Diversity of nitrite reductase genes (nirS) in the denitrifying water column of the coastal Arabian Sea
(Inter-Research, 2004)Denitrification often occurs in the water column, underlying zones of intense productivity and decomposition in upwelling regions. In the denitrifying zone off the southwest coast of India, high concentrations of nitrite ... -
Enhanced production of polyunsaturated fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid by thraustochytrid protists
(Springer, 2004)The polyunsaturated fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an important requirement in the human diet. It is also essential in the nutrition of crustaceans and aquaculture animals. Of the sources available for commercial ... -
Biological productivity and potential resources of the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of India
(Fishery Survey of India, 2004)An assessment of the biological production and the potential fishery resources has been made based on the data collected over a period of 15 years (1976-1991). The entire Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), measuring 2.02 million ... -
Culturable epibacteria of the marine sponge Ircinia fusca: Temporal variations and their possible role in the epibacterial defense of the host
(Inter-Research, 2004)The influence of environmental changes on the epibacterial population of the marine sponge Ircinia fusca (Carter) was evaluated by using a bacterial culture-based approach. Sponge surface-associated bacteria were isolated, ... -
Biological active anthraquinone analogs from the fungus Eurotium sp.
(National Institute of Ocean Technology, 2004)Four known anthraquinones: Physcion, fluoroglaucin, catenarin and alaternin as well as a cyclic dipeptide with a triprenylated indole moiety, echinulin were purified from acetone extract of the mycelial mats of the fungus ... -
The impact of food type, temperature and starvation on larval development of Balanus amphitrite Darwin (Cirripedia: Thoracica)
(Elsevier, 2004)The impact of diatom food species (Chaetoceros calcitrans and Skeletonema costatum), temperature and starvation on the larval development of Balanus amphitrite was evaluated. Starvation threshold levels for different ages ... -
Indian satellite IRS-P4 (OCEANSAT). Monitoring algal blooms in the Arabian Sea
