    Willis, A.; Harris, P.J.C.; Rodrigues, B.F.; Spark, T.H. (European Journal of Ecology. 2(1); 2016; 60-71.)
    A seven-station interrupted belt transect was established that followed a previously observed plant zonation pattern across an aggrading primary coastal dune system in the dry tropical region of west-coast India. The ...
  • Diversity of retrievable heterotrophic bacteria in Kongsfjorden, an Arctic fjord 
    Sinha, R.K.; Krishnan, K.P.; MohamedHatha, A.A.; Rahiman, M.; DivyaDavid, T.; Kerkar, S. (Brazilian Journal of Microbiology. 48(1); 2017; 51-61.)
    The diversity and abundance of retrievable pelagic heterotrophic bacteria in Kongsfjorden, an Arctic fjord, was studied during the summer of 2011 (June, August, and September). Retrievable bacterial load ranged from 10 ...
  • Metallothionein assisted periplasmic lead sequestration as lead sulfite by Providencia vermicola strain SJ2A 
    Sharma, J.; Shamim, K.; Dubey, S.K.; Meena, R.M. (Science of The Total Environment. 579; 2016; 359-365.)
    Lead resistant Providencia vermicola strain SJ2A was isolated from the waste of a battery manufacturing industry which could tolerate upto 3.0 mM lead nitrate in the minimal medium. Interestingly, this isolate showed ...
  • Today's environmentalism: Time for constructive cooperative action 
    Gadgil, M. (Economic and Political Weekly. 51(46); 2016; 57-61.)
    Environmental activism in India comprises two streams. The first focuses on protected areas and relies on the bureaucracy that often misuses its powers against communities that live in close contact with nature. The second ...
  • Antimicrobial activity of mangrove plants of Goa, India against human pathogenic bacteria 
    Lotlikar, G.; Naik-Samant, S. (Proc. Nat. Seminar on Advances in Life Sciences, 7-8 Dec 2015. St. Xavier's College, Mapusa, Goa. 2016; 55-61.)
    Mangroves grow in saline coastal habitats in the tropical and subtropical regions. Mangrove ecosystem is of a great ecological and socioeconomic significance. Mandovi-Zuari estuarine complex in Goa are well known mangrove ...
  • The genus Fusariella 
    Lin, C-G.; Chen, Y.; McKenzie, E.H.C.; Bhat, D.J.; Ariyawansa, H.A.; Hyde, K.D.; Wang, Y. (Mycological Progress. 15(); 2016; 1313-1326.)
    The genus Fusariella, typified by F. atrovirens, is characterised by semi- to macronematous, mononematous conidiophores, with cylindrical, subulate or lageniform phialidic conidiogenous cells that produce catenate, septate, ...
  • Lectotypification of Pseudoglochidion anamalayanum Gamble and its taxonomic position under the genus Phyllanthus (Phyllanthaceae) 
    Pagare, R.S.; Naik, Sidhesh S.; Krishnan, S.; Janarthanam, M.K. (Phytotaxa. 286(2); 2016; 61-74.)
    Pseudoglochidion anamalayanum Gamble (Phyllanthaceae), the only species of the genus is presently treated under Phyllanthus L. It is a narrow endemic of Western Ghats, India and is known from very few collections from ...
  • Molecular genetic diversity of landraces, cultivars and wild relatives of rice of Goa 
    Bhonsle, S.J.; Krishnan, S. (Current Science. 111(10); 2016; 1675-1679.)
    We studied 51 rice varieties to understand their genetic diversity. Out of 19 ISSR primers, 15 primers produced reproducible bands. Out of 110 ISSR bands, 104 were polymorphic bands with an average of 6.93 bands per primer. ...
  • Diversity and seasonal appearance of aquatic fungi in three streams of Western Ghat forests of Goa, India 
    Nair, S.K.; Bhat, D.J. (Biodiversity Journal. 7(2); 2016; 215-222.)
    In the absence of any detailed and intensive investigation on the mycota of freshwater streams of the northern part of Western Ghats, in the present paper an effort was made to study the diversity and seasonal appearnce ...
  • Molecular phylogeny of Speiropsis pedatospora 
    Pratibha, J.; Bhat, D.J.; Prabhugaonkar, A. (Mycosphere. 7(5); 2016; 679-686.)
    Speiropsis pedatospora, an aero-aquatic fungus, was isolated from submerged plant litter in freshwater streams from India. Based on analysis of combined ITS and LSU sequence data, the species was positioned in the family ...
