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 ...
Use of a chiA probe for detection of chitinase genes in bacteria from the Chesapeake Bay
(FEMS, 2000)
PCR primers specific for the chiA gene were designed by alignment and selection of highly conserved regions of chiA sequences from Serratia marcescens, Alteromonas sp., Bacillus circulans and Aeromonas caviae. These primers ...
Potential of mercury-resistant marine bacteria for detoxification of chemicals of environmental concern
(The Japanese Society of Microbial Ecology, 2007)
The hypothesis that mercury-resistant bacteria exposed to polluted environments such as coastal areas can tolerate, detoxify, or biotransform a variety of other toxicants was examined. Several mercury-resistant marine ...
Coliform and human pathogenic bacteria in tourism affected water bodies in North Goa
(Anon, 2002)
Microscopic bacteria, which are diverse and preponderant in all ecosystems, sense changes in any environment fast because of their ability to metabolize a variety of chemical substances for their nutrition and growth. In ...
Dispersion and retrievability of water quality indicators during tidal cycles in coastal Salaya, Gulf of Kachchh (West coast of India)
(Springer, 2010)
Bacterial indicators in relation to tidal variations were studied at five locations for over 2 days covering three tidal cycles in the southwestern region of Gulf of Kachchh, India. Tidal flow here is predominantly in the ...
Bacteriological quality of creeks and marine water bodies in North Goa: Ecosystem upkeep perspectives for tourism-related activities
(Tata Energy Research Institute, India, 2003)
Keeping tourism-related activities in the fore, several relevant bacteriological parameters were studied in depth in North Goa's aquatic ecosystems. Total bacterial abundance and activity for sewage-indicator bacteria and ...
Unusual rise in mercury-resistant bacteria in coastal environs
(Springer, 2003)
A sharp rise in mercury-resistant bacteria (MRB) capable of tolerating very high concentration of Hg was observed over the last 3-4 years in the coastal environs of India. While none or negligible colony-forming units (CFU) ...
Physical forcing of biological productivity in the northern Arabian Sea during the northeast monsoon
(Pergamon, 2001)
Time-series observations at a nominally fixed location in the northern Arabian Sea (21 degrees N, 64 degrees E) during the Northeast Monsoon (winter, February) of 1997 showed the prevalence of cold sea-surface temperatures ...
