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 ...
Denitrification activity is closely linked to the total ambient Fe concentration in mangrove sediments of Goa, India
(Elsevier, 2013)
Denitrification activity is closely linked to the total ambient Fe concentration in mangrove sediments of Goa, India Denitrification activity (DNT) and associated environmental parameters were examined in two mangrove ...
Heavy metal pollution exerts reduction/adaptation in the diversity and enzyme expression profile of heterotrophic bacteria in Cochin estuary, India
(Elsevier, 2011)
Over the past three decades heavy metal pollution has increased substantially in Cochin estuary, south west coast of India. The distribution, diversity and enzyme expression profile of culturable microbial population along ...
State of knowledge of coastal and marine biodiversity of Indian Ocean countries
(Public Library of Science, 2011)
The Indian Ocean (IO) extends over 30% of the global ocean area and is rimmed by 36 littoral and 11 hinterland nations sustaining about 30% of the world’s population. The landlocked character of the ocean along its northern ...
Mobilization of manganese by basalt associated Mn(II)-oxidizing bacteria from the Indian Ridge System
(Elsevier, 2014)
The Indian Ridge System basalt bearing Mn-oxide coatings had todorokite as the major and birnesite as the minor mineral. We posit that microorganisms associated with these basalts participate in the oxidation of Mn and ...
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 ...
Online Stable Isotope Analysis of Dissolved Organic Carbon Size Classes Using Size Exclusion Chromatography Coupled to an Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer
(American Chemical Society, 2012)
Stable isotopic content of dissolved organic carbon (delta sup(13)C-DOC) provides valuable information on its origin and fate. In an attempt to get additional insights into DOC cycling, we developed a method for delta ...
Diversity in transcripts and translational pattern of stress proteins in marine extremophiles
(Springer, 2011)
Extremophiles occur in a diverse range of habitats, from the frigid waters of Antarctic to the superheated plumes of hydrothermal vents. Their in-depth study could provide important insights into the biochemical, ecological ...
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, ...
