Studies on isolation and characterisation of chitin degrading bacteria of wild prawns from Goa waters were conducted. Investigations revealed that Vibrios were the major group of bacteria involved. From biochemical tests ...

Tylophora indica is an important medicinal plant and is used against dysentery, diarrhoea, humoral and bronchial asthma, allergic rhinitis, cold and cough. The plant is also known for anticancer properties. Other species ...

Pseudomonas cepacia strain AC1100 grows luxuriantly on 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T) but does not utilize phenoxyacetic acid. After long-term selective pressure on phenoxyacetic acid, mutants designated as ...

A gene bank of total DNA of a marine bacterium, Alteromonas haloplanktis, was constructed on pBR322. Two hybrid plasmids pUS2010 and pUS2011 carrying inserts of 8.2 and 5.7 kb, respectively, were isolated that complemented ...

The analysis of the sea water samples using sequential enrichment technique revealed a report of marine bacterium capable of degrading meta-toluic acid-a component of crude oil. An attempt to characterize the isolated ...

The present study describes the benthic production in terms of macrofaunal density, biomass (dry weight) and production along Agatti, Kalpeni and Kavaratti atolls of Lakshadweep in relation with physico-chemical parameters. ...

Twelve bacterial species were isolated from different organs of the mullets. A comparative analysis of different bacterial communities isolated from surface, gills and intestinal tract showed significantly diverse population ...

Among the large number of toxic constituents of heavier fractions of crude oil, phenols, cresols, xylenols and naphthols are prominent aromatic members. The genome of Pseudomonas cepacia AC1100 is a reservoir of several ...
