Abstract: Surfaces submerged in seawater are colonized by various microorganisms, resulting in the formation of heterogenic marine biofilms. This work aims to evaluate the biofilm formation by Cobetia marina alex and doing a comparative study between this promising strain with the two bacterial strains isolated previously from the Mediterranean seawater, Alexandria, Egypt. Three strains; Cobetia marina alex, Pseudoalteromonas sp. alex, and... More

Abstract: In coastal areas of our country, in spite of having excess rainfall (more than 3000 mm), groundwater become a rare commodity during summer. Number of researchers have discussed the issues related to water scarcity of coastal areas where there is a huge pressure on environment due to increased population, tourism, agriculture and industrial growth. Fast depletion of groundwater is also reported in coastal districts due to continuous discharge of... More

Abstract: We use the excellent sediment recovery of International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Exp. 363, in the Western Pacific Warm Pool (WPWP) to assess down-core variations in the abundance of warm versus cool benthic foraminiferal species through a warm benthic foraminifers (WBF) curve. The total percentage of the “warm” shallower species group (Laticarinina pauperata, Cibicidoides kullenbergi, C. robertsonianus, Cibicidoides sp., Hoeglundina... More
