Biofouling

Biofouling, also known as biological fouling, is the accumulation of bacteria, plants, algae, or small animals where they are not needed on surfaces like ship and submarine hulls, equipment like water inlets, pipework, grates, ponds, and rivers that compromise the item’s primary function. Anti-fouling refers to a product’s capacity to remove or pre...

The study aimed to assess the diversity and distribution of marine macro fouling arthropoda and mollusks from the coastal and estuarine regions in the Coromandel Coast of Cuddalore, Tamil Nadu, India. The marine macro fouling species were assessed by a quadrate method in the natural and artificial substratum of seven locations. Around 5 species of...

The present study attempt was made on the exploration of Macro Flora in Parangipettai Town panchayats of Cuddalore district, Tamilnadu. The plants were surveyed by Line Transect method and checklist was prepared. About 81 families were recorded in the study area of Parangipettai and it accounts for 0.07 percentage of world floral species diversity....

Calotropis gigantea has been well recognized as sand dune flora in the conservation aspect of coastal biota. However, little is known about the eco-geographical diversities in the phytochemical composition of white floral variety. The present study deals with gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) phytochemical profiling in methanol extracts...

Breast cancer (BRCA1) is a serious problem in the world causing illness and mortality in women. The current study investigated the anticancer potential of the macro-algae Halimeda species against breast cancer protein using arguslab and drug discovery of without clinical trial and constructed a Phylogenetic tree to identify similar organisms and it...

Milkweed or Calotropis gigantea belongs to Asclepiadaceae family having many curative principles in it. This present work aimed to study the phytochemicals prevailing in the Calotropis gigantea during the summer season by GCMS method and some of these phytochemicals tested against the collagen-binding matrix protein (4CN8) produced by the bacterial...

The present study provides account of the angiosperms of CAS in Marine Biology campus, Parangipettai taluk, Cuddalore district in Tamil Nadu state at India. The Cuddalore district which comes under the coastal region of Tamilnadu is one of the important areas in the state as far as plant distribution is concerned. The extensive survey of the area c...

Calotropis gigantea white is a medicinal shrub principally utilized by the rural population from the traditional period. The plant can grow in numerous environments such as fresh and saline water terrestrial plains notably most abundant in the sand dune associated coastal areas. However, the eco-geographical divergences and commonalities in the phy...

This present investigation is to comprehend the influence of natural strands of Calotropis on the essential and non-essential elements of the soil. Triplicates of rhizosphere soil and aerial parts of the plant were collected from four different seasons. The collected soil and plants were analysed for essential and non-essential elements along with...

Terpenoids or terpenes comprise one of the most important groups of active compounds in plants. The current study reports the seasonal variations on the terpenoids in Calotropis gigantea. There are 13 terpenes which belong to monoterpenes, diterpenes, and triterpenes groups were recorded in the study. The Southwest monsoon shows the highest number...

Biofouling particularly micro-fouling is a very complex phenomenon to understand. This present work is carried out to understand the influence of wood type on the development of microfoulers. The panels were constructed by using commercially important hard wood such as Tectona grandis, Pterocarpus Sp, Thespesia populnea and Mangifera indica. The as...

Biofouling mainly micro-fouling is an incredibly intricate occurrence to understand. This present work is carried out to understand the influence of colour on the development of microfoulers. The panels were constructed by using commercially important wood such as Tectona grandis, Pterocarpus Sp, Thespesia populnea and Mangifera indica with and wit...
