Spatio-temporal Variations in Bacterial Abundance with an Emphasis on Fecal Indicator Bacteria and Vibrio spp. in and around Visakhapatnam Port, East Coast of India
(UGM Press, 2020)
The ecological health of port environments, which are dynamic and hotspots of anthropogenic activities, can be analyzed using specific pathogenic bacteria as they provide definite evidence and source of pollution. The ...
Habitat characteristics mediated partitioning of economically important bivalves in a tropical monsoon-influenced estuary
(Springer, 2020)
Bivalves are benthic organisms inhabiting coastal marine habitats, especially estuarine tidal and mudflats. Due to their high stocking density and rich protein content, they form a major part of the artisanal fishery ...
How does frontal age influence physiological status of bacteria: a case study from the Northeastern Arabian Sea
(Springer, 2021)
Sea surface temperature fronts in the Northeastern Arabian Sea (NEAS) facilitate nutrient enhancement in the surface layers, resulting in high primary production. Such high production areas contribute to the accumulation ...
Changes in the ballast water tank bacterial community during a trans-sea voyage: Elucidation through next generation DNA sequencing
(Academic Press, 2020)
Ballast water (BW) mediated bioinvasion is one of the greatest threats to the health of aquatic ecosystems. Bacteria, unlike higher organisms, are transferred in large numbers through BW. Owing to their abundance and ...
Short term response of plankton community to nutrient enrichment in central eastern Arabian Sea: Elucidation through mesocosm experiments
(Elsevier, 2021)
Oligotrophic waters (OW), generally favour longer food chain facilitated by the microbial loop. In such ecosystems, physical mixing (e.g. upwelling, and winter convection) inject nutrients and propagules from subsurface ...
Fatty acids as indicators of sediment organic matter dynamics in a monsoon-influenced tropical estuary
(Elsevier, 2021)
Sedimentary organic matter (OM) composition serves as a biomarker and helps in hindcast analysis of the events in the habitat. The present study was carried out on a monthly basis to evaluate the contribution of different ...
Response of the bacterial metagenome in port environments to changing environmental conditions
(Elsevier, 2021)
Port environments are highly dynamic and hotspots for marine bioinvasion. This study investigated the bacterial diversity at two geographically distant ports (Mangalore-marine port; and Haldia-riverine port) using ...
