Denitrification activity in mangrove sediments varies with associated vegetation
(Elsevier, 2016)
To test the hypothesis that mangrove vegetation associated sediment characteristics could influence an ecologically important function such as denitrification, a study was carried out at the Divar mangrove ecosystem in ...
Study of changes in bacterial and viral abundance in formaldehyde - Fixed water samples by epifluorescence microscopy
(Springer, 2011)
Accurate measurement of bacterial and viral abundance in coastal marine environments is important to understand the dynamics of microbial communities in these ecosystems. In this study, the effect of formaldehyde preservation ...
Coupling of bacterial nitrification with denitrification and anammox supports N removal in intertidal sediments (Arcachon Bay, France)
(Elsevier, 2016)
Microbial activity measurements and molecular approaches were combined to study temporal variation in nitrogen (N) removal mechanisms from muddy and sandy intertidal sediments (Arcachon Bay, France). Stable isotopes ...
Isolation and characterization of antibacterial compound from a mangrove-endophytic fungus, Penicillium chrysogenum MTCC 5108
(Association of Microbiologists of India, 2012)
Microorganisms, especially endophytic fungi that reside in the tissue of living mangrove plants, seem to play a major role in meeting the general demand for new biologically active substances. During the course of screening ...
The Indian Ocean nodule field-: Geology and resource potential
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2018)
This edition provides a view of the most recent studies along with classical theories starting from the 1960s. New concepts, hypotheses and critical appreciation of the state-of-the-art knowledge on nodule formation and ...
Sources and fate of organic matter in suspended and bottom sediments of the Mandovi and Zuari estuaries, Western India
(Current Science Association, 2015)
Organic carbon (OC), total nitrogen (TN) and stable carbon and nitrogen isotopic compositions were measured in suspended particulate matter (SPM) and surface sediment along estuaries of Mandovi and Zuari rivers, two small ...
DNA damage in marine rock oyster (Saccostrea Cucullata) exposed to environmentally available PAHs and heavy metals along the Arabian Sea coast
(Elsevier, 2018)
Molecular biomarkers are used world wide for quick assessment of the immediate effect of environmental pollution on marine ecosystems. Recently, we evaluated oxidative stress responses of marine rock oyster, Saccostrea ...
Manglicolous fungi from Chorao mangroves, Goa, West coast of India: Diversity and frequency of occurrence
(E. Schweizerbart'sche Verlagsbuchhandlung, 2013)
In this paper marine fungi colonizing the decomposing substrata belonging to Rhizophora mucronata and Avicennia marina, at Chorao mangroves, Mandovi river, Goa, West coast of India, are reported. Totally, 45 fungal species ...
Record of bi-operculate fouling serpulid polychaete, Hydroides operculatus (Treadwell, 1929) from Diu, west coast of India
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2012)
The bi-operculate form of fouling serpulid polychaete, Hydroides operculatus Treadwell, 1929 was studied. This variant was found in samples collected from Diu, North West coast of India. A perusal of literature indicates ...
Submarine silicic volcanism: Processes and products
(Indian Society for Earth, Planetary and Environmental Sciences (ISEPES), Odisha, 2012)
The occurrence of submarine silicic volcanics is rare at the mid-oceanic ridges, abyssal depths, seamounts and fracture zones. Hydrothermal processes are active in submarine silicic environments and are associated with ...
