Prokaryotic Diversity in Oxygen Depleted Waters of the Bay of Bengal Inferred Using Culture-Dependent and -Independent Methods
(2019)
There are regions in the world oceans where oxygen saturation is at its lowest, evident at depths between shelf to upper bathyal zone. These regions are known as Oxygen Minimum Zones (OMZs), which reportedly support ...
Comment on a paper by Sibuet et al. (2016) entitled �Thinned continental crust intruded by volcanics beneath the northern Bay of Bengal�
(Elsevier, 2017)
This comment applauds the survey carried out by Sibuet et al. (2016) but authors believe that their principal conclusion is in error. The Northern Bay of Bengal crust is the typical oceanic crust associated with volcanic ...
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 ...
Psychrotrophic metal tolerant bacteria for mobilisation of metals in Antarctic waters
(LIGHTS Research Foundation, 2012)
Cold tolerant psychrotrophic bacteria abound in the Antarctic waters. While Antarctic krills are known to concentrate heavy metals at ppm levels, psychrotrophic bacteria from Antarctic fresh and marine waters have been ...
Deep-sea mining: Current status and future considerations
(Springer, 2017)
Deep-sea minerals such as polymetallic nodule, hydrothermal sulphides, and ferro-manganese crusts have for long attracted attention as an alternative source of metals to terrestrial deposits. The occurrence of many of these ...
Investigations of the spatial and temporal variations of Sr and Nd isotopes in sediments from two Indian Rivers: Implications to source identification
(Wiley, 2017)
Radiogenic isotopes of Sr and Nd provide crucial information on chemical and physical erosion processes, therefore used as tracers for fingerprinting the sources of fluvial sediments. Moreover, elemental geochemistry, ...
New record of Loricophyra stresemanni (Ciliophora: Suctorea) as epibiont on nematodes from the Indian Ocean and notes on the genus Loricophrya
(2019)
The article is dedicated to the re-discovery of suctorian ciliate Loricophrya stresemanni found on nematodes from Miramar bay (Arabian Sea), Goa, west coast of India. The morphological characterizations of collected ciliate ...
Quasi-biweekly oscillations in the Bay of Bengal in observations and model simulations
(Elsevier Ltd, 2019)
Intraseasonal oscillations (ISOs) significantly contribute to the variability and strength of rainfall associated with the Indian Summer Monsoon. The westward-propagating, 10-20-day, quasi-biweekly ISO (QBWISO), in association ...
Molecular phylogeny of Neodevriesia, with two new species and several new combinations
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)
To identify Cladosporium-like isolates associated with marine algae, phylogenetic analyses were conducted using a combined data set of the nuc rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region (ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 = ITS), 28S gene, ...
Carbon Dioxide Sequestering Ability of Bacterial Carbonic Anhydrase in a Mangrove Soil Microcosm and Its Bio-mineralization Properties
(2019)
In this study, we attempt to prospect potential bacterial isolates from mangrove sediments of Mangalavanam, Kerala, India, with positive carbonic anhydrase (CA) activity to sequester carbon dioxide by calcium precipitation ...
