Vertical migratory rhythms of benthic diatoms in a tropical intertidal sand flat: Influence of irradiance and tides
(Springer, 2004)
Vertical migratory behavior of benthic diatoms is one of the adaptive strategies employed for a life in intertidal habitats. Irradiance and tides are considered to be the key factors governing vertical migration. Experiments ...
Influence of environmental settings on the prevalence of Trichodesmium spp. in the Bay of Bengal
(Inter Research, 2008)
Trichodesmium, an important marine nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria, is widespread in tropical waters and contributes substantially to the global chemical cycles by new production. The interesting and intriguing feature of ...
Effect of ageing on survival of benthic diatom propagules
(Elsevier, 2007)
A comparison of viable benthic diatom propagules based on the observations recorded immediately and after 5 years of ageing at 5oC is presented. The number of viable benthic diatom propagules decreased with ageing. However, ...
Diatoms of the microphytobenthic community in a tropical intertidal sand flat influenced by monsoons: Spatial and temporal variations
(Springer, 2006)
Seasonal variations in the microphytobenthic diatom community were investigated in an intertidal sand flat of a tropical marine environment influenced by monsoons. Cores of sediments were collected along the beach gradient: ...
Cell damage and recovery in cryopreserved microphytobenthic diatoms
(Elsevier, 2006)
Two pennate microphytobenthic diatoms, Amphora coffeaeformis (Agardh) Kutzing and Navicula transitans var. derasa f. delicatula Heimdal, were cryopreserved and monitored on thawing to track the mechanical injuries and their ...
Species interactions within a fouling diatom community: Roles of nutrients, initial inoculum and competitive strategies
(Taylor & Francis, 2007)
Diatoms constitute an important component of the fouling community. Although a lot of work has dealt with the fouling diatom community structure, work on the species interactions within the community is still meager. In ...
Diatom colonization on stainless steel panels in estuarine waters of Goa, west coast of India
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2000)
Temporal variations in diatom fouling was investigated at the Dona Paula Bay located at the mouth of the Zuari Estuary, Goa, India. Stainless steel panels admeasuring 15 x 10 cm were exposed to the environment every month ...
Seasonal variations in the fouling diatom community structure from a monsoon influenced tropical estuary
(Taylor & Francis, 2008)
Seasonal variations in the fouling diatom community from a monsoon influenced tropical estuary were investigated. The community composition did not differ significantly between stainless steel and polystyrene substrata due ...
Diatoms of the microphytobenthic community: Population structure in a tropical intertidal sand flat
(Springer, 2002)
Temporal and spatial variations were investigated in the viable diatom population of the microphytobenthic community from an intertidal sand flat of a tropical environment. The presence of diatoms to a sediment depth of ...
Role of Diatoms in marine biofouling
(CSMCRI, India, 2006)
Diatoms are one of the early colonisers on surfaces submerged in the photic zone of the environment. Their colonisation on man made structures, termed biofouling, has enormous implications in the marine industry. The ...
