Temporal variation of diatom benthic propagules in a monsoon-influenced tropical estuary
(Elsevier, 2008)
Temporal variations in the diatom benthic propagule (DBP) community and their role in the phytoplankton community in a monsoon-affected tropical estuary, Zuari estuary, Goa (India) are presented. The DBP from the sediments ...
Biofilm diatom community structure: Influence of temporal and substratum variability
(Taylor and Francis, 2005)
Diatoms, which are early autotrophic colonisers, are an important constituent of the biofouling community in the marine environment. The effects of substratum and temporal variations on the fouling diatom community structure ...
Occurrence of cyanobacteria - diatom symbiosis in the Bay of Bengal: Implications in biogeochemistry
(Current Science Association, 2010)
Diazotrophs (N sub(2) fixing organisms), mainly belonging to cyanobacteria, form a major group of phytoplankton in nutrient poor oligotrophic oceans. These organisms support non-diazotrophic phytoplankton community and ...
Effect of monsoonal perturbations on the occurrence of phytoplankton blooms in a tropical bay
(Inter-Research, 2015)
In this study, the influence of intraseasonal variations in rainfall and the resultant freshwater flux (monsoon perturbations) on phytoplankton bloom dynamics were evaluated by quantifying live phytoplankton at a fixed ...
Influence of environmental settings on the prevalence of Trichodesmium spp. in the Bay of Bengal
(Inter Research, 2008)
Trichodesmium, an important marine nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria, is widespread in tropical waters and contributes substantially to the global chemical cycles by new production. The interesting and intriguing feature of ...
Phytoplankton chlorophyll-breakdown pathway: Implication in ecosystem assessment
(2020)
The chlorophyll-breakdown to pheophorbide is determined by biotic factors such as grazing (via chlorophyllide) or senescence (via pheophytin). So far, much of the information on chlorophyll-breakdown is available from ...
Simulation experiments to elucidate variable fluorescence as a potential proxy for bulk microalgal viability from natural water, sediments and biofilms: Implication in ships ballast water management
(Elsevier, 2018)
The variable fluorescence fluorometry measuring microalgal biomass (initial fluorescence - F0, a chl-a proxy) and photosynthetic efficiency (Fv/Fm) has been suggested as a potential tool in ballast-water assessment. In ...
Variations in phytoplankton community in a monsoon-influenced tropical estuary
(Springer, 2011)
In a monsoon-affected tropical estuary, oscillations in freshwater discharge during monsoon shifted the phytoplankton blooms from those adapted to low salinity to high salinity and vice versa. Salinity stratification during ...
A first look at the dinoflagellate cysts abundance in the Bay of Bengal: implications on Late Quaternary productivity and climate change
(Current Science Association, 2012)
Abundance and composition of dinoflagellate cysts in a sediment core (SK218/1) from the Bay of Bengal were examined for the last 23 kyr. Cyst abundance at this site varied from 20 to 153 cysts/g dry wt, which is far less ...
Efficiency of copper and cupronickel substratum to resist development of diatom biofilms
(Elsevier, 2015)
This study on the population dynamics of fouling diatoms from a biofouling rich monsoon influenced tropical bay revealed that irrespective of the season and exposure period, the highest diatom abundance and species were ...
