Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCorrelation of Biodiversity of Algal Genera with Special Reference to the Waste Water Effluents from IndustriesRitu Singh Rajput, Sonali Pandey, Seema BhadauriaPollution is the introduction of contaminants, which cause adverse change, into the natural environment and mainly from external inputs like sewage, waste from industries, oil spills and agricultural use of pesticides. Anthropogenic activity-reflected in the use of toxic metals and organic pollutants-has increased levels of soil contamination and damage to aquatic systems. Ecosystems maintain water quality and withstand pressure from … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 9 Dec 2016 · 8,608 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Fungal Communities in Limed and Unlimed Lands Contaminated with Metals: Phospholipid Fatty Acid (PLFA) Analysis and Soil RespirationKassandre Goupil, Kabwe K. Nkongolo, Sabah NasserullaNorthern Ontario (Canada) especially the Greater Sudbury region is highly known for its nickel, copper and other metal deposits. The mining, roasting and smelting of these elements have caused disastrous effects on the vegetation and overall environment. Dolomitic lime which contains calcium and magnesium carbonate was applied to soils from 1980 to 1995 at different locations across Northern Ontario. The … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 26 May 2015 · 8,094 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRestoration of Biodiversity and EcosystemIgnacio Santa-Regina, M. C. Santa-ReginaSuccession is one of the most studied processes in ecology and succession theory provides strong predictability. However, few attempts have been made to influence the course of succession thereby testing the hypothesis that the passage of one stage is essential to enter a next one. At each stage of succession ecosystem processes may be affected by the diversity of species … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 10 Mar 2013 · 6,984 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBACTERIAL ISOLATES OF MARINE COAST AS COMMERCIAL PRODUCER OF PROTEASES. Das, I. Mukherjee, M. Sudarshan et al.The objective of this work was to explore and exploit the extracellular protease secreting marine microbial biodiversity of the eastern coastal region of India. Culture dependent method was applied for isolation of microbes from the marine coast of West Bengal (Digha and Mandarmani) and Andhra Pradesh (Vizag) in India. Six protease secreting isolates were screened using casein hydrolysing property as … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 8 Aug 2012 · 8,795 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEast Kolkata Wetland: A Multifunctional Niche of International ImportanceI. Mukherjee, S. Ray Chaudhuri, D. Ghosh, A. R. ThakurProblem statement: In the megacity Kolkata, the need for space to accomodate the ever increasing population is increasing day by day. As a result the encoarchment of the large wetland on the eastern frindge of the city is increasing and so is the threat of its loosing the status of Ramsar Status. Approach: Proper documentation of the existing traditional practice … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 31 Jul 2012 · 9,082 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioautography Guided Identification of Anticandidal Compounds from A. terreus st. 1B. K. Nagaraja, R. Sripathy, C. N. Ramchand, M. SundararamanProblem statement: Saprophytic and soil inhabiting microorganisms are prolific producers of secondary metabolites with wide range of structural and functional diversity. The objective of the current study was to screen and evaluate the anti-candidal properties of soil inhabiting fungi. Approach: Preliminary dual culture assay and bioautography was used to screen the fungi with potential anti-fungal activity and direct detection of … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 1 Dec 2011 · 7,629 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBheri-A Unique Example of Biological Complex SystemIndranil Mukherjee, Pranami Bhaumik, Madhusmita Mishra et al.Problem statement: This study is a unique attempt to characterize Bheri (shallow flat bottom waste water fed fishery) as a complex biological system. Approach: The characterization was done both at the qualitative and the quantitative levels. The diverse microbial community and the associated emergent behaviors resulting in integrated resource recovery by the Bheris were analyzed under the lens of complexity … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,770 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Study of Soluble Sulfate Reduction by Bacterial Consortia from Varied Regions of IndiaPoonam Nasipuri, Gauri G. Pandit, Ashoke Ranjan Thakur, Shaon Ray ChaudhuriSoluble sulfate contamination in water is observed due to various industrial activities. Chemical means of reduction are available yet the biological approach is the preferred one. Problem statement: The problem addressed in this study was the isolation of efficient sulfate reducing bacterial consortia for bioremediation of soluble sulfate from mining effluent. Approach: The culture based method using the DSMZ specific … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,338 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordDiversity and Resistance of Bacteria Isolated from a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) Surfaces and the Hands of Nurses in Jeddah-Saudi ArabiaRoqaiah M. Al-Jabri, Ahmed M. Al-Hejin, Rukaia Gashgari et al.Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs) are a serious problem for neonates when admitted to NICUs. The healthcare environment and healthcare workers' hands may be a source of transmission. Therefore, there is a need to find microbial sources and identify the contaminants to improve disinfection protocols to reduce HAIs. Out of the 169 samples collected on nutrient agar media from NICUs of a … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 5 Aug 2022 · 5,828 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordDeveloping a System for Antibacterial Treatment of Dental Caries using Culture Based ApproachM. Mishra, S. Ghosh, L. E. Alex et al.Problem statement: Dental caries is a chronic disease worldwide, caused mainly by microbes. The orthograde approaches still remain the only option of treatment. Lack of rapid antibiotic sensitivity determination of the dental pathogen is a rate limiting step in the field of Dental Microbiology. Approach: The culture dependent analysis was used for the study of oral microflora from five healthy … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 18 May 2012 · 9,061 accessesView PDFCite
