Relationship of sediment-biochemistry, bacterial morphology, and activity to geotechnical properties in the central Indian Basin
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)
Distribution of biochemical properties, morphological and functional characteristics of bacteria in the extreme sedimentary environment of the Central Indian Basin (CIB) was examined in relation to geotechnical properties ...
Effects of composition of labile organic matter on biogenic production of methane in the coastal sediments of the Arabian Sea
(Springer, 2011)
Coastal regions are potential zones for production of methane which could be governed by ecological/environmental differences or even sediment properties of a niche. In order to test the hypothesis that methanogenesis in ...
An appraisal of biological responses and network of environmental interactions in non-mining and mining impacted coastal waters
(Springer, 2015)
The coastal waters of Goa and Ratnagiri lying on the West coast of India are influenced by terrestrial influx. However, Goa is influenced anthropogenically by iron-ore mining, while Ratnagiri is influenced by deposition ...
Predominance of anaerobic bacterial community over aerobic community contribute to intensify ‘oxygen minimum zone’ in the eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2011)
The presence of a delicately poised mid-depth oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) makes the Arabian Sea a unique and important ecosystem. So far, various aspects responsible for its formation have been studied. However, the contributions ...
Iron released from ilmenite mineral sustains a phytoplankton community in microcosms
(Walter de Gruyter, 2011)
Natural biotic communities from Kalbadevi Bay were monitored in microcosms (1-l glass flasks) to test the hypothesis that iron released from ilmenite through microbial action contributes to proliferation of phytoplankton. ...
Astrobiological implications of dim light phototrophy in deep-sea red clays
(Elsevier, 2017)
Red clays of Central Indian Basin (CIB) under influence of trace of Rodriguez Triple Junction exhibited chemoautotrophy, low temperature hydrothermal alterations and photoautotrophic potential. Seamount flank TVBC-08, ...
Mixed response in bacterial and biochemical variables to simulated sand mining in placer-rich beach sediments, Ratnagiri, West coast of India
(Springer, 2012)
The influence of mechanical disturbance of sediment-akin to small scale mining on bacterial community and biochemical variables was investigated at Kalbadevi beach, Ratnagiri, a placer-rich beach ecosystem which is a ...
Bacterial response to contrasting sediment geochemistry in the central Indian Basin
(International Association of Sedimentologists, 2011)
In order to investigate whether geochemical, physiographic and lithological differences in two end-member sedimentary settings could evoke varied microbe-sediment interactions, two 25 cm long sediment cores from contrasting ...
Microbial and biochemical alterations due to storage of deep-sea sediments under ambient tropical conditions
(NISCAIR Publications, 2016)
Response of indigenous bacteria to incubation at normal pressure and tropical temperature (28 ± 2°C), were examined in four deep-sea sediments from polymetallic-nodule fields in Central Indian Basin (CIB). Sediments were ...
Interactions between trophic levels in upwelling and non-upwelling regions during summer monsoon
(Elsevier, 2015)
Coastal upwelling is a regular phenomenon occurring along the southwest coast of India during summer monsoon (May–September). We hypothesize that there could be a shift in environmental parameters along with changes in the ...
