Wind-wave measurements and modelling in the shallow semi-enclosed Palk Bay
(2019)
Wind-wave characteristics of the Palk Bay, a semi-enclosed water body, are studied by the wave measurements carried out at 2 locations during a one-year period. The analysis of wave data sets shows that wind-sea dominates ...
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 ...
Flood estimation at ungauged catchments of western catchments of Karnataka, West coast of India
(2019)
Many catchments in India are devoid of gauging stations. In the absence of measurements of stream flow, regional rainfall-runoff relationships developed over a hydro-meteorologically similar region may be used to estimate ...
Optimization of the taxonomic resolution of an indicator taxon for cost-effective ecological monitoring: Perspectives from a heterogeneous tropical coastline
(2019)
An important requirement towards formulating appropriate management and conservation measures for biological diversity is to devise efficient and cost-effective monitoring protocols that yield coherent data. Environmental ...
Interactions of sulfur and methane-oxidizing bacteria in tropical estuarine sediments
(2019)
The bacterial oxidation of sulfur and methane is central to the biogeochemical processes in sediments such as the tropical mangrove sediments. However, there is a lacuna of information on the seasonal interactions including ...
Genome analysis of Marinobacter phage AS1 suggests its close interactions with host Marinobacter sp.
(2019)
Marinobacter comprises a widespread and ecologically significant genus of marine bacteria with vast metabolic capabilities. However, very few reports on phages infecting this genus exist. In this study, we isolated and ...
Chromate detoxification potential of Staphylococcus sp. isolates from an estuary
(2019)
Chromium (Cr) pollution is an emerging environmental problem. The present study was carried out to isolate Cr-resistant bacteria and characterize their Cr detoxification and resistance ability. Bacteria screened by exposure ...
Spatial and temporal variations in source, diagenesis, and fate of organic matter in sediments of the Netravati River, India
(2019)
Organic matter (OM) such as organic nitrogen plays a substantial role in the global biogeochemical cycling of bio-reactive components-amino acids (AA) in aquatic environments. Spatial and temporal variations in source, ...
On the physical interpretation of the lead relation between Warm Water Volume and the El Ni�o Southern Oscillation
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2019)
The Warm Water Volume (WWV), a proxy for the equatorial Pacific heat content, is the most widely used oceanic precursor of the El Ni�o Southern Oscillation (ENSO). The standard interpretation of this lead relation in the ...
Seasonal variation in Beta-glucosidase-producing culturable bacterial diversity in a monsoon-influenced tropical estuary
(2019)
The episodic monsoon condition in a tropical estuarine environment inputs high allochthonous materials that are rich in carbohydrates and are mainly broken down by enzymatic hydrolysis thus alter both organic matter and ...
