Study of changes in bacterial and viral abundance in formaldehyde - Fixed water samples by epifluorescence microscopy
(Springer, 2011)
Accurate measurement of bacterial and viral abundance in coastal marine environments is important to understand the dynamics of microbial communities in these ecosystems. In this study, the effect of formaldehyde preservation ...
Investigation of XBT and XCTD biases in the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal with implications for climate studies
(American Meteorological Society, 2011)
Long time series of XBT data in the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea are valuable datasets for exploring and understanding climate variability. However, such studies of interannual and longer-scale variability of temperature ...
Adaptation of marine derived fungus Chaetomium globosum (NIOCC 36) to alkaline stress using antioxidant properties
(Elsevier, 2011)
The fungi are an exceptionally useful model in elucidating the cell functions under extreme conditions (temperature, salinity, and pH values) and mechanisms underlying adaptation to those extreme environmental conditions. ...
Pre- and post-monsoonal changes in grain size and heavy minerals in the sediments from Kalbadevi Bay, Ratnagiri, west coast of India
(NISCAIR (CSIR), 2011)
Sediments from the Kalbadevi Bay, Ratnagiri collected during January, May and October have been studied for processes responsible for the observed grain size variations and heavy mineral distribution. The study shows ...
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 ...
Spatial distribution of the nematodes in the subtidal community of the Central West Coast of India with emphasis on Tershellingia longicaudata (Nematoda: Linhomoeidae)
(Taylor & Francis, 2011)
Meiofaunal nematodes are among the most important components of the benthic environment. They have unusually high abundance and diversity. They are largely understudied in many parts of the world and explored very little ...
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 ...
Mono and dinuclear arene ruthenium(II) triazoles by 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions to a coordinated azide in ruthenium(II) compounds
(The Royal Society of Chemistry, 2011)
The dimeric Eta sup(6)-hexamethylbenzene ruthenium(II) triazole compounds of formulation (((Eta sup(6)-C sub(6)Me Sub(6))Ru(N sub(3)C sub(2)(CO sub(2)R)sub(2)) sub(2) - (mu C sub(2)O sub(4))) have been synthesized by ...
Determination of Acetylcholinesterase activities in marine gastropod (Morula granulata) as a biomarker of neurotoxic contaminants along the Goan coast.
(Institute of Ecotoxicology and Environmental Sciences, 2011)
Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is an enzyme that degrades the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, producing choline and acetate. group. It is mainly found at neuromuscular junctions and cholinergic synapses in the central nervous ...
Effect of chlorination on the development of marine biofilms dominated by diatoms
(Taylor & Francis, 2011)
This study addressed the antifouling efficiency of commercially available chlorine at different concentrations (0.5%, 1%, and 2%) and exposure times (0.5 min, 1 min, 5 min, and 15 min). The rapid and non-destructive FIRe ...
