Andaman and Nicobar Islands situated in the eastern part of Bay Bengal are one distinguished biodiversity hotspot. Even though number studies carried out on marine flora fauna, actinobacteria from meager. The aim present study was to screen for their characterization identify potential sources industrial pharmaceutical byproducts. A total 26 actinobacterial strains were isolated sediments collected various sites Port Blair where no collection has been characterized previously. Isolates...
Abstract. With the rapid growth in population and economic development, emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) from Indian subcontinent have sharply increased during recent decades. However, evaluation regional fluxes GHGs characterization their spatial temporal variations by atmospheric inversions remain uncertain due to a sparse observation network. As result an Indo-French collaboration, three new stations were established India at Hanle (HLE), Pondicherry (PON) Port Blair (PBL), with...
Antimicrobial properties of several nonpigmented bacteria isolated from the marine environment have been well understood. However, with distinct asset pigmentation not studied intensively and explored unlike bacteria. Recently, studies found multidrug-resistant microbes against various diseases. Therefore, search for alternative novel natural bioactive compounds is in demand at current research. Furthermore, application synthetic colorants food industry has harmful effects; thus, exploring...
This study is aimed to determine the distribution, diversity and bioprospecting aspects of marine pigmented bacteria (MPB) isolated from pristine Andaman Islands, India. A total 180 samples including seawater, sediment, plants, invertebrates, vertebrates were collected investigated for isolating bacteria. Results revealed that seawater colonized with a greater number pertains 27.9 × 103 CFU/mL, 24.1 CFU/mL 6.7 respectively. Orange (21.6 CFU/mL) red (8.0 MPB predominant than other Fourteen...
Abstract Marine actinobacteria are known to be a rich source for novel metabolites with diverse biological activities. In this study, potential extracellular L-asparaginase was characterised from the Streptomyces griseus NIOT-VKMA29. Box-Behnken based optimization used determine culture medium components enhance production. pH, starch, yeast extract and L-asparagine has direct correlation enzyme production maximum yield of 56.78 IU mL −1 . A verification experiment performed validate more...

Biosorption of heavy metals by bio-materials has been posited as a potential alternative to the existing physicochemical technologies for detoxification and recovery toxic valuable from wastewaters. In this context, role mangrove leaf powder (MLP) biosorbent chromium removal was investigated. present study, effect process parameters such particle size, solution pH, initial concentration Cr(VI) ion adsorbent dose on MLP The maximum sorption observed at size 0.5 mm pH 2.0. adsorption data...
A deep-sea fungus Aspergillus sydowii BOBA1 isolated from marine sediment at a depth of 3000 m was capable degrading spent engine (SE) oil. The response immobilized fungi towards degradation elevated pressure studied in customized high reactors without any deviation simulating situ conditions. growth rate A. 0.1 MPa significantly different the 10 pressure. percentage reached 71.2 and 82.5% atmospheric conditions, respectively, within retention period 21 days. complete genome sequence...
