Molecular evidence of fungal signatures in the marine protist Corallochytrium limacisporum and its implications in the evolution of animals and fungi
(Elsevier, 2006)
Fungi, animals and single-celled organisms belonging to the choanozoans together constitute the supergroup Opisthokonta. The latter are considered crucial in understanding the evolutionary origin of animals and fungi. ...
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 ...
Extremophilic microbes: Diversity and perspectives
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2005)
A variety of microbes inhabit extreme environments. Extreme is a relative term, which is viewed compared to what is normal for human beings. Extreme envi-ronments include high temperature, pH, pressure, salt concentration, ...
Microscale response of sediment variables to benthic disturbance in the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Taylor and Francis, 2000)
The response of sediment bacteria and biochemical variables to benthic disturbance was investigated in the Central Indian Ocean Basin from cores at nine stations. Generally, bacterial density and biochemical variables ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Fungi from marine habitats: Application in bioremediation
(Elsevier, 2000)
This paper synthesizes the work done on decolourization of bleach plant effluent and synthetic dyes using fungi from marine habitats. Three fungi obtained from marine habitats removed up to 60-95% of Kraft paper mill bleach ...
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) ...
Effect of shallow-water venting in Azores on a few marine biota
(Station Biologique de Roscoff, 2006)
The 1000 m high D. Joao de Castro seamount lies in the middle of the Azores Archipelago (Portugal) on the hyperslow-spreading Terceira rift in the Atlantic. Hydrothermal vents were found near the top of the seamount and ...
