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 ...
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 ...
Heavy metal pollution exerts reduction/adaptation in the diversity and enzyme expression profile of heterotrophic bacteria in Cochin estuary, India
(Elsevier, 2011)
Over the past three decades heavy metal pollution has increased substantially in Cochin estuary, south west coast of India. The distribution, diversity and enzyme expression profile of culturable microbial population along ...
Microscale response of sediment variables to benthic disturbance in the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Taylor and Francis, 2000)
The response of sediment bacteria and biochemical variables to benthic disturbance was investigated in the Central Indian Ocean Basin from cores at nine stations. Generally, bacterial density and biochemical variables ...
Bacterial standing stock, meiofauna and sediment-nutrient characteristics: Indicators of benthic disturbance in the Central Indian Basin
(Pergamon, 2001)
As a part of the environmental impact assessment studies for polymetallic nodule mining, the effect of simulated "benthic disturbance" caused by a benthic hydraulic disturber was studied in the Central Indian Basin (CIB). ...
