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 ...
Biological and biochemical characterization of microfouling on aluminium panels placed in the Arabian Sea
(Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore, 1989)
Microfouling biomass was higher in the shelf waters (< 200 m) as compared with the slope waters (> 200 m). Bacteria were first to colonize on the aluminium surfaces as irregular formations during the initial stages of ...
Accumulation of copper and zinc by balanus amphitrite in a tropical estuary
(Elsevier, 1988)
@iBalanus amphitrite@@ (Cirripedia: Thoracica) a dominant fouling organism was analysed to assess the accumulation potentialities of copper and zinc. It was observed that it could accumulate Cu to 864.77 mu g g-1 dry wt. ...
A note on the fouling hydroids from the offshore waters of Bombay
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1986)
This short communication brings out the preliminary results of the studies on fouling hydroids from an offshore region of the Arabian sea. A total of ten species falling under four different families have been collected ...
Observations on marine biofouling on electroplated metallic surfaces in Goa waters
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1982)
The panels of metallic brass electroplated with cadmium as well as nickel-chromium were kept suspended in the near-shore marine environment of Goa, India for biofouling studies. The results for the premonsoon period, which ...
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. ...
