Bio-prospecting of coral (Porites lutea) mucus associated bacteria, Palk Bay reefs, Southeast coast of India
Ahila, N.K.; Prakash, S.; Manikandan, B.; Ravindran, J.; Prabhu, N.M.; Kannapiran, E. (Elsevier, 2017)Coral mucus is one of the key localization in the coral holobiont, as this serves as an energy rich substrate for a wide range of abundant, diverse and multifunctional microbiota. However, very little is known about the ... -
Studies on methanogenic consortia associated with mangrove sediments of Ennore.
Ahila, N.K.; Kannapiran, E.; Ravindran, J.; Ramkumar, V.S. (Triveni Enterprise, 2014)In this study, methanogenic consortia were isolated and characterized from eight different sediment samples of mangrove ecosystem located in Ennore, Chennai. Out of eight samples, two consortia (SpR6 and SSS8) were consistent ... -
Synthesis and characterization of silver and gold nanoparticles using aqueous extract of seaweed, turbinaria conoides, and their antimicrofouling activity
Vijayan, S.R.; Santhiyagu,, P.; Singamuthu, M.; Ahila, N.K.; Ravindran, J.; Ethiraj, K. (Hindawi Publishing, 2014)Silver and gold nanoparticles were synthesized using an aqueous extract of the seaweed Turbinaria conoides and their antibiofilm activity against marine biofilm forming bacteria is reported here. The UV-Vis spectra showed ... -
Synthesis of stable nanosilver particles (AgNPs) by the proteins of seagrass Syringodium isoetifolium and its biomedicinal properties
Ahila, N.K.; Ramkumar, V.S.; Prakash, S.; Manikandan, B.; Ravindran, J.; Dhanalakshmi, P.K.; Kannapirana, E. (Elsevier, 2016)A simple eco-friendly approach for the hasty synthesis of stable, potent and benign silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using seagrass, Syringodium isoetifolium was proposed and described here. The UV–Vis, DLS, XRD, AFM, FESEM, ...
