Abundance, viability and culturability of Antarctic bacteria
(Department of Ocean Development, New Delhi, India, 1999)
The viability of total number of bacteria decide the mineralisation rate in any ecosystem and ultimately the fertility of the region. This study aims at establishing the extent of viability in the standing stock of the ...
Marine microbiology: A glimpse of the strides in the Indian and the global arena
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 2001)
The chapter reviews the development in marine microbiology in the national and international arena. It traces salient features from the pre-Zobell era to the mid 1990s. The studies in India have just made a beginning into ...
'Trade-off' in Antarctic bacteria: limnetic psychrotrophs concede multiple enzyme expressions for multiple metal resistance
(Springer, 2007)
The present study examines the metal and antibiotic resistant bacteria in ice and water from lakes east and west of the Indian base camp (Maitri) in Antarctica. The isolates from western and eastern lakes showed distinct ...
Distribution of baroduric, psychrotrophic and culturable nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria in the Central Indian Basin
(National Institute of Ocean Technology, 2004)
The abundance of baroduric, culturable nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria in the deep-sea cores of Central Indian Basin (CIB) at ca 5000 m depth was investigated. Analysis of 8 cores, sampled between 10 degrees 00 minutes ...
Metal and antibiotic-resistance in psychrotrophic bacteria from Antarctic marine waters
(Springer, 2006)
In the wake of the findings that Antarctic krills concentrate heavy metals at ppm level, (Yamamoto et al., 1987), the Antarctic waters from the Indian side were examined for the incidence of metal and antibiotic-resistant ...
Pollution monitoring of coastal and estuarine areas: 1. Bacterial indicators along the south Gujarat Coast
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2000)
A study was undertaken to assess the validity of enteric and supplemental bacterial indicators along the 115-km length of the south Gujarat region (India). Enteric organisms like Proteus and Klebsiella, Escherichia coli, ...
A deep-sea bacterium with unique nitrifying property
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2001)
Sediment cores collected from the Central Indian Basin (10°1¢–10°2¢S, 75°59¢–76°2¢E) harboured a high population of nitrifying bacteria which ranged from 103 to 107 cfu per gram dry weight. This high density could contribute ...
FiveS rRNA sequences and fatty acid profiles of colourless sulfur-oxidising bacteria
(Publ. and Inf. Dir., New Delhi, India, 1994)
Colourless sulfur-oxidising bacteria have been encountered extensively in the oxygen minimum layers of the Arabian Sea. These oligotrophs have been known to mediate nitrogen cycle reductively even under autotrophic conditions. ...
An appraisal of biological responses and network of environmental interactions in non-mining and mining impacted coastal waters
(Springer, 2015)
The coastal waters of Goa and Ratnagiri lying on the West coast of India are influenced by terrestrial influx. However, Goa is influenced anthropogenically by iron-ore mining, while Ratnagiri is influenced by deposition ...
Nitrate and sulfate reducers-retrievable number of bacteria and their activities in Indian waters
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 1992)
Culturable heterotrophic, nitrate reducing and sulfate reducing bacteria (HB, NRB and SRB) were enumerated from 25, 50, 100 and 200 m depths at 15 stations and their potential activities viz. Nitrate reducing (NRA) and ...
