Isolation and structure elucidation of halymeniaol, a new antimalarial sterol derivative from the red alga Halymenia floresii
(2018)
A new mono-hydroxy acetylated sterol derivative: 12?-hydroxy-3?, 15?, 16?-triacetoxy-cholest-5-en-7-one (halymeniaol) (1), and cholesterol (2) were isolated from the marine red alga Halymenia floresii. The structure of the ...
Large-scale mass wasting on the Miocene continental margin of western India
(2019)
A giant mass-transport complex was recently discovered in the eastern Arabian Sea, exceeding in volume all but one other known complex on passive margins worldwide. The complex, named the Nataraja Slide, was drilled by ...
An inter-site study of biofouling recruitment on static immersion panels in major ports of South East Asia and India
(ASEAN Committee on Science and Technology (COST), 2018)
Limited knowledge of native marine biodiversity hinders effective biodiversity management to safeguard South and Southeast Asia�s marine coastal environment against the threat of invasive species transfer through shipping. ...
Natural decadal sea-level variability in the Indian Ocean: lessons from CMIP models
(2019)
Indian Ocean decadal sea-level variability is an active research area, with many unresolved questions due to inadequate observational coverage. In this study, we analyse 26 Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) ...
Enzymatic saccharification of seaweeds into fermentable sugars by xylanase from marine Bacillus sp. strain BT21
(Springer, 2017)
Enzymatic hydrolysis of seaweed biomass was studied using xylanase produced from marine bacteria Bacillus sp. strain BT21 through solid-state fermentation of wheat bran. Three types of seaweeds, Ahnfeltia plicata, Padina ...
Differential Protein Expression in Shewanella seohaensis Decolorizing Azo Dyes
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2019)
Microbial remediation is an ecologically safe alternative to controlling environmental pollution caused by toxic aromatic compounds including azo dyes. Marine bacteria show excellent potential as agents of bioremediation. ...
Effects of freshwater stratification on nutrients, dissolved oxygen, and phytoplankton in the Bay of Bengal
(The Oceanography Society, 2016)
The Bay of Bengal (BoB) is strongly density stratified due to large freshwater input from various rivers and heavy precipitation. This strong vertical stratification, along with physical processes, regulates the transport ...
Carbonate delta drift: A new sediment drift type
(Elsevier, 2018)
Based on high-resolution reflection seismic and core data from IODP Expedition 359 we present a new channel-related drift type attached to a carbonate platform slope, which we termed delta drift. Like a river delta, it is ...
Assessment of phytoplankton photo-physiological status from a tropical monsoonal estuary
(2019)
Assessment of phytoplankton physiological responses to abiotic changes provides valuable insights into the health of an ecosystem. The variable fluorescence (F v = F m -F 0 ), photosynthetic efficiency (F v /F m ), and ...
Numerical Modelling of Ballast Water Dispersion in Different Bioregions along the Coast of India
(ASEAN Committee on Science and Technology (COST), 2018)
Aquatic organisms and pathogens may become major threats to the coastal and marine environment when introduced into a region beyond their natural distributions through ballast water (BW). Coastal currents induced by tides ...
