacteria
Devkar, H.U.; Thakur, N.L.; Kaur, Parvinder (Canadian Science Publishing, Ottawa, Canada, 2023)Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the leading global health issues that demand urgent attention.Very soon the world will have to bear the consequences of increased drug resistance if new anti-infectives are not ... -
Modulation of LPS induced inflammatory response by Lawsonyl monocyclic terpene from the marine derived Streptomyces sp.
Ali, A.; Khajuria, A.; Sidiq, T.; AshokKumar; Thakur, N.L.; Naik, D.; Vishwakarma, R.A. (Elsevier, 2013)In continuing research for compounds with immunosuppressive activity, Lawsonone (1), a novel Lawsonyl derivative isolated from marine-derived bacteria Streptomyces sp. was evaluated for its potent immunosuppressive activity ... -
Molecular cross-talk between sponge host and associated microbes
Wang, X.; Brandt, D.; Thakur, N.L.; Wiens, M.; Batel, R.; Schroder, H.C.; Muller, W.E.G. (Springer, 2013)Marine organisms especially those that live sessile, as sponges, are well known to have specific relationships with a great variety of microorganisms including bacteria and fungi. As most simple metazoan phylum, the Porifera, ... -
Observations of the likelihood of asexual reproduction in sea anemone Bunodosoma goanense den Hartog & Vennam, 1993
Menezes, C.P.C.; Thakur, N.L. (Springer, 2022)Sea anemones are marine benthic invertebrates belonging to the class Anthozoa within the phylum Cnidaria that are known to reproduce sexually, asexually, or both.This publication hypothesizes the possibility of asexual ... -
Progression of regeneration in demosponge Cinachyrella cf cavernosa based on wound location
Deshpande, A.; Thakur, N.L. (Springer, 2020)In this study, the differential regeneration process in sponge Cinachyrella cf cavernosa (Lamarck, 1815) was examined by creating wounds at basal and apical tissues. The differences in wound healing were investigated based ... -
Significance of investigating allelopathic interactions of marine organisms in the discovery and development of cytotoxic compounds
Singh, A.; Thakur, N.L. (Elsevier, 2016)Marine sessile organisms often inhabit rocky substrata, which are crowded by other sessile organisms. They acquire living space via growth interactions and/or by allelopathy. They are known to secrete toxic compounds having ... -
Spatial and temporal distribution of fungi and wood-borers in the coastal tropical waters of Goa, India
Vishwakiran, Y.; Thakur, N.L.; Raghukumar, S.; Yennawar, P.L.; Anil, A.C. (Walter de Gruyter Berlin, 2001)Marine wood-degrading fungi are believed to contribute to the settlement and growth of wood-borers in the sea. However, little information is available on the association between species of these two groups of organisms. ... -
Temperature- and size-associated differences in the skeletal structures and osculum cross-sectional area influence the pumping rate of contractile sponge Cinachyrella cf. cavernosa
Dahihande, A.S.; Thakur, N.L. (2019)Sponges alter the proportion of structural and morphological components such as spicule skeleton and number of oscula in response to environment, development and growth. Such mechanisms indicate morphological and physiological ... -
Temporal variation in macroinvertebrates associated with intertidal sponge Ircinia fusca (Carter 1880) from Ratnagiri, West coast, India.
Sivadas, S.K.; Redij, A.G.S.; Sagare, P.; Thakur, N.L.; Ingole, B.S. (CSIR-NISCAIR, 2014)Temporal variation of macrofauna associated with a marine sponge, Ircinia fusca was studied from a tropical rocky shore along the West coast of India. Triplicate sponge samples (~100 g) were collected from January to ... -
TNF-a and IL-6 inhibitory effects of cyclic dipeptides isolated from marine bacteria Streptomyces sp.
Nalli, Y.; Gupta, S.; Khajuria, V.; Singh, Varun; Sajgotra, M.; Ahmed, Z.; Thakur, N.L.; Ali, A. (Springer and Business Media, 2017)Inflammation is mediated by a variety of soluble factors, including a group of secreted polypeptides known as cytokines. The anti-inflammatory cytokines are a series of immune regulatory molecules that control the pro ... -
Understanding our seas: National Institute of Oceanography, Goa
Naqvi, S.W.A.; Afzulpurkar, S.; Anil, A.C.; Chakraborty, P.; Dewangan, P.; Desai, D.V.; DeSouza, L.; Kessarkar, P.M.; Khandeparker, L.; Krishna, K.S.; Kurian, S.; Madhan, R.; Mascarenhas, A.A.M.Q.; Mazumdar, A.; Maurya, P.; Murty, V.S.N.; Nath, B.N.; Naik, H.; Navelkar, G.S.; PrasannaKumar, S.; Rao, V.P.; RameshKumar, M.R.; Ravichandran, C.; SanilKumar, V.; Saraswat, R.; Sarma, V.V.S.S.; Shankar, D.; Sharma, R.; Shenoy, D.M.; Suneel, V.; Thakur, N.L.; Unnikrishnan, A.S.; Vethamony, P.; Yatheesh, V. (Current Science Association, 2015)The present article summarizes the research done at the CSIR–National Institute of Oceanography in 2014 in ocean science, resources and technology. Significant research has been conducted on air–sea interactions and coastal ... -
