    • Abundance, viability and culturability of Antarctic bacteria 

      LokaBharathi, P.A.; DeSouza, M.J.B.D.; Nair, S.; Chandramohan, D. (Department of Ocean Development, New Delhi, India, 1999)
      The viability of total number of bacteria decide the mineralisation rate in any ecosystem and ultimately the fertility of the region. This study aims at establishing the extent of viability in the standing stock of the ...
    • Alkaline phosphatase activity at the southwest coast of India: A comparison of locations differently affected by upwelling.. 

      Mamatha, S.S.; Malik, A.; Varik, S.; Parvathi, V.; Jineesh, V.K.; Gauns, M.; LokaBharathi, P.A. (Elsevier, 2015)
      The realization of the potential importance of phosphorus (P) as a limiting nutrient in marine ecosystem is increasing globally. Hence, the contribution of biotic variables in mobilizing this nutrient would be relevant ...
    • Biological characteristics as a part of pollution monitoring studies 

      Nair, V.R.; Govindan, K. (University of Cochin, 1986)
      Ecosystem modifications can be considered as an integral part of any pollution monitoring studies and in such cases community structure/diversity is of prime importance. Considering this advantage of aquatic life, pelagic ...
