Krishnan, K.P., Fernandes, S.O., Chandan, G.S., LokaBharathi, P.A.

The Mandovi and Chapora, (Goa, India) are two tropical estuaries lying in close geographic proximity on the west coast of India. Seasonal changes in down core variation of Fe, Mn and Total Organic...

Effect of carbon source concentration and culture duration on retreivability of bacteria from certain estuarine, coastal and offshore areas around the peninsular India. (2006)

Goltekar, R.C., Krishnan, K.P., DeSouza, M.J.B.D., Paropkari, A.L., LokaBharathi, P.A.

Improved culture-based approaches efficiently compliment the limitations encountered in molecular methods to delineate the diversity and functions of uncultured organisms. The present study...

Tolerance and immobilization of cobalt by some bacteria from ferromanganese crusts of the afanasiy Nikitin Seamounts (2006)

Krishnan, K.P., Fernandes, C.E.G., Fernandes, S.O., LokaBharathi, P.A.

Bacteria isolated from cobalt–enriched ferromanganese crusts on the Afanasiy Nikitin Seamounts in the Equatorial Indian Ocean were examined for their ability to tolerate, and immobilize cobalt in...

Manganese oxidation by bacterial isolates from the Indian Ridge System (2005)

Fernandes, S.O., Krishnan, K.P., Khedekar, V.D., LokaBharathi, P.A.

The abundance and activity of culturable manganese-oxidizing bacteria were assessed from near-bottom water samples of the tectonically active Carlsberg Ridge. Retrievable counts as colony forming...
