Aims: Marine macroalgae are the rich source of biologically active metabolites and potential source for development of novel biotechnological products. The present study was made to explore the metabolically active compounds from the macroalgae of the Andaman & Nicobar Islands. Methods and Material: Different solvents such as methanol (MeOH), ethyl...
Flora and fauna of rocky coastal habitats are versatile in adapting to the prevalent tidal fluctuations. The current study was undertaken to evaluate the diversity of fouling and associated species around the Port Blair coastal areas of Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Except TSS, the hydrographical parameters (temperature , salinity, pH and dissolved...
Abstract: Marine macroalgae are mostly free from fouling organisms in the marine environment. They defend themselves
against fouling directly through the production of antifouling compounds, or indirectly through regulating the attachment
of micro and macrofoulers. In this study, the methanol extracts of 43 species of macroalgae, collected from the...
Acyl homoserine lactones (AHL) are inter-cellular signal molecules and it controls the population density dependent growth behavior of bacteria in a biofilm. The AHL mediated biofilm formation and its inhibition was evaluated using methanol (MeOH), ethyl acetate (EtOAc), n-butanol (n-BuOH) and aqueous (H2O) fractions of 12 marine flora of Andaman a...
Mangroves possess diverse array of bioactive compounds and their antifouling potential was evaluated in five mangrove plants namely, Avicennia marina, Avicennia officinalis, Bruguiera cylindrica, Excoecaria agallocha and Kandelia candel, which were collected from Pichavaram and Goa, India. Methanol (MeOH) extracts of these mangrove leaves were test...
Acyl homoserine lactones (AHL) are inter-cellular signal molecules. They control the population density dependent growth behavior of bacteria in a biofilm. The AHL mediated biofilm formation and its inhibition was evaluated using methanol (MeOH), ethyl acetate (EtOAc), butanol (n-BuOH) and aqueous fractions (H2O) of 12 marine flora of Andaman and N...
Macroalgal (seaweed) biomass contains simple polysaccharides which can be converted to fermentable sugars with less energy intensive pretreatment procedure. Utilizing seaweed as a feedstock to produce biofuel is a promising part of renewable energy sources. Sargassum cinereum is carbohydrate rich and fast growing brown seaweed which could be utiliz...
This study was conducted to investigate the effects of the medicinal mushroom Ganoderma
lucidum (Gl), on biochemical constituents (lipid, protein, glycogen & nucleic acid) of kidney
tissues of rat. Two Gl extracts Ganocelium and Reishy gano (GL-RG) were given by gastric
intubation for 30 days (1st week, a dose of 0.75 mg G1/rat & 0.36 mg RG/rat and...
Many sedentary marine organisms have epibionts or biofoulers on their surface. But, a
variety of sedentary plants and animals in the marine environment are also free from external
fouling. These organisms have evolved strategies to defend themselves from the threat of
fouling.Many marine sponges are among such organisms known to employ chemical def...
