Effect of hydrodynamic cavitation on zooplankton: A tool for disinfection
(Elsevier, 2008)
Application of hydrodynamic cavitation for disinfection of water is gaining momentum, as it provides environmentally and economically sound options. In this effort, the effect of cavitating conditions created by differential ...
Larval development and metamorphosis in Balanus amphitrite Darwin (Cirripedia; Thoracica): Significance of food concentration, temperature and nucleic acids
(Elsevier, 2001)
The influence of food concentration (Chaetoceros calcitrans at 1 x 10 sup(5) and 2 x 10 sup(5) cells ml sup(-1)) and temperature (20 degrees C and 30 degrees C) on the nucleic acid content of the nauplii and the cyprids ...
Exploration and metamorphosis in Balanus amphitrite Darwin (Cirripedia ; Thoracica) cyprids: significance of sugars and adult extract
(Elsevier, 2002)
Earlier observations have shown that sugars in solution adsorb electrostatically through –OH groups to polar groups associated with the cypris larva temporary adhesive (CTA). Lens culinaris agglutinin (LCA)-binding sugar ...
Relevance of biofilm bacteria in modulating the larval metamorphosis of Balanus amphitrite
(Blackwell Publishing, 2006)
Balanus amphitrite, on its larval metamorphosis. The effect of multispecies bacterial film was also assessed. The production of different molecules by the bacteria was influenced by the nutrient media under which they were ...
Thraustochytrid protists as a component of marine microbial films
(Springer, 2000)
Although ubiquitous in the marine environment, the presence and importance of thraustochytrid fungoid protists in primary film formation of freshly immersed surfaces in the sea have not been investigated. Thraustochytrids ...
Underwater adhesion: The barnacle way
(Elsevier, 2007)
Barnacle cement is an underwater adhesive insoluble protein complex. Marine proteins secreted by the invertebrates such as barnacles and mussels have potential application as powerful adhesives as they insolubilize and ...
Factors regulating the production of different inducers in Pseudomonas aeruginosa with reference to larval metamorphosis in Balanus amphitrite
(Inter-Research, 2002)
Gregarious settlement in barnacles has been related to the settlement-inducing compounds from adult conspecifics, bacteria in the biofilms, and their interaction. Elucidation of larval settlement cues from these sources ...
Barnacle larval destination: piloting possibilities by bacteria and lectin interaction
(Elsevier, 2003)
Modulation of metamorphosis in barnacles in response to cues of biological origin is established. The bacteria associated with the barnacles also have a role in such modulations. We isolated the bacteria, Pseudomonas ...
