sFDvent: A global trait database for deep-sea hydrothermal-vent fauna
(2019)
Traits are increasingly being used to quantify global biodiversity patterns, with trait databases growing in size and number, across diverse taxa. Despite growing interest in a trait?based approach to the biodiversity of ...
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 ...
Microbial activity promotes the enrichment of cobalt over nickel on hydrogenetic ferromanganese crusts
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)
The different mineral phases of the ferromanganese (Fe-Mn) crusts stem from the interaction of biotic and abiotic components. It is therefore vital to study the activity of these components to decipher their contribution ...
Implications of Microbial Thiosulfate Utilization in Red Clay Sediments of the Central Indian Basin: The Martian Analogy
(John Wiley & Sons, 2019)
Microbial thiosulfate utilization and S-disproportionation could be important mechanisms of sulfate-formations on Earth and Mars. Sulfates on Mars date back to late-Noachian to Hesperian period. In contrast, the large ...
Sulfate-Reducing and Sulfur-Oxidizing Bacterial Activity in the Coastal Waters of Arabian Sea During Post Upwelling Season
(Taylor and Francis, 2021)
The synergistic existence of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) and colorless sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (CSOB) involved in nutrient turnover is sparsely documented in coastal waters. To understand the processes mediated by ...
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 ...
Wealth of bioactive molecules from marine bacteria and their applications
(2012)
By the term, "Bioactive molecules" we generally mean a range of compounds produced by living fauna and flora the effect of which tend to improve the status of man�s health, wealth and overall welfare These molecules could ...
