Influence of bacterial exopolymers and the adult extract of Balanus amphitrite and Cthamalus sp. on cyprid metamorphosis of Balanus amphitrite
(US Office of Naval Research, 1997)
Settlement of barnacle, a major fouling organism is believed to be controlled to a great extent by substratum characteristics such as, presence of conspecific adults or "gregariousness" inducing factors. Exopolymers secreted ...
Chemical characterization of exopolysaccharides from the marine fouling diatom Amphore coffeaeformis
(Herwood Academic, 1996)
Amphora coffeaeformis cells were grown in batch cultures under continuous illumination at 18 degrees C for 10 d. Algal cells were removed by centrifugation, lyophilized and used for the extraction of exopolysaccharides ...
Impact of biofouling on corrosion resistance of reinforced concrete
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, India, 1994)
The settlement of marine organisms on reinforced concrete surfaces can affect the durability of concrete structures due to the initiation of corrosion processes. A uniform settlement of biofoulers covering an entire concrete ...
Marine sponges: a potential source of eco-friendly antifouling compounds
(US Office of Naval Research, 1997)
Antifouling protocols rely to a great extent on the application of paints or altering substratum characteristics. It has been evidence that commercial antifouling paints which are currently in use employ toxic biocides. ...
Electron transport system activity of microfouling material: Relationships with biomass parameters
(Taylor & Francis Group, 1994)
Microfouling material developed on aluminium panels immersed in surface waters of the Dona Paula Bay, Goa India was analysed for biomass (measured as dry weight, organic crabon, protein and chlorophyll @ia@@) and electron ...
Growth inhibition of periphytic diatoms by methanol extracts of sponges and holothurians
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1994)
Crude methanol extracts of a holothurian Holothuria leucospilota, and two sponges Craniella sp. and Ircinia ramosa were tested for their inhibitory effects on the growth of two marine diatoms, Navicula subinflata and N. ...
Biodeterioration of wood in estuarine ecosystem of Goa
(US Office of Naval Research, 1997)
An assessment of macrofouling and wood boring community at different localities of Zuari and Mandovi estuaries of Goa carried out. Wood panels of Mangifera indica of 10 x 15 x 2.5 cm size were exposed in this investigation. ...
Antifouling activities of marine sedentary invertebrates on some macrofoulers
(Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, New Delhi, 1999)
Antifouling activities of alcohol extracts from four gorgonian species (Melitodes sp., Gorgonella sanguinolenta, Echinogorgia complexa, Acanthogorgia turgida), five soft corals [Dendronephthya sp. 1, Dendronephthya sp. 2, ...
Terrestrial plants: a potent source for isolation of eco-friendly antifouling compounds
(US Office of Naval Research, 1997)
All over the world efforts are oriented towardes isolation of eco-friently antifouling toxins from marine plants and organisms. Consequently number of compounds having antifouling properties have been identified from marine ...
Macrofouling community development at tropical coastal environment (New Mangalore Port, West Coast of India)
(US Office of Naval Research, 1997)
Recruitment of macrofouling community in tropical waters is generalised as an year round phenomenon. Of course localities which are influenced by seasonal variation in fresh water run-off, mainly during monsoon could be ...
