Thraustochytrid protists as a component of marine microbial films
(Springer, 2000)
Although ubiquitous in the marine environment, the presence and importance of thraustochytrid fungoid protists in primary film formation of freshly immersed surfaces in the sea have not been investigated. Thraustochytrids ...
Underwater adhesion: The barnacle way
(Elsevier, 2007)
Barnacle cement is an underwater adhesive insoluble protein complex. Marine proteins secreted by the invertebrates such as barnacles and mussels have potential application as powerful adhesives as they insolubilize and ...
Characterization of Bacteria in Ballast Water Using MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry
(Public Library of Science, 2012)
To evaluate a rapid and cost-effective method for monitoring bacteria in ballast water, several marine bacterial isolates were characterized by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry ...
Short term response of plankton community to nutrient enrichment in central eastern Arabian Sea: Elucidation through mesocosm experiments
(Elsevier, 2021)
Oligotrophic waters (OW), generally favour longer food chain facilitated by the microbial loop. In such ecosystems, physical mixing (e.g. upwelling, and winter convection) inject nutrients and propagules from subsurface ...
Fatty acids as indicators of sediment organic matter dynamics in a monsoon-influenced tropical estuary
(Elsevier, 2021)
Sedimentary organic matter (OM) composition serves as a biomarker and helps in hindcast analysis of the events in the habitat. The present study was carried out on a monthly basis to evaluate the contribution of different ...
Environmental influence on the picophytoplankton community structure in the central and northern Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2020)
The Bay of Bengal (BoB) is a low productive, oligotrophic ecosystem. The picophytoplankton (Pico; < 3mu m) play a significant role in the biogeochemistry of such ecosystems. The information on the Pico is exiguous from ...
Factors regulating the production of different inducers in Pseudomonas aeruginosa with reference to larval metamorphosis in Balanus amphitrite
(Inter-Research, 2002)
Gregarious settlement in barnacles has been related to the settlement-inducing compounds from adult conspecifics, bacteria in the biofilms, and their interaction. Elucidation of larval settlement cues from these sources ...
Picophytoplankton community dynamics in a tropical river estuary and adjacent semi-enclosed water body
(Springer, 2021)
The dynamics of picophytoplankton, a vital component of the aquatic microbial food web, are least explored in the river-dominated estuaries, especially those subjected to human modifications that can alter the hydrodynamics ...
Reproduction in Balanus amphitrite Darwin (Cirripedia: Thoracica); influence of temperature and food concentration
(Springer, 2006)
Balanus amphitrite, an acorn barnacle is distinctly euryhaline and eurythermal, and a dominant fouling organism found in warm and temperate waters through out the world. In this study the influence of temperature and food ...
Global concerns of ship`s ballast water mediated translocation of bacteria
(Springer and Business Media, 2017)
Shipping facilitates transportation of over 90% of the world’s commodities and eventually transfers ~10 billion tons of ballast water which is routinely taken aboard vessels to maintain their stability. The ballast water ...
