  • Molecular breeding of oil degrading microorganisms: Development of phenol degrading mutant of Pseudomonas cepacia AC1100 
    Ghadi, S.C.; Sangodkar, U.M.X. (Ocean Technology Perspectives, Ed. by: S. Kumar, V.V. Agadi, V.K. Das and B.N. Desai. CSIR, New-Delhi. 1994; 920-928.)
    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 ...
  • Progestin (Norethisterone) induced genetic damage in mouse bone marrow 
    Shyama, S.K.; AbdulRahiman (Mutation Research-Genetic Toxicology and Environmental Mutagenesis. 300(3and4); 1993; 215-221.)
    Primolut-N tablets containing norethisterone were assessed for their in vivo genotoxic effect on the bone marrow cells of Swiss albino mice. The chromosomal aberration assay and the micronucleus test were employed for the ...
  • Antibiotic production by a plasmid borne Streptomyces sp. 
    Kerkar, S. (Ocean Technology Perspectives, Ed. by: S. Kumar, V.V. Agadi, V.K. Das and B.N. Desai. CSIR, New-Delhi. 1994; 949-959.)
    An antibiotic-producing marine Streptomyces sp. isolated from an intertidal zone of Andaman Island showed a broad range of inhibitory activity against non-marine and marine bacterial cultures. The optimum conditions for ...
  • Control of bird menace in Sericulture 
    Pai, I.K. (Indian Silk. 31(9); 1993; 24-25.)
  • Mental retardation: A global problem 
    Pai, I.K. (Navhind Times. (14 Jul); 1993.)
  • Transformation of alpha-santonin by Pseudomonas cichorii S. Identification of products 
    Naik, U.P.; Mavinkurve, S.; Naik, U.S.; Paknikar, S.K. (Indian Journal of Chemistry. 27B; 1988; 381-282.)
    4alpha, 5alpha-Dihydroxysantonin (4) and ethyl 3-oxoeudesma-4, 6- diene-12-oate (2, 4-DNP derivative 3) have been characterised as microbial transformation products of alpha-santonin (1) by Pseudomonas cichorii S. The ...
  • Isolation of potential ligninolytic organisms 
    Nazareth, S.W.; Mavinkurve, S. (International Biodeterioration. 23(5); 1987; 271-180.)
    Organisms were isolated from soil, bark, ret liquor and other sources by enrichment on Klason lignin or guaiacol. The isolates were screened for their ability to assimilate various phenolic compounds, including methoxylated ...
  • Laboratory studies on retting of coconut husk 
    Nazareth, S.W.; Mavinkurve, S. (International Biodeterioration. 23(6); 1987; 343-355.)
    Laboratory rets set by soaking the coconut husk in water were monitored by physico-chemical analysis of leachate and husk. Increasing amounts of pectins and phenols were leached in ret liquor during a period of 9 days of ...
  • Alpha-santonin 1,2-reductase and its role in the formation of dihydrosantonin and lumisantonin by Pseudomonas cichorii S 
    Naik, U.P.; Mavinkurve, S. (Canadian Journal of Microbiology. 33(8); 1987; 658-662.)
    1,2-Dihydrosantonin is the first stable product in the degradative pathway of alpha-santonin byPseudomonas cichorii S. Its formation is catalyzed by an oxidoreductase, which is NADH or NADPH dependent and has an apparent ...
  • Mechanism of uptake of alpha-santonin by Pseudomonas cichorii strain S 
    Furtado, I.; Sangodkar, U.M.X.; Mavinkurve, S. (Biotechnology and Bioengineering. 30; 1987; 991-994.)
    Uptake of various solid hydrophobic substances is reported to occur by their solubilization, mediated by the cells through secretion of extracellular factors, or via direct contact of cells with the substrate. Pseudomonas ...
