  • Glucose influenced degradation of alpha-santonin in pseudomonas sp. strain S (ATCC 43388) 
    Sangodkar, U.M.X.; Mavinkurve, S. (Acta Biotechnologica. 11(1); 1991; 67-71.)
    Pseudomonas sp., strain S ATCC 43 388 utilizes alpha-santonin by inducible enzyme system measurable by oxygen uptake. Cells grown on acetate or benzoate show negligible oxygen consumption with alpha-santonin. However, ...
  • Use of mutation strategies applied to Aspergillus terreus ATCC 52430 to obtain mutants with improved cellulase productivity 
    Araujo, A.; Ward, O.P.; Dsouza, J. (Biotechnology Techniques. 5(4); 1991; 283-288.)
    Mutation studies were carried out on Aspergillus terreus ATCC 52430 to increase cellulase production. Optimal treatment conditions for increasing cellulase activity by UV mutagenesis were observed by exposure of spores to ...
  • Water-borne Hyphomycetes found in Ethiopia 
    Bhat, D.J.; Chien, C.Y. (Transactions of the Mycological Society of Japan. 31; 1990; 147-157.)
  • Tolerance of an estuarine halophilic archaebacterium to crude oil and constituent hydrocarbons 
    Raghavan, T.M.; Furtado, I. (Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology. 65(6); 2000; 725-731.)
    Response of Halobacterium strain R1 (MTCC3265 Microbial Type Culture Collection ,India), a halphilic archaeobacterium, isolated from the Mandovi estuary in Goa, India to crude oil and its constituent hydrocarbons is reported here.
  • Development of a bacterial consortium for coir retting 
    Ravindranath, A.D.; Bhosle, S. (Journal of Scientific and Industrial Research. 59(2); 2000; 140-143.)
    The development of a consortium comprising indigenous nora of the coconut husks is reported. This consortium which could be grown on husk leachates has been used as inoculum for the retting process under laboratory conditions. ...
  • Metal tolerance of Fusarium solani 
    Kowshik, M.; Nazareth, S.W. (Ecology, Environment and Conservation. 6(4); 2000; 391-395.)
    Fusarium solani can grow in the presence of a number of heavy metals and others like mercury, chromium, aluminium, copper, iron, nickel, lead, cobalt, arsenic, manganese, zinc, lithium. The growth of the culture in medium ...
  • Brain drain: Crocodile tears galore 
    Raghavan, T.M. (Current Science. 79(4); 2000; 396-397.)
  • Antimicrobial activity of pigment from Fusarium solani 
    Nazareth, S.W.; Koshy, B. (Ecology of Fungi, Ed. by: D.J. Bhat and S. Raghukumar. Goa University, Goa. 2000; 68-73.)
    Fusarium solani (Mart.) Sacc. produces a red diffusible quinone pigment. The pigment is shown to be anti-mycotic, effective in low concentrations, against human pathogenic fungi, namely Candida albicans and a Fusarium ...
  • Biosorption of metals by Fusarium solani 
    Kowshik, M.; Nazareth, S.W. (Asian Journal of Microbiology, Biotechnology and Environmental Sciences. 1(1and2); 2000; 57-61.)
    Micoroorganisms play an important role in biosorption of metals and in the abatement of metal pollution Sorption of metals by Fusarium solani is reported in this study. Metal biosorption by the culture is shown to occur ...
  • Exopolysaccharides of Pseudomonas mendocina P(2)d 
    Royan, S.; Parulekar, C.; Mavinkurve, S. (Letters in Applied Microbiology. 29(5); 1999; 342-346.)
    Pseudomonas mendocina P(2)d cells grown at room temperature in sodium benzoate as sole source of carbon, followed by storage on ice, form a viscous pellet on centrifugation. Such viscosity is not produced by cells grown ...
