  • Impact of pollution on phytoplankton and implications for marine econiches 
    D'Costa, P.M.; D'Silva, M.S.; Naik, R.K. (Marine Pollution and Microbial Remediation, Ed. by: Milind Mohan Naik and Santosh Kumar Dubey. 2017; 205-222.)
    Pollution in marine environments has been widely studied because of its impact, both direct and indirect, on human livelihood. Pollution may arise from different sources, the most well known being influx of domestic sewage, ...
  • Selenium pollution in the marine environment and marine bacteria in selenium bioremediation 
    Charya, L.S. (Marine Pollution and Microbial Remediation, Ed. by: Milind Mohan Naik and Santosh Kumar Dubey. 2017; 223-237.)
    Selenium (Se), a metalloid, is a micronutrient essential to biological systems at lower concentrations but becomes toxic as the level increases. Among the soluble forms of Se, selenite is more toxic than selenate to most ...
  • Prophylactic effect of dietary supplementation of fish oil extracted from Sardinella longiceps on renal dysfunction in alloxan induced diabetic mice (Mus musculus) 
    Kamat, S.G.; Mascarenhas, C.J.; Roy, R. (Journal of Diabetes and Obesity. 3(1); 2016; 1-8.)
    Diabetes mellitus is a multifactorial metabolic disorder caused due to deficiency of pancreatic hormone insulin, which results in failure to metabolize sugar or due to adequacy of another pancreatic hormone glucagon which ...
  • Genotoxic biomarkers as indicators of marine pollution 
    PraveenKumar, M.K.; D'Costa, A.H.; Shyama, S.K. (Marine Pollution and Microbial Remediation, Ed. by: Milind Mohan Naik and Santosh Kumar Dubey. 2017; 263-270.)
    The marine environment is the recipient of a wide range of pollutants including sewage, heavy metals, nanoparticles, petroleum hydrocarbons, and radiation which will ultimately affect the natural populations of aquatic ...
  • Bacterial degradation of algal polysaccharides in marine ecosystem 
    Imran, Md.; Poduval, P.B.; Ghadi, S.C. (Marine Pollution and Microbial Remediation, Ed. by: Milind Mohan Naik and Santosh Kumar Dubey. 2017; 189-203.)
    Complex polysaccharides (CPs) such as agar, alginates, carrageenan, etc., are largely present as component of cell wall of seaweeds, promoting structural integrity and shielding the host from pathogens or predators. Marine ...
  • Lead- and mercury-resistant marine bacteria and their application in lead and mercury bioremediation 
    Naik, M.M.; Dubey, S.K. (Marine Pollution and Microbial Remediation, Ed. by: Milind Mohan Naik and Santosh Kumar Dubey. 2017; 29-40.)
    With rapid industrialisation, enormous amounts of industrial waste including heavy metals have accumulated in marine environments over several decades and require special attention. Untreated wastes from mining, metal ...
  • Interaction of Haloarchaea with metals 
    Naik, Sanika S.; Furtado, I. (Marine Pollution and Microbial Remediation, Ed. by: Milind Mohan Naik and Santosh Kumar Dubey. 2017; 143-151.)
    Haloarchaea are predominant microflora of hypersaline econiches such as solar saltern, salt lakes, and salt deposits and so on. Urbanization and industrialization including mining, agriculture, and waste disposal in coastal ...
  • Biosurfactant-producing denitrifying bacteria in marine petroleum-contaminated environmental sites 
    de Sousa, T. (Marine Pollution and Microbial Remediation, Ed. by: Milind Mohan Naik and Santosh Kumar Dubey. 2017; 129-141.)
    Denitrifying bacteria are ubiquitously distributed in marine ecosystems and especially widespread in hydrocarbon-contaminated systems. Their unique flexible respiratory mechanism and ability to degrade a broad range of ...
  • Marine Pollution and Microbial Remediation 
    Naik, M.M.; Dubey, S.K. (Springer. 2017; 270pp.)
  • Bioremediation of heavy metals from saline water using hypersaline dissimilatory sulfate-reducing bacteria 
    Kerkar, S.; Das, K.R. (Marine Pollution and Microbial Remediation, Ed. by: Milind Mohan Naik and Santosh Kumar Dubey. 2017; 15-28.)
    Salt pans are man-made ecosystems which are fed by the tidal influx of seawater through the estuaries. Most heavy metal contaminants from industries and anthropogenic processes dissolve in water and thus gain entry into ...
