Fungi and macroaggregation in deep-sea sediments
(Springer, 2008)
Whereas fungi in terrestrial soils have been well studied, little is known of them in deep-sea sediments. Recent studies have demonstrated the presence of fungal hyphae in such sediments but in low abundance. We present ...
Deep-sea fungi
(ASM Press, 2008)
The deep-sea environment, despite being rich in mineral nutrients and near-saturation levels of oxygen, because of its darkness is not conducive to photosynthesis, the process that sustains life on earth. If a liigh abundance ...
Microbial biomass and organic nutrients in the deep-sea sediments of the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Taylor and Francis, 2001)
In order to assess the impact of deep-sea mining on the in situ benthic life, the microbial standing stock and concentration of organic nutrients in the deep-sea sediments of the Central Indian Ocean Basin in the Indian ...
Brevibacterium oceanic sp. nov., isolated from deep-sea sediment of the Chagos Trench, Indian Ocean
(The Society for General Microbiology, 2008)
Two bacterial strains, designated BBH5 and BBH7 sup(T), were isolated from a deep-sea sediment sample collected from the Chagos Trench of the Indian Ocean (11 degrees 6 minutes S 72 degrees 31 minutes E). Based on their ...
A thermostable metal-tolerant laccase with bioremediation potential from a marine-derived fungus
(Springer, 2009)
Laccase, an oxidoreductive enzyme, is important in bioremediation. Although marine fungi are potential sources of enzymes for industrial applications, they have been inadequately explored. The fungus MTCC 5159, isolated ...
Effects and interactions of medium components on laccase from a marine-derived fungus using response surface methodology
(Molecular Diversity Preservation International, 2009)
The effects of various synthetic medium components and their interactions with each other ultimately impact laccase production in fungi. This was studied using a laccase-hyper-producing marine-derived basidiomycete, Cerrena ...
Long-term changes in microbial and biochemical parameters in the Central Indian Basin
(Elsevier, 2006)
Natural kilometer-scale spatial variability and seasonal variability in deepsea sediments at ~5000 m depth was studied at 2 reference sites in the Central Indian Basin. Biochemical parameters such as the labile organic ...
Life in the oceanic realms
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2007)
The marine environment includes the nutrient-rich coastal waters, relatively nutrient-poor open oceanic waters, coral reef atolls, metal-rich hydrothermal vent fluids with temperatures of 200-350°C, cold-seeps, estuaries, ...
Effect of nutrient nitrogen on laccase production, its isozyme pattern and effluent decolorization by the fungus NIOCC No. 2a, isolated from mangrove wood
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2006)
Carbon and nitrogen sources in the growth medium play an important role in the production of lignin-degrading enzymes in the white-rot basidiomyceteous fungi. The role of nutrient nitrogen sources in growth media on ...
Spore germination of fungi belonging to Aspergillus species under deep-sea conditions
(Elsevier, 2008)
Wind-blown dry fungal spores and mycelial fragments from the nearest landmass or terrestrial run-off may find their way to the deep sea by hitching a ride on other sinking detrital particles. Once in the deep, they are ...
