Microbacterium indicum sp. nov., isolated from deep-sea sediment sample from the Chagos Trench, Indian Ocean
(International Union Of Microbiological Societies, 2007)
Two bacterial starins, BBH6 sup(T) and BBH9, were isolated from deep-sea sediment sample collected from the Chagos Trench, Indian Ocean, at a depth of 5904 m. The two strains were closely related in their 16S rRNA gene ...
Fungi in Porites lutea: Association with healthy and diseased corals
(Inter-Research, 2001)
Healthy and diseased scleractinian corals have been reported to harbour fungi. However, the species of fungi occurring in them and their prevalence in terms of biomass have not been determined and their role in coral ...
Bacterial growth efficiency in the tropical estuarine and coastal waters of Goa, southwest coast of India
(Springer, 2003)
Bacterial growth efficiency (BGE) is an index of organic carbon passing through bacteria in an aquatic system. BGE values of natural bacterioplankton assemblages were measured in tropical estuarine and adjacent coastal ...
Marine microbiology: A glimpse of the strides in the Indian and the global arena
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 2001)
The chapter reviews the development in marine microbiology in the national and international arena. It traces salient features from the pre-Zobell era to the mid 1990s. The studies in India have just made a beginning into ...
Detection of luciferase gene sequences in nonluminescent bacteria from the Chesapeake Bay
(FEMS, 2000)
A 745-bp luxA fragment was amplified from Vibrio harveyi (UM 1503), radiolabeled, and used as a probe to detect and quantify luxA genotypes in culturable bacterial populations from the Chesapeake Bay. DNA samples from 53 ...
'Trade-off' in Antarctic bacteria: limnetic psychrotrophs concede multiple enzyme expressions for multiple metal resistance
(Springer, 2007)
The present study examines the metal and antibiotic resistant bacteria in ice and water from lakes east and west of the Indian base camp (Maitri) in Antarctica. The isolates from western and eastern lakes showed distinct ...
Bioremediation of coloured pollutants by terrestrial versus facultative marine fungi
(Fungal Diversity Press; Hong Kong; China, 2002)
Lignin is a most complex heteropolymer and does not contain identical, readily hydrolysable repeating linkages at regular intervals as in other natural polymers such as cellulose, protein or nucleic acids. The random nature ...
Bacterial production, glucosidase activity and particle-associated carbohydrates in Dona Paula bay, west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2008)
Size-fractionated bacterial production, abundance and Alpha - and Beta - glucosidase enzyme activities were studied with respect to changes in hydrography, total suspended matter (TSM), chlorophyll a, particulate organic ...
Mercury and lead tolerance in hypersaline sulfate-reducing bacteria
(Pergamon, 2002)
Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) HSR 1, HSR 4, and HSR 14 isolated from the salt pans of Goa, India grew best at 90-100 ppt salinity on substrates like formate, acetate, lactate, butyrate, ethanol and benzoate. They were ...
Salinity-induced survival strategy of Vibrio cholerae associated with copepods in Cochin backwaters
(Elsevier, 2006)
The occurrence of Vibrio cholerae in water, sediment and copepods was studied over a wide range of salinity using conventional and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques in the Cochin backwaters. V. cholerae occurred ...
