Denitrifying bacterial community composition changes associated with stages of denitrification in oxygen minimum zones
(Springer, 2009)
Denitrification in the ocean is a major sink for fixed nitrogen in the global N budget, but the process is geographically restricted to a few oceanic regions, including three oceanic oxygen minimum zones (OMZ) and hemipelagic ...
Nitrogen cycling in the suboxic waters of the Arabian Sea
(Springer, 2006)
Arabian Sea contains one of the world's three large oxygen deficient zones (ODZ). Within the ODZ oxygen concentration is vanishingly small between about 200 and 800 m depth and in this depth interval denitrifications is ...
Seasonal oxygen deficiency over the western continental shelf of India
(Springer, 2006)
The North Indian Ocean contains about two-third of the global continental-margin area affected by natural oxygen deficiency (O2 less than 0.2 mL L sup(-1)) in the water column. Also, the littoral countries of this ...
The nitrogen cycle in the Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2005)
Despite their importance for the global oceanic nitrogen (N) cycle, estimates of N fluxes in the Arabian Sea remain in considerable uncertainty. In this report, we summarize current knowledge of important processes, including ...
Diversity of nitrite reductase genes (nirS) in the denitrifying water column of the coastal Arabian Sea
(Inter-Research, 2004)
Denitrification often occurs in the water column, underlying zones of intense productivity and decomposition in upwelling regions. In the denitrifying zone off the southwest coast of India, high concentrations of nitrite ...
Recent advances in the biogeochemistry of nitrogen in the ocean
(The European Geosciences Union, 2008)
Recent research has shown that marine nitrogen cycle is more dynamic, less well understood, and much more exciting than previously thought. However, despite impressive and rapid advances in our understanding of many important ...
