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 ...
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 ...
Characterization of seafloor pockmark seepage of hydrocarbons employing fractal: A case study from the western continental margin of India
(Elsevier, 2012)
A quantitative technique is applied to describe the seafloor seepages based on the multi-beam backscatter and bathymetric investigations to characterize the pockmark morphology. The variable seafloor backscatter strength ...
Life cycle of eddies along the western boundary of the Bay of Bengal and their implications
(Elsevier, 2012)
Analysis of vertical thermohaline structure along the western boundary of the Bay of Bengal revealed many undulations during April–May 2003. A prominent feature noticed was a dome in the northwestern boundary of the Bay ...
Phosphate solubilizing bacteria and alkaline phosphatase activity in coastal waters off Trivandrum
(Centre for Ocean and Environmental Studies, New Delhi, 2012)
Phosphorus is a key nutrient in marine environment. Phosphate solubilising bacteria (PSB) have the ability to solubilise ionic forms of orthophosphoric acid to free form of phosphrous in the water column. Both PSB and ...
Statistical analysis on extreme wave height
(Springer, 2012)
The classical extreme value theory based on generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution and generalized Pareto distribution (GPD) is applied to the wave height estimate based on wave hindcast data covering a period of 31 ...
Study of ecological consequence of the bloom (Noctiluca miliaris) in off shore waters of the Northern Arabian Sea
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2012)
Ship based observations during early March 2007 in oceanic waters of the Northeastern Arabian Sea followed by phytoplankton analysis indicated that the bloom Noctiluca miliaris, species of dinoflagellate, dominated oceanic ...
Upper ocean variability in the Bay of Bengal during the tropical cyclones Nargis and Laila
(Elsevier, 2012)
Upper ocean variability at different stages in the evolution of the tropical cyclones Nargis and Laila is evaluated over the Bay of Bengal (BoB) during May 2008 and May 2010 respectively. Nargis initially developed on 24 ...
Dynamics and diversity of phosphate mineralizing bacteria in the coral reefs of Gulf of Mannar
(WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH, 2012)
Phosphatase Producing Bacteria (PPB) and Inorganic Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria (IPSB) are important to reef nutrition. These microbes and phosphate concentration play a significant role in the productivity of coral ...
