Oceanic mesoscale turbulence drives large biogeochemical interannual variability at middle and high latitudes
(American Geophysical Union, 2014)
Observed phytoplankton interannual variability has been commonly related to atmospheric variables and climate indices. Here we showed that such relation is highly hampered by internal variability associated with oceanic ...
Discovery of a new subclass of alpha-conotoxins in the venom of Conus australis
(Elsevier, 2014)
Cone snails (Conus sp.) are poisonous animals that can be found in all oceans where they developed a venomous strategy to prey or to defend. The venom of these species contains an undeniable source of unique and potent ...
Nitrate reducing activity pervades surface waters during upwelling.
(Elsevier, 2014)
Nitrate reducing activity (NRA) is known to be mediated by microaerophilic to anaerobic bacteria and generally occurs in the sub-surface waters. However, we hypothesize that NRA could become prominent in the surface waters ...
Construction and screening of 2-aryl benzimidazole library identifies a new antifouling and antifungal agent.
(RSC, 2014)
Biofouling is the undesirable growth of organisms on artificial and natural structures immersed in either seawater or freshwater. It causes huge economic loss and also the global prohibition on known antifouling agents has ...
Benthic mineralization and nutrient exchange over the inner continental shelf of western India.
(European Geosciences Union, 2014)
The western Indian continental shelf is one of the most productive coastal systems of the world ocean. This system experiences extreme changes in its oxygen regime, being normoxic from November to May and suboxic ...
