An intermediate nepheloid layer associated with high microbial metabolic rates and denitrification in the northwest Indian Ocean
(American Geophysical Union, 1993)Extensive optical, physical chemical, and biochemical measurements made simultaneously in the northwest Indian Ocean reveal the occurrence of an intermediate nepheloid layer (INL) invariably associated with the secondary ... -
Association of bacteria with marine invertebrates: Implications for ballast water management
(International Association for Ecology and Health, 2013)Bacteria associated with plankton are of importance in marine bioinvasions and the implementation of ship’s ballast water treatment technologies. In this study, epibiotic and endobiotic bacteria associated with zooplankton, ... -
Bacterial diversity and their adaptations in the shallow water hydrothermal vent at D. Joao de Castro Seamount (DJCS), Azores, Portugal
(Station Biologique de Roscoff, 2012)Bacterial diversity investigations were made from the shallow vent of D joao de castro, Azores, Portugal and their adaptations to a nutrient rich environment was investigated from 2004 and 2005 cruise samples. Assesment ... -
Bacterial Diversity in Deep-Sea Sediments from Afanasy Nikitin Seamount, Equatorial Indian Ocean
(Taylor and Francis, 2014)Deep-sea sediments can reveal much about the last 200 million years of Earth history, including the history of ocean life and climate. Microbial diversity in Afanasy Nikitin seamount located at Equatorial East Indian Ocean ... -
Bacterial utilization of size-fractionated dissolved organic matter
(Inter-Research, 2011)Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is an important source of organic carbon for sustaining the growth of heterotrophic bacteria. The bacterial utilization of high-molecular-weight (HMW; greater than 30 kDa to 0.22 mu m) and ... -
Biofilm-associated indole acetic acid producing bacteria and their impact in the proliferation of biofilm mats in solar salterns
(Institute of Molecular Biology, Slovak Academy of Sciences, 2012)Biofilm mats appear in salterns distinctively during the monsoon season when the salinity decreases below 12 percentile salinity units and within a short period cover the entire surface area of the saltern. A study was ... -
Caldimonas meghalayensis sp. nov., a novel thermophilic betaproteobacterium isolated from a hot spring of Meghalaya in northeast India
(Springer, 2013)While studying the microbial diversity of hot springs of North-east India we isolated a strain AK31<sup>T</sup> from the Jakrem hot spring of Meghalaya. The strain formed light yellow colonies on nutrient agar and was Gram ... -
