Diversity and adaptations of deep-sea microorganisms
(I.K. International, New Delhi, 2005)The discovery of near fresh closed lunch box found after 11 months in the wreck of the submersible Alvin in the year 1969 opened up a Pandora’s box of microbial diversity in the deep-sea. Discovery that near-freezing ... -
Biological deinking of inkjet-printed paper using Vibrio alginolyticus and its enzymes
(Society for Industrial Microbiology, 2005)Recycling of office waste paper (photocopy, inkjet and laser prints) is a major problem due to difficulty in removal of non-impact ink. Biological deinking of office waste paper is reported using several microorganisms and ... -
Stress response of two coral species in the Kavaratti atoll of the Lakshadweep Archipelago, India
(Springer-Verlag, 2005)Frequent occurrences of coral bleaching and the ensuing damage to coral reefs have generated interest in documenting stress responses that precede bleaching.. The objective of this study was to assess and compare physiological ... -
Enhanced production of laccase by a marine fungus during treatment of colored effluents and synthetic dyes
(Elsevier, 2006)Paper and pulp mills, textile and dye-making industries and alcohol distilleries release highly colored effluents that are relatively difficult to decolorize by chemical and physical treatments. White-rot basidiomycetous ... -
Fungi in deep-sea sediments of the Central Indian Basin
(Elsevier, 2006)Although a great amount of information is available on bacteria inhabiting deep-sea sediments, the occurrence of fungi in this environment has been poorly studied and documented. We report here the occurrence of fungi in ... -
Marine Bioinvasion: An Overview
(National Institute of Oceanography, Goa, 2002)Shipping is the backbone of global economy and facilitates transportation of 90% of commodities. A single bulk cargo ship of 200,000 tones can carry up to 60,000 tones of ballast water. It is estimated that 12 billion tones ... -
Recruitment of the barnacle Balanus amphitrite Darwin in a tropical estuary: implications of environmental perturbation, reproduction and larval ecology
(Cambridge University Press, 2005)Phytoplankton blooms are known to influence barnacle recruitment and in boreal regions spring blooms work as an important trigger. Close to the west coast of the sub-continent of India, blooms tend to be triggered by breaks ... -
Studies on ecology of diatoms
(2003)Diatoms are abundant in the phytoplankton and phytobenthos of aquatic ecosystems, whatever the latitude. Within the aquatic realm, diatoms further extend their habitats from the pelagic to benthic environment and are also ... -
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 ... -
Seasonal beach profiling along Malvan and Kotharwadi coast , southern Maharashtra, central west coast of India.
(National Institute of Oceanography, Goa., 2006)Seasonal morphological variations and effect of oceanographic processes such as erosion or accretion along beaches are important to understand the nature of the beach and the cyclic changes occurring during different ... -
Studies on some cues regulating metamorphosis of the larvae of Balanus amphitrite (Cirripedia: Thoracica)
(2002)Recruitment of the larvae of fouling organisms and their metamorphosis is the most important step in the fouling process. Cypris larvae does a substratum search before undergoing metamorphosis. The third antennular segment ... -
Studies on some ecological aspects of Balanus amphitrite (Cirripedia: Thoracica)
(2002)The year round breeding capability of Balanus amphitrite indicates a potential for continuous recruitment. The recruitment pattern however indicated a lull during monsoon. The study site experiences increased land run off ... -
Eco-biology of marine diatoms with emphasis on the influence of physico-chemical parameters
(2003)Diatoms constitute an important part of the microphytobenthic community in the intertidal sand flat. Intertidal sandflats are dynamic environments, where the tidally generated water movement and the associated processes ... -
Xylanases of marine fungi of potential use for biobleaching of paper pulp
(Society for Industrial Microbiology, 2004)Microbial xylanases that are thermostable, active at alkaline pH and cellulasefree are generally preferred for biobleaching of paper pulp.. We screened obligate and facultative marine fungi for xylanase activity with these ... -
Simultaneous detoxification and decolorization of molasses spent wash by the immobilized white-rot fungus Flavodon flavus isolated from a marine habitat
(Elsevier, 2004)The wastewaters of molasses-based alcohol distilleries contain brown colored melanoidin pigments that are one of the major pollutants. We reported decolorization of such intensely brown colored molasses spent wash (MSW) ... -
Buried in time: Culturable fungi in a deep-sea sediment core from the Chagos Trench, Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2004)The recovery of culturable microorganisms from ancient materials, ranging from a few thousand to several million years old, has generated interest in the long-term survival capabilities of micrororganisms. We report the ... -
Sea level changes along the Indian coast: Observations and projections
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2006)Sea level changes can be of two types: (i) changes in the mean sea level and (ii) changes in the extreme sea level. The former is a global phenomenon while the latter is a regional phenomenon. Estimates of mean sea level ... -
Ocean wave forecasting using recurrent neural networks
(Elsevier, 2006)The tremendous increase in offshore operational activities demands improved waveforecasting techniques. With the knowledge of accurate wave conditions, it is possible to carry out the marine activities such as offshore ... -
Ballast Water Risk Assessment, Ports of Mumbai and Jawaharlal Nehru, India, October 2003: Final Report
(International Maritime Organization, 2003)This report describes the BWRA activity undertaken for the neighbouring ports of Mumbai and Jawaharlal Nehru, which form the Mumbai Demonstration Site and are managed by the Mumbai Port Trust (MPT) and Jawaharlal Nehru ... -
Development and implementation of cellular-based real-time reporting and internet accessible coastal sea-level gauge - A vital tool for monitoring storm surge and tsunami
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2006)We describe the development and implementation of real-time reporting and Internet-accessible coastal sealevel gauge, wherein data communication between the gauge and an Internet server has been established through a ...
