• Production of peptidic antimicrobials by bacterial populations from diverse coastal habitats of Goa, India 

  Naik, P.G.; Muraleedharan, U.D. (Indian Journal of Geo-Marine Sciences. 52(6); 2023; 292-299.)

  With conventional antibiotics rapidly losing their efficacy, marine microorganisms found in diverse salinity conditions are being explored for new antibacterial agents. Salinity is a major contributing factor to the ...
• Isolation of a novel cyanophage infecting potentially bloom-forming Limnothrix sp 

  Noronha, J.M.; Gauns, M.U.; Ghadi, S.C. (Limnologica. 93; 2022; ArticleID_125961.)

  A filamentous cyanobacterium, identified as Limnothrix sp. VL01, and a novel lytic cyanophage Phi L-VL01 that infects it, were isolated from a shallow freshwater lake located in Goa, India. Cyanophage-infected Limnothrix ...
• Antimicrobial profiling of coral reef and sponge associated bacteria from southeast coast of India 

  Rajasabapathy, R.; Ghadi, S.C.; Manikandan, B.; Mohandass, C.; Surendran, A.; Dastagere, S.G.; Meena, R.M.; James, R.A. (Microbial Pathogenesis. 41; 2020; ArticleID_103972.)

  Culturable bacteria associated with marine sponges and coral mucus (collected from Gulf of Mannar and Palk Bay) were screened for their prospective antimicrobial compounds against 9 bacterial pathogens (Bacillus megaterium, ...

• Isolation of a thermophilic Meiothermus sp. strain JE2 and its infective phage vB_Msp_JE2 from Rajwadi hot spring, India 

  Faria, N.; Ghadi, S.C. (Indian Journal of Biotechnology. 20; 2021; 355-363.)

  A thermophilic, red-pigmented aerobic bacteria designated as strain JE2 was isolated from the water sample of the Rajwadi hot spring. Bacterial strain JE2 was Gram-negative, rod-shaped that grew optimally at pH 7.5 and 60 ...
• Draft genome sequence of lysogenic Pseudomonas sp. strain VB3 isolated from Vashisht hot spring, India 

  Faria, N.; Ghadi, S.C. (Biologia. NYP; 2023; NYP.)

  Bacterial strain VB3, an aerobic bacterium, was isolated from the water of Vashisht hot spring, Himachal Pradesh, India. The lysogenic bacterial strain VB3's draft genome sequences comprise approximately 6.06 MB DNA and ...
• Cationic Clitoria ternatea seed peptide as a potential novel bioactive molecule 

  Sreekala, S.; Muraleedharan, U.D. (Protein & Peptide Letters. 28(11); 2021; 1259-1271.)

  Background: While several biologics have been reported from different parts of Clitoria ternatea, a herbaceous climber of the family Fabaceae, specific production of cationic peptides other than cyclotides (less than 3.7 ...
