Phylogenetic Diversity of Culturable Marine Bacteria from Mangrove Sediments of Goa, India: a Potential Source of Xylanases Belonging to Glycosyl Hydrolase Family 10
(Pleiades Publishing Ltd, 2020)
Xylan is one of the most abundant polysaccharides present in softwoods and hardwoods. Microbial xylanases mainly mediate its degradation. Xylanase has biotechnological potential with enormous demand in industries. The ...
Research opportunities in pandemic lockdown
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2020)
The entire world is facing an unprecedented crisis today due to the spread of COVID-19. The most severely affected countries enforced a complete lockdown to minimize personal contacts, with only bare minimum, essential ...
Morphological and molecular evidence for first records and range extension of the Japanese seahorse, Hippocampus mohnikei (Bleeker 1853) in a bay-estuarine system of Goa, central west coast of India
(Public Library of Science, 2020)
Accurate information of taxonomy and geographic range of seahorse species (genus Hippocampus) is the first step in preparing threat assessments and designing effective conservation measures. Here, we report first records ...
Habitat characteristics mediated partitioning of economically important bivalves in a tropical monsoon-influenced estuary
(Springer, 2020)
Bivalves are benthic organisms inhabiting coastal marine habitats, especially estuarine tidal and mudflats. Due to their high stocking density and rich protein content, they form a major part of the artisanal fishery ...
Imprints of ancient recycled oceanic lithosphere in heterogeneous Indian Ocean mantle: Evidence from petrogenesis of Carlsberg ridge basalts from Northwest Indian Ocean
(Elsevier Inc., 2020)
This paper reports new petrological, geochemical and isotopic data for Carlsberg Ridge Basalts (CRB) of northwest Indian Ocean and evaluates their petrogenetic aspects in the context of the geochemical and tectonic evolution ...
Bacterial diversity associated with a newly described bioeroding sponge, Cliona thomasi, from the coral reefs on the West Coast of India
(Springer, 2021)
The bacterial diversity associated with eroding sponges belonging to the Cliona viridis species complex is scarcely known. Cliona thomasi described from the West Coast of India is a new introduction to the viridis species ...
Geochemistry and granulometry as indicators of paleoclimate, weathering, and provenance of sediments for the past 1,00,000 years in the eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2022)
Geochemical and granulometric investigation of a 408 cm long sediment core raised from the Eastern Arabian Sea was carried out to decipher the climate, weathering, dust flux and provenance of sediments during the past 100 ...
Rock magnetic evidence of tectonic control on the sedimentation and diagenesis in the Andaman Sea over ~1 million years
(Elsevier, 2021)
We evaluate the sedimentary (magnetic, mineralogical, geochemical, grain size) records of a long sediment core (NGHP-01-17 A) to elucidate the tectonic control on the sedimentation and diagenesis in the Andaman Sea (AS) ...
Isolation and Identification of Tyrosinase Inhibitors from Marine Algae Enteromorpha sp
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2021)
The extract of marine green algae Enteromorpha sp. was evaluated in vitro for inhibitory activity against mushroom tyrosinase enzyme. The principle active agents i.e. coumarin; 4-hydroxycoumarin (1) and two sterols; ...
Wave crest height distribution during the tropical cyclone period
(2020)
The wave crest height plays a vital role in designing both the fixed and floating marine structures. The present study examines the measured wave crest data at 18 m water depth off Visakhapatnam in the northwestern Bay of ...
