Biodiversity and biogeography pattern of benthic communities in the coastal basins of India
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)
Our understanding of coastal biogeography patterns is presently limited to certain regions and marine groups. Comprehending large-scale patterns and their underlying predictors is critical due to the changing environmental ...
Community structure and coral health status across the depth gradients of Grande Island, Central west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2016)
The Grande Island, located at the central west coast of India is one of the less studied coral reef systems in India. In this study, we provide a comprehensive description of the coral community structure and health status ...
Diversity and activity of methanotrophic related bacteria in subsurface sediments of the Krishna-Godavari Basin, India
(Current Science Association, 2016)
The present study assesses the distribution, diversity and activity of aerobic methanotrophic related bacteria (MRB) dwelling in Krishna-Godavari (KG) basin, India. The counts of MRB ranged from non-detectable(ND) to 8.6 ...
Bacterial diversity in relatively pristine and anthropogenically-influenced mangrove ecosystems (Goa, India)
(Sociedade Brasileira de Microbiologia, 2014)
To appreciate differences in benthic bacterial community composition at the relatively pristine Tuvem and the anthropogenically-influenced Divar mangrove ecosystems in Goa, India, parallel tag sequencing of the V6 region ...
Deep-sea nematode assemblages from a commercially important polymetallic nodule area in the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)
The Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB) is an important area for prospective mining for polymetallic nodules. However, little is known about the biodiversity or community structure of abyssal benthic assemblages in the area. ...
Antioxidative metabolites synthesized by marine pigmented vibrio sp. and its protection on oxidative deterioration of membrane lipids
(Springer, 2016)
Bacterial strain Vibrio sp. (PIGB 184) isolated from water samples of the Arabian Sea and identified through 16S rRNA demonstrated the production of pigmentary antioxidants with higher ABTS activities 90.9±0.42 % in ...
Apparent grazing losses of Labyrinthulomycetes protists in oceanic and coastal waters: An experimental elucidation
(Springer, 2015)
Labyrinthulomycetes are unicellular eukaryotes known for their ability to synthesize polyunsaturated fatty acids that are essential for growth and development of zooplankton. But relationship of these microorganisms with ...
Epiphytic marine pigmented bacteria : A prospective source of natural antioxidants
(Sociedade Brasileira de Microbiologia; Brazil, 2015)
Awareness on antioxidants and its significance in human healthcare has increased many folds in recent time. Increased demand requisite on welcoming newer and alternative resources for natural antioxidants. Seaweed associated ...
Tumour-like anomaly of copepods-an evaluation of the possible causes in Indian marine waters
(Springer, 2016)
Globally, tumour-like anomalies (TLA) in copepods and the critical assessment of their possible causes are rare. The exact causative factor and ecological consequences of TLA in copepods are still unclear and there is no ...
