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. ...
Microlevel mapping of coastal geomorphology and coastal resources of Rameswaram island, India: A remote sensing and GIS perspective
(Coastal Education and Reserch Foundation, 2010)
Coastal areas are facing serious threats from both manmade and natural disturbances; coastal erosion, sea-level variation, and cyclones are the major factors that alter the coastal topography and coastal resources of the ...
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 ...
Molecular Insights on Dissolved Organic Matter Transformation by Supraglacial Microbial Communities
(American Chemical Society, 2017)
Snow overlays the majority of Antarctica and is an important repository of dissolved organic matter (DOM). DOM transformations by supraglacial microbes are not well understood. We use ultrahigh resolution mass spectrometry ...
Distribution and abundance of mysid shrimps (Crustacea: Mysidacea) in the Northern Indian Ocean.
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)
The distribution and abundance of mysids were studied based on materials collected from the upper 1000 m of the Northern Indian Ocean (Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of India) during the period 2002–2006. A greater abundance ...
Recent advances in marine drug research
(Elsevier, 2013)
Structures and properties of promising marine anti-cancer, anti-inflammation and anti-infectious (HIV, HSV, malaria, leishmania) compounds reported during 2008–2011 are discussed. Wherever possible, attempts have also been ...
Bacterial diversity associated with Cinachyra cavernosa and Haliclona pigmentifera, cohabiting sponges in the coral reef ecosystem of Gulf of Mannar, southeast coast of India
(PLOS One, 2015)
Sponges are abundant, diverse and functionally important organisms of coral reef ecosystems. Sponge-associated microorganisms have been receiving greater attention because of their significant contribution to sponge biomass, ...
Rapid pulses of uplift, subsidence, and subduction erosion offshore Central America: Implications for building the rock record of convergent margins
(Geological Society of America, 2013)
Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expedition 334 to southern Costa Rica, Central America, documented unprecedented subduction erosion in an area of active seismic slip. Widespread subduction erosion of the upper ...
Biobleaching of waste paper using lignolytic enzyme from Fusarium equiseti VKF2: a mangrove isolate
(Springer Netherlands, 2018)
Laccase is a major enzyme used in the paper and pulp industries for bio-bleaching applications. This paper focused on the bio-bleaching property of a potential lignolytic fungus, Fusarium equiseti VKF-2. Optimum conditions ...
Mercury exposure and Alzheimer's disease in India: An imminent threat?
(Elsevier, 2017)
India is an industrial giant with one of the fastest growing major economies in the world. Primary energy consumption in India is third after China and the USA. Greater energy production brings the burden of increasing ...
