Abundance, viability and culturability of Antarctic bacteria
(Department of Ocean Development, New Delhi, India, 1999)
The viability of total number of bacteria decide the mineralisation rate in any ecosystem and ultimately the fertility of the region. This study aims at establishing the extent of viability in the standing stock of the ...
FiveS rRNA sequences and fatty acid profiles of colourless sulfur-oxidising bacteria
(Publ. and Inf. Dir., New Delhi, India, 1994)
Colourless sulfur-oxidising bacteria have been encountered extensively in the oxygen minimum layers of the Arabian Sea. These oligotrophs have been known to mediate nitrogen cycle reductively even under autotrophic conditions. ...
Nitrate and sulfate reducers-retrievable number of bacteria and their activities in Indian waters
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 1992)
Culturable heterotrophic, nitrate reducing and sulfate reducing bacteria (HB, NRB and SRB) were enumerated from 25, 50, 100 and 200 m depths at 15 stations and their potential activities viz. Nitrate reducing (NRA) and ...
Truce with oxygen - A naerobiosis outcompete aerobiosis in the Antarctic lacustrine bacteria
(Current Science Association, Bangalore, India, 1999)
The total number of bacteria counted directly by epifluorescent microscopy showed that they ranged from 10 sup(8)-10 sup(-1) in Antarctic lake water samples. The percentages of retrievable viable counts (RVC) of anaerobic ...
Effect of heavy metals on marine Bacillus sp. and Flavobacterium sp.
(NIO, GoaEcotoxicology, 1993)
Studies on antagonistic marine streptomycetes
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 1992)
Sixty nine strains of Streptomyces sp. isolated from the sediments of Andaman and Nicobar islands (Bay of Bengal) were screened for their antagonistic property against a number of test cultures (Vibrio sp., Klebsiella sp., ...
Anaerobic sulfide-oxidation in marine colorless sulfur-oxidizing bacteria
(Springer, 1997)
Colorless sulfur-oxidizing bacteria are ubiquitous in Indian waters and have the ability to oxidize sulfide under anaerobic conditions. These bacteria can not only mediate the sulfur cycle oxidatively but also the nitrogen ...
A preliminary study of anaerobic thiosulfate-oxidising bacteria as denitrifiers in the Arabian Sea
(Taylor & Francis, 1988)
Bacteria which oxidize thiosulfate and reduce nitrate (TONRB) and bacteria which oxidize thiosulfate and denitrify (TODB) sampled at 5-, 100-, 200-and 300-m depths were enumerated in agar shake cultures by colony counting ...
Occurrence and distribution of Vibrio parahaemolyticus and related organisms in the Arabian Sea
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1987)
The occurrence and distribution of Vibrio parahaemolyticus and related organisms were studied from offshore water samples (Lat. 10 degrees N and Long. 65 degrees to 69 degrees E) collected at 5, 10, 50, 100, 200 and 500 m ...
Bacteriology of ferromanganese nodules from the Indian Ocean
(Taylor & Francis, 1987)
Bacteriological investigations of the ferromanganese nodules collected from the Indian Ocean indicate that microbial populations associated with the nodules are, in general, comparable to those of the Pacific and Atlantic ...
