The September 2004 stench off the southern Malabar coast - A consequence of holococcolithophore bloom
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2005)
During the third week of September 2004, particularly on 16th and 17th, an unusual and strong stench was reported from the coast at Kollam and Vizhinjam in Kerala (India). Local dailies reported that over 200 children, ...
Synergy in Sulfur Cycle: The Biogeochemical Significance of Sulfate Reducing Bacteria in Syntrophic Associations
(National Institute of Oceanography, Goa, 2004)
Role of bacteria in DMS(P) cycle
(Solas, 2006)
Dimethyl sulphide (DMS) was reported in
oceanic waters by Lovelock et al., (1972). Its
precursor Dimethyl sulfoniopropionate (DMSP)
is ubiquitous in the euphotic zone especially
in regions dominated by phytoplankton.
The ...
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 ...
A global census of marine microbes
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2010)
In this chapter we provide a brief history of what is known about marine microbial diversity, summarize our achievements in performing a global census of marine microbes, and reflect on the questions and priorities for the ...
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 ...
Monitoring effects of simulated disturbance at INDEX site: Current status and future activities
(International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers, 2003)
During the Indian Deep-Sea Environment Experiment (INDEX), greater than 6000 cu.m of sediment was resuspended 5 m above seafloor. Data collected from deep-towed photography, sediment traps, sediment coring and CTD operations ...
Monsoonal variability in abiotic parameters in coastal waters off Trivandrum evokes press and pulse response in biotic variables
(Centre for Ocean and Environmental Studies, New Delhi, 2012)
Trivandrum Coast experiences coastal upwelling during south west monsoon, which is accompanied by abiotic changes in physio-chemical parameters. The resultant biotic responses could range from an instantaneous pulse to a ...
Deep-water chemosynthetic ecosystem research during the Census of Marine Life decade and beyond: A proposed deep-ocean road map.
(PLoS, 2011)
The ChEss project of the Census of Marine Life (2002-2010) helped foster internationally-coordinated studies worldwide focusing on exploration for, and characterization of new deep-sea chemosynthetic ecosystem sites. This ...
