Distribution and antibiotic resistance of vibrio population in an urbanized tropical lake-the Vembanad-in the southwest coast of India.

Among the diverse Vibrio spp. autochthonous to coastal ecosystems, V. cholerae, V.

Probiotics inspired from natural ecosystem to inhibit the growth of spp. causing white gut syndrome in .

Unlabelled: Probiotics inspired by host-microbe interactions in the natural ecosystem are propitious in controlling bacterial infections in aquaculture and veterinary systems. Here we report the isolation and characterization of pathogenic spp. and lactic acid bacteria from an intensive culture system of and natural ecosystem, respectively.

Diversity and seasonal distribution of ammonia-oxidizing archaea in the water column of a tropical estuary along the southeast Arabian Sea.

Diversity and distribution pattern of ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) were studied across a salinity gradient in the water column of Cochin Estuary (CE), a tropical monsoonal estuary along the southeast Arabian Sea. The water column of CE was found to be nutrient rich with high bacterial (3.7-6.

Diversity of sediment-associated Planctomycetes in the Arabian Sea oxygen minimum zone.

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 constructed using the forward primer specific for Planctomycetes and a universal reverse primer. The 237 sequences obtained were grouped into 130 operational taxonomic units, and the majority of them were clustered with phylum Planctomycetes (45.
