Effects of composition of labile organic matter on biogenic production of methane in the coastal sediments of the Arabian Sea
(Springer, 2011)
Coastal regions are potential zones for production of methane which could be governed by ecological/environmental differences or even sediment properties of a niche. In order to test the hypothesis that methanogenesis in ...
Pollution monitoring of coastal and estuarine areas: 1. Bacterial indicators along the south Gujarat Coast
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2000)
A study was undertaken to assess the validity of enteric and supplemental bacterial indicators along the 115-km length of the south Gujarat region (India). Enteric organisms like Proteus and Klebsiella, Escherichia coli, ...
A deep-sea bacterium with unique nitrifying property
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2001)
Sediment cores collected from the Central Indian Basin (10°1¢–10°2¢S, 75°59¢–76°2¢E) harboured a high population of nitrifying bacteria which ranged from 103 to 107 cfu per gram dry weight. This high density could contribute ...
FiveS rRNA sequences and fatty acid profiles of colourless sulfur-oxidising bacteria
(Publ. and Inf. Dir., New Delhi, India, 1994)
Colourless sulfur-oxidising bacteria have been encountered extensively in the oxygen minimum layers of the Arabian Sea. These oligotrophs have been known to mediate nitrogen cycle reductively even under autotrophic conditions. ...
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 ...
Nitrate and sulfate reducers-retrievable number of bacteria and their activities in Indian waters
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 1992)
Culturable heterotrophic, nitrate reducing and sulfate reducing bacteria (HB, NRB and SRB) were enumerated from 25, 50, 100 and 200 m depths at 15 stations and their potential activities viz. Nitrate reducing (NRA) and ...
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 ...
