Denitrification activity in mangrove sediments varies with associated vegetation
(Elsevier, 2016)
To test the hypothesis that mangrove vegetation associated sediment characteristics could influence an ecologically important function such as denitrification, a study was carried out at the Divar mangrove ecosystem in ...
Relationship of sediment-biochemistry, bacterial morphology, and activity to geotechnical properties in the central Indian Basin
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)
Distribution of biochemical properties, morphological and functional characteristics of bacteria in the extreme sedimentary environment of the Central Indian Basin (CIB) was examined in relation to geotechnical properties ...
Changing climate and microbial resources in polar realms
(Learning in Geography, Humanities, Technology and Science (LIGHTS), 2011)
The current climate changes that we are experiencing is attributable to both natural and man made causes. Either way it would be pertinent to be able to assess the impact at various levels to help us prepare for the ...
Low-input Modified Extensive Shrimp Culture System for Penaeus monodon Restrian Vibriosis
(BioPublisher, 2013)
It was hypothesized that an outbreak of vibriosis can be restrained in ponds with a low stocking density (~5 post-larvae m<sup>-2</sup>) till harvest. Therefore, during a 135 day production cycle of Penaeus monodon at an ...
Importance of contextual information for harnessing microbial resources from polar regions
(LIGHTS Research Foundation, 2013)
With growing interest in scientific and commercial pursuits extending up to the poles, new challenges for both environmental diplomacy and governance could be envisaged. Polar regions could be veritable store house for ...
Manganese Oxidation by Bacteria: Biogeochemical Aspects
(Springer-Verlag, 2011)
Manganese is an essential trace metal that is not as readily oxidizable like iron. Several bacterial groups posses the ability to oxidize Mn effectively competing with chemical oxidation. The oxides of Mn are the strongest ...
Phosphate solubilizing bacteria: Comparison between coastal and deep sea sediments
(Centre for Ocean and Environmental Studies, New Delhi, 2012)
Phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) play a key role in the phosphate cycle by enzymaticaly hydrolyzing a wide variety of organic phosphorus compounds and solubilizing various major insoluble forms of bound phosphorus. ...
Insights into the structural and functional aspects of rela by molecular modeling and docking calculations.
(IJPPS publishes, 2014)
RelA (ppGpp synthetase I) has been reported as an excellent drug target due to its correlation with virulence induction in bacteria. The aim of present investigation is to provide a deeper understanding of the structural ...
Immobilisation of manganese, cobalt and nickel by deep-sea-sediment microbial communities
(Taylor & Francis, 2011)
Box core samples BC26 and BC36 from geologically different settings were examined to test the hypothesis that autochthonous microbial communities from polymetallic-nodule-rich Central Indian Basin sediments actively ...
Effects of composition of labile organic matter on biogenic production of methane in the coastal sediments of the Arabian Sea
(Springer, 2011)
Coastal regions are potential zones for production of methane which could be governed by ecological/environmental differences or even sediment properties of a niche. In order to test the hypothesis that methanogenesis in ...
