Mangroves are among the world's most productive ecosystems and a part of the “blue
carbon” sink. They act as a connection between the terrestrial and marine ecosystems …

In the present study, we report the nitrogen fixing potential of heterotrophic diazotrophs
isolated from a tropical estuary and adjacent coastal sea. Results of the study revealed that …

Eleven (11) rhizobacteria identified as Azospirillum sp. isolated from the rhizosphere of
maize plants grown in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria were evaluated for ammonia production …

Heavy metals are known to pose a potential threat to terrestrial and aquatic flora and fauna.
Due to increasing human influence, heavy metal concentrations are rising in many …

Unchecked disposal of wastes into the environment has led to metal contamination in many
ecosystems. The mangroves which are one of the most important habitats across the globe …

Trimethylamine (TMA) is an odorous, toxic compound generated in several manufacturing
processes. Coir pith is an effective material for adsorbing gaseous TMA, and it presents …

Nitrogen fixation by diazotrophic bacteria serve as an important source of fixed nitrogen in
an aquatic ecosystem and thereby directly influence the carbon flux and primary production …

The salinity of the soil exerts an adverse effect on plant development and yield. However,
amid saline stress, certain halophilic bacteria enhance the growth of plants. In this …

The present study was undertaken to investigate the diversity of mangrove-associated
bacterial genera at Manakudy estuary, Southwest coast of India. The root and rhizosphere …

Abstract The distribution of Pb, Ni, Zn, Cu, Cr, Mn, S, P, Na, Ca, K, Si, Al, Fe were studied in
the mangrove sediments across five different sites in Maharashtra. Energy dispersive X-ray …
