Denitrification activity in mangrove sediments varies with associated vegetation
(Elsevier, 2016)
To test the hypothesis that mangrove vegetation associated sediment characteristics could influence an ecologically important function such as denitrification, a study was carried out at the Divar mangrove ecosystem in ...
Bacterial activity in hydrogenetic ferromanganese crust from the Indian Ocean: A combined geochemical, experimental and pyrosequencing study
(Springer, 2017)
The Afanasiy-Nikitin Seamount (ANS) in the Equatorial Indian Ocean harbors hydrogenetic ferromanganese (Fe-Mn) crusts. It was hypothesized that the bacteria associated with the crust catalyze the precipitation of metal ...
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, ...
Alkaline phosphatase: An appraisal of its critical role in c-limited deep-sea sediments of central Indian Basin
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2017)
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is a hydrolase that releases phosphate, a crucial nutrient supporting formation of many macromolecules. The oligotrophic sediments of Central Indian Basin (CIB) were examined for the extent of ...
