Structure-Function Elucidation of a New ?-Conotoxin, MilIA, from Conus milneedwardsi
(2019)
The a-Conotoxins are peptide toxins that are found in the venom of marine cone snails and they are potent antagonists of various subtypes of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). Because nAChRs have an important role ...
Seasonal variation in Beta-glucosidase-producing culturable bacterial diversity in a monsoon-influenced tropical estuary
(2019)
The episodic monsoon condition in a tropical estuarine environment inputs high allochthonous materials that are rich in carbohydrates and are mainly broken down by enzymatic hydrolysis thus alter both organic matter and ...
Extinction of Antimicrobial Resistant Pathogens Using Silver Embedded Silica Nanoparticles and an Efflux Pump Blocker
(2019)
Control measures against antimicrobial resistant bacterial pathogens are important challenges in our daily life. In this study, we discuss the sensitivity and resistance of four bacterial pathogens, Vibrio alginolyticus, ...
Improvement in biomass, lipid production and biodiesel properties of a euryhaline Chlorella vulgaris NIOCCV on mixotrophic cultivation in wastewater from a fish processing plant
(Elsevier, 2019)
In this study, the changes in biomass productivity, wastewater treatment, lipid production and biodiesel properties from mixotrophic cultivation of Chlorella vulgaris NIOCCV in untreated wastewater from a fish processing ...
Geometry of the Subducting Indian Plate and Local Seismicity in the Andaman Region from the Passive OBS Experiment
(Seismological Society of America, California, USA, 2019)
We deployed a temporary passive ocean-bottom seismometer (OBS) network from 25 December 2013 to 15 May 2014 to understand the local seismicity pattern in the Andaman region. A total of 559 local earthquakes are identified ...
Nitrate Reductase Gene Expression in Idiomarina Strain cos21 Obtained from Oxygen Minimum Zone of Arabian Sea
(Springer US, 2019)
This study analyses the induction and repression of nitrate reduction activity in a batch culture of Idiomarina strain cos21. On a change from aerobic to anaerobic respiration, the culture entered a stationary phase. The ...
Report of epibiont ciliates (Cilliophora: Suctorea) on pelagic ostracods (Crustacea: Ostracoda) from the Arabian Sea
(2019)
The article deals with the report of 5 suctorians viz. Lecanophryella satyanandani (Santhakumari, 1986), Paracineta karunakarani Santhakumari, 1986, Ephelota gemmipara (Hertwig, 1876), Acineta foetida Maupas, 1881 and ...
Inter-annual variations in the hydrochemistry of Alappuzha mud banks, southwest coast of India
(Elsevier, 2019)
The changes in the hydro-chemical properties of a near shore waters of Alappuzha, southwest coast of India, where the mud banks and coastal upwelling are co-existent, are presented based on two time-series measurements ...
Indonesian throughflow controlled the westward extent of the Indo-Pacific Warm Pool during glacial-interglacial intervals
(2019)
The tropical atmospheric circulation is strongly influenced by the sea surface temperature (SST) of the warmest region of the world ocean, the Indo-Pacific Warm Pool (IPWP). The effect of recent anomalous Indian Ocean ...
Involvement of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in immune-functioning of Paphia malabarica (Chemnitz, 1782)
(Elsevier, 2019)
In recent years, the role of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) isoform has been widely studied because of its immunological relevance in higher organisms as well as invertebrates including bivalves. However, little ...
