The tree layer vegetation of two protected ecosystems i.e. Similipal Biosphere Reserve (SBR) and Bhitarkanika National Park (BNP) of eastern ghat was analysed for structure, composition and diversity. With respect to the tree species composition the two protected ecosystems were differed from each other at the family, genera and species level. About 117 tree species representing 85 genera and 4...

We report the 6.1-Mb genome sequence of Rhodococcus ruber strain BKS 20-38, isolated from the palm tree rhizosphere soil of Bhitarkanika National Park, Odhisha, India. The draft genome sequence of strain BKS 20-38 consists of 6,126,900 bp, with a G+C content of 69.72%, 5,716 protein-coding genes, and 49 RNAs.

background and objective: bhitarkanika is the mangrove ecosystem of orissa, india. it was not explored before for occur  rence and distribution of streptomyces . with the aim of isolation and characterization of special group of bacteria from this mangrove ecosystem, the present study has been made. materials and methods: isolates of streptomyces were obtained from plant, soil and water collect...

We report the first records of Aedes fumidus and Ae. amesii from India based on collections made in mangrove forests of Bhitarkanika in Orissa, Sunderbans, in West Bengal, and Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Collection details include date, location, material examined, larval habitat, and associated species.

We report the 5.8-Mb genome sequence of Rhodococcus triatomae BKS 15-14, isolated from an ant hill soil sample, collected from Bhitarkanika Mangrove Reserve Forest, Odisha, India. The draft genome of strain BKS 15-14 consists of 5,824,349 bp, with a G+C content of 69%, 5,387 protein-coding genes, and 57 RNAs.

We report the 5.8-Mb genome sequence of Rhodococcus qingshengii strain BKS 20-40, isolated from a palm tree rhizosphere soil sample from Bhitarkanika National Park, Odisha, India. The strain is capable of degrading cholesterol moiety. The draft genome of strain BKS 20-40 consists of 6,601,618 bp, with 62.4% G+C content.

This paper proposes a novel hyperspectral matching algorithm by integrating the stochastic Jeffries-Matusita measure (JM) and the deterministic Spectral Angle Mapper (SAM), to accurately map the species and the associated landcover types of the mangroves of east coast of India using hyperspectral satellite images. The JM-SAM algorithm signifies the combination of a qualitative distance measure ...

Nine isolates of cellulose-degrading Actinomycetes were isolated from different sediment samples from the Bhitarkanika Mangrove Forest. Cellulase and hydrolytic activity was confirmed with clear zone around the colony on basal salt agar medium using Congo Red. The enzyme assays for two enzymes, filter paper cellulase (FPCase), and carboxymethylcellulase (CMCase), were examined by methods recomm...
