Acquisition of bioluminescent trait by non-luminous organisms from luminous organisms through various origins
(Springer Nature, 2021)
Bioluminescence is a natural light emitting phenomenon that occurs due to a chemical reaction between luciferin and luciferase. It is primarily an innate and inherited trait in most terrestrial luminous organisms. However, ...
A numerical investigation on the tide-induced residence time and its association with the suspended sediment concentration in Gulf of Khambhat, northern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier Ltd, 2021)
A 2D-numerical model is used to estimate suspended sediment (SS) transport and residence time (RT) of the Gulf of Khambhat (Gulf). Tidal current, as well as bottom topography, play a key role in sediment entrapment inside ...
Complete genome analysis of undecylprodigiosin pigment biosynthesizing marine streptomyces species displaying potential bioactive applications
(MDPI, 2021)
Marine Streptomyces species are underexplored for their pigment molecules and genes. In this study, we report the genome of the undecylprodigiosin biosynthesizing gene cluster carrying Streptomyces sp. strain BSE6.1, ...
Controls of contrasting provenance and fractionation on the sediment magnetic records from the Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2021)
We present the results of rock magnetic, granulometric, microscopy and mineralogical analyses of shelf sediments off Krishna, Godavari, and Mahanadi Rivers, Bay of Bengal. The aim of the study was to assess the influence ...
Spatial distribution of waves and wave-induced littoral drift along the nearshore regions of the central west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2021)
The spatial distribution of nearshore wave characteristics and wave-induced littoral drift along the Central West Coast of India (CWCI) is investigated using a wave transformation model. Previous approaches in littoral ...
Fluid-driven Hydrovolcanic Activity along Fracture Zones and near Seamounts: Evidence from Deep-sea Fe-rich Spherules, Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Wiley, 2021)
An insight on occurrence of Fe-rich spherules from the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB) provides an understanding of their distribution at a water depth of >5,000 m. In the present study, Fe-rich spherules are identified ...
Octocoral colonies as spawning ground for the cuttlefish Sepiella inermis (Cephalopoda: Sepiidae)
(Springer, 2021)
Corals are key ecosystem engineers, supporting marine biodiversity by providing nursery ground and living habitat. Among corals, octocorals are a diverse group of soft corals that are an integral part of reef ecosystems. ...
Distribution pattern of the benthic meiofaunal community along the depth gradient of the Western Indian continental margin, including the OMZ and abyssal plain
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2021)
The continental margin harbors a variety of habitats that support incredible biodiversity and the function of their oceans' ecosystems. The meiofauna is considered a significant component of the benthic faunal community ...
The first record of the genus Lamellibrachia (Siboglinidae) tubeworm along with associated organisms in a chemosynthetic ecosystem from the Indian Ocean: A report from the Cauvery-Mannar Basin
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021)
Here, we report for the first time, the genus Lamellibrachia tubeworm and associated chemosynthetic ecosystem from a cold-seep site in the Indian Ocean. The discovery of cold-seep was made off the Cauvery-Mannar Basin ...
Pore structures and fractal dimensions in Early Permian Barakar shales of Rajmahal Basin, Jharkhand, India
(Springer, 2021)
The proximate, low-pressure N2 sorption, X-ray diffraction, and organic petrography parameters have been used to delineate the pore structures and fractal dimensions in the Barakar shales of Rajmahal Basin, India. The ...
