Background A simple hydrothermal process was applied to synthesize the doped TiO 2
particles with different concentrations as well as different metal ions (Mn, Ce and La) …

The culturable bacterial diversity of four hot springs of India was analysed, employing
different media and screened for temperature tolerance (40 C-70 C). Sixty morphotypes from …

Marine bacteria have been exceptional sources of halotolerant enzymes since decades. The
aim of the present study was to isolate bacteria producing hydrolytic enzymes from seven …

Present study investigates the cultivable diversity of root-associated bacteria from a
medicinal plant Ajuga bracteosa in the Kangra valley, in order to determine their plant …

Abstract The West Coast of India (WCI) is influenced largely by semi-annual changes in the
wind pattern and monsoonal currents. This is reported to cause upwelling which increases …

Depletion of oxygen in certain marine areas creates oxygen minimum zones (OMZs), which
can alter the species composition and abundance. We have carried out high-throughput 16S …

Biogeochemistry of oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) sediments, which are characterized by
high input of labile organic matter, have crucial bearings on the benthic biota, gas and metal …

The marine microbiome is a complex and least-understood habitat, which play a significant
role in global biogeochemical cycles. The present study reported the culture-independent …

Marine environments are substantially untapped source for the isolation of bacteria with the
capacity to produce various extracellular hydrolytic enzymes, which have important …

We examined the diversity of Planctomycetes in the sediment sample collected from an
oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) in the southeast Arabian Sea. A 16SrRNA gene library was …
