Implications of REE incorporation and host sediment influence on the origin and growth processes of ferromanganese nodules from Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Elsevier, 2021)
This study presents new major, trace and REE data for thirty-five ferromanganese nodules recovered from areas representing three different sediment types (siliceous, red clay and their transition zone) in the Central Indian ...
Copepods size structure in various phases of a cold-core eddy - Normalised Abundance Size Spectra (NASS) approach.
(Pergamon, 2020)
The present study addresses the copepods size structure in different phases of a cold-core eddy based on a 17 day time-series measurement (21st February to 8th March 2016) from a coastal site in the western Bay of Bengal ...
Sources of organic matter and tracing of nutrient pollution in the coastal Bay of Bengal
(Pergamon, 2020)
Stable isotopic composition of carbon (delta13CPOM) and nitrogen (delta15NPOM) in the particulate organic matter (POM) is used to identify sources of organic carbon and nutrients using monthly time-series observation in ...
Aberrations in the microbiome of cyanobacteria from a tropical estuary polluted by heavy metals
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)
The effect of heavy metal pollution on the microbiome of cyanobacteria in Cochin estuary (CE) on the southwest coast of India is reported in the study. Statistically significant difference in heavy metal concentration was ...
Diversity of Bacterial Community in the Oxygen Minimum Zones of Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal as Deduced by Illumina Sequencing
(2020)
The Indian Ocean harbors oxygen minimum zones (OMZs) in the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal, with dissolved oxygen < 20 M, located at the mid-depths of the water column. Till date, high-throughput sequence-data on depth-wise ...
Role of oceanic fronts in enhancing phytoplankton biomass in the eastern Arabian Sea during an oligotrophic period
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)
In the present study, using in-situ and satellite observations, we investigate the influence of physical processes on the enhancement of phytoplankton biomass in the eastern Arabian Sea (EAS). Water column measurements ...
Marine Microbial Response to Heavy Metals: Mechanism, Implications and Future Prospect
(Springer, 2020)
Growing levels of pollution in marine environment has been a matter of serious concern in recent years. Increased levels of heavy metals due to improper waste disposal has led to serious repercussions. This has increased ...
Closing the sea surface mixed layer temperature budget from in situ observations alone: Operation Advection during BoBBLE
(Nature Publishing Group, 2020)
Sea surface temperature (SST) is a fundamental driver of tropical weather systems such as monsoon rainfall and tropical cyclones. However, understanding of the factors that control SST variability is lacking, especially ...
A Mesohaline Thraustochytrid Produces Extremely Halophilic Alpha-Amylases
(Springer, 2020)
Halophilic bacteria are well known to produce highly salt-tolerant enzymes that have unusual applications in biotechnology. Production of halophilic proteins is generally not expected in mesohaline microorganisms. Ulkenia ...
Does the Laxmi Ridge continue towards the Laccadive Ridge? New insights from an integrated geophysical study
(Pergamon, 2020)
The Laxmi and Laccadive ridges are two major aseismic ridges in the NW Indian Ocean. Bathymetry, gravity and magnetic data and their derivatives are analyzed and modelled to assess interrelationship between both the ridges ...
