  • Actinobacteriological research in India 
    Velho-Pereira, S.; Kamat, N.M. (Indian Journal of Experimental Biology. 51(8); 2013; 573-596.)
    Actinobacteria are important sources of compounds for drug discovery and have attracted considerable pharmaceutical, chemical, agricultural and industrial interests. Actinobacteriological research is still in its infancy ...
  • A novel baiting technique for diversity assessment of soil actinobacteria in a laboratory microcosm 
    Velho-Pereira, S.; Kamat, N.M. (Journal of Biotechnology and Biosciences. 2(3); 2012; 217-220.)
    A novel slide technique which employed Arginine Vitamin Agar was used for isolation of diverse actinobacteria from tropical soil habitat in a laboratory microcosm. About 60 percent of the total actinobacteria were recovered ...

    Pratibha, J. (Mycotaxon. 125; 2013; 145-148.)
    A new species, Sympodioplanus goaensis, occurring on decaying unidentified twigs collected from Goa, India, is described and illustrated. The fungus is characterized by numerous conidiogenous cells that are polyblastic, ...
  • Jayarambhatia rhizophorae gen.et sp nov., an asexually reproducing fungus from Goa, India 
    Pratibha, J. (Mycotaxon. 125; 2013; 139-144.)

  • The ecology of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi 
    Willis, A.; Rodrigues, B.F.; Harris, P.J.C. (Critical Reviews in Plant Sciences. 32(1); 2013; 1-20.)
    Arbuscular mycorrhiza is a mutually beneficial biological association between species in the fungal phylum Glomeromycota and higher plants roots. The symbiosis is thought to have afforded green plants the opportunity to ...
  • Wojnowicia viburni, sp nov., from China and its phylogenetic placement 
    Wijayawardene, N.N.; Song, Y.; Bhat, D.J.; McKenzie, E.H.C.; Chukeatirote, E.; Wang, Y.; Hyde, K.D. (Sydowia. 65(1); 2013; 129-138.)
    A new species of Wojnowicia was isolated from leaves of Viburnum utile in Guizhou Province, China. The new species, Wojnowicia viburni, is described, illustrated and compared with similar species. It differs from other ...
  • Distribution of some obnoxious weeds in north-western Ghats of India 
    Patil, B.B.; Janarthanam, M.K. (Indian Journal of Weed Science. 45(4); 2013; 267-272.)
    Flora and fauna of Western Ghats, a biodiversity hot spot are under major threat due to various factors. Invasion of exotic species has been considered as one of the major threat in the area. In the present study, potential ...
  • Systematic position of Phyllanthus talbotii (Phyllanthaceae), a critically endangered species of Western Ghats, India 
    Naik, Sidhesh S.; Pagare, R.S.; Krishnan, S.; Janarthanam, M.K. (Rheedea. 23; 2013; 13-18.)
    Phyllanthus talbotii Sedgw. (Phyllanthaceae) is endemic to Western Ghats regions of Goa and Karnataka, India and is critically endangered. For a long time, it was known only from the type collection and a subsequent ...
  • Taxonomic status of Strobilanthes warreensis (Acanthaceae), an endemic species of Western Ghats, India 
    Mascarenhas, M.E.; Janarthanam, M.K. (Rheedea. 23; 2013; 1-6.)
    Strobilanthes warreensis Dalzell (Acanthaceae) is endemic to the Western Ghats. Due to its close resemblance to S. ciliatus Nees, it has been critically studied along with the latter and evaluated for its taxonomic status ...
