Rise of the dormant: Simulated disturbance improves culturable abundance, diversity, and functions of deep-sea bacteria of Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Taylor and Francis, 2005)
The abundance of baroduric bacteria from nine sediment cores (0-10 cm below sea floor) was examined for their response to simulated benthic disturbance in the Central Indian basin (CIB). While the total counts of bacteria ...
Seasonal dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) variability in Dona Paula Bay
(Elsevier, 2009)
Data on temporal variations of total dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSPt) and the environmental factors that influence DMSPt concentrations are important in understanding the biogeochemical cycling of organic sulfur compounds. ...
Opisthorchis viverrini: Detection by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in human stool samples
(Elsevier, 2008)
A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay was evaluated for detection of Opisthorchis viverrini eggs in the stool specimens of light and heavily infected individuals in Khon Kaen province of Thailand. A total of 75 fecal ...
Influence of diatom exopolymers and biofilms on metamorphosis in the barnacle Balanus amphitrite
(Inter Research, 2005)
Natural biofilms constitute a complex network of microorganisms (bacteria, diatoms, protozoa, fungi) and their extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), which influence settlement inbenthic invertebrates. The influence of ...
Antibacterial activity of the sponge Ircinia ramosa: Importance of its surface-associated bacteria
(Springer, 2000)
Variations in the antibacterial activity of the sponge Ircinia ramosa were evaluated during two collection periods (January and May) against vicinity fouling bacteria (VFB) and sponge surface-associated bacteria (SAB). The ...
Abundance and production of particle-associated bacteria and their role in a mangrove-dominated estuary
(Inter-Research, 2009)
A 1 yr study was carried out in the mangrove-dominated, tropical Mandovi estuary (Goa, India) to assess the contribution of particle-associated bacteria (PAB) to the system’s variability in terms of abundance and productivity. ...
Bacteriological quality of creeks and marine water bodies in North Goa: Ecosystem upkeep perspectives for tourism-related activities
(Tata Energy Research Institute, India, 2003)
Keeping tourism-related activities in the fore, several relevant bacteriological parameters were studied in depth in North Goa's aquatic ecosystems. Total bacterial abundance and activity for sewage-indicator bacteria and ...
A study on the effects of some laboratory-derived genetic mutations on biofilm formation by Listeria monocytogenes
(Springer, 2009)
Biofilms formed by the human pathogen Listeria monocytogenes in food-processing environments can be a potential source of contamination. In this study, we investigated the ability of L. monocytogenes wild type and its ...
Biochemical and molecular characterizaion of Bacillus pumilus isolated from coastal environment in Cochin, India
(Sociedade Brasileira de Microbiologia, 2009)
Bacillus species constitute a diverse group of bacteria widely distributed in soil and the aquatic environment. In this study, Bacillus strains isolated from the coastal environment of Cochin, India were identified by ...
Microbially mediated redox transformations of manganese (II) along with some other trace elements: a study from Antarctic lakes
(Springer, 2009)
The significance of freshwater systems in global manganese cycles is well appreciated. Yet, the polar systems, which encompass the largest freshwater repository in the world, have been least studied for their role in ...
