Phosphate solubilizing bacteria and alkaline phosphatase activity in coastal waters off Trivandrum
(Centre for Ocean and Environmental Studies, New Delhi, 2012)
Phosphorus is a key nutrient in marine environment. Phosphate solubilising bacteria (PSB) have the ability to solubilise ionic forms of orthophosphoric acid to free form of phosphrous in the water column. Both PSB and ...
Interplay of diverse environmental settings and their influence on the plankton community off Myanmar during the spring intermonsoon.
(Elsevier, 2014)
The northern Andaman Sea including the Myanmar waters is one of the least studied regions of the northern Indian Ocean. The freshwater and suspended sediments carried by Ayeyawady/Irrawaddy, the peculiar surface circulation, ...
Structure-Function Elucidation of a New ?-Conotoxin, MilIA, from Conus milneedwardsi
(2019)
The a-Conotoxins are peptide toxins that are found in the venom of marine cone snails and they are potent antagonists of various subtypes of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). Because nAChRs have an important role ...
Investigation of XBT and XCTD biases in the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal with implications for climate studies
(American Meteorological Society, 2011)
Long time series of XBT data in the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea are valuable datasets for exploring and understanding climate variability. However, such studies of interannual and longer-scale variability of temperature ...
A study on the characteristics of temperature inversions in active and break phases of Indian summer monsoon
(Elsevier, 2013)
The thermal inversion characteristics during active and break cycles of two consecutive and contrasting monsoon years were studied using GPS radiosonde profiles in Goa (15 degrees 46′ N; 73 degrees 08′ E), located on the ...
Adaptation of marine derived fungus Chaetomium globosum (NIOCC 36) to alkaline stress using antioxidant properties
(Elsevier, 2011)
The fungi are an exceptionally useful model in elucidating the cell functions under extreme conditions (temperature, salinity, and pH values) and mechanisms underlying adaptation to those extreme environmental conditions. ...
Microlevel mapping of coastal geomorphology and coastal resources of Rameswaram island, India: A remote sensing and GIS perspective
(Coastal Education and Reserch Foundation, 2010)
Coastal areas are facing serious threats from both manmade and natural disturbances; coastal erosion, sea-level variation, and cyclones are the major factors that alter the coastal topography and coastal resources of the ...
Pre- and post-monsoonal changes in grain size and heavy minerals in the sediments from Kalbadevi Bay, Ratnagiri, west coast of India
(NISCAIR (CSIR), 2011)
Sediments from the Kalbadevi Bay, Ratnagiri collected during January, May and October have been studied for processes responsible for the observed grain size variations and heavy mineral distribution. The study shows ...
Distribution and abundance of mysid shrimps (Crustacea: Mysidacea) in the Northern Indian Ocean.
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)
The distribution and abundance of mysids were studied based on materials collected from the upper 1000 m of the Northern Indian Ocean (Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of India) during the period 2002–2006. A greater abundance ...
Recent advances in marine drug research
(Elsevier, 2013)
Structures and properties of promising marine anti-cancer, anti-inflammation and anti-infectious (HIV, HSV, malaria, leishmania) compounds reported during 2008–2011 are discussed. Wherever possible, attempts have also been ...
