Anatomical studies of timber and EPMA analysis of brass artefacts collected from steam engine shipwreck of Minicoy Island, Lakshadweep, India
(Current Science Association, 2013)
From the early historical period onwards selection of timber became important for construction boats. The analysis of timber collected from shipwreck and wooden stock of iron anchor off Goa has been proven that Indian teak ...
Observations of barrier layer formation in the Bay of Bengal during summer monsoon
(American Geophysical Union, 2002)
Time series of temperature and salinity in the upper ocean, measured at 17 degrees 30'N, 89 degrees E in the northern Bay of Bengal, from 27 July to 6 August 1999 captured an event of upper layer freshening. Initially, the ...
Batch culture fermentation of Penicillium chrysogenum and a report on the isolation, purification, identification and antibiotic activity of citrinin
(NISCAIR, India, 2009)
Batch fermentation of Penicillium chrysogenum, MTCC 5108 was carried out using potato dextrose broth medium prepared in seawater: distilled water (1:1). Biomass as dry weight was determined by gravimetric analysis. Citrinin, ...
Phosphate solubilizing bacteria: Comparison between coastal and deep sea sediments
(Centre for Ocean and Environmental Studies, New Delhi, 2012)
Phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) play a key role in the phosphate cycle by enzymaticaly hydrolyzing a wide variety of organic phosphorus compounds and solubilizing various major insoluble forms of bound phosphorus. ...
Effect of temperature, salinity and biofilm on the zoospores settlement of Enteromorpha flexuosa (Wulfen) J.Agardh
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2012)
The effect of temperature (10-30 degrees C), salinity (15-35 psu) and biofilm on the settlement of Enteromorpha flexousa zoospores was assessed. Settlement of zoospores was significantly (p less than 0.05) influenced by ...
Vertical migratory rhythms of benthic diatoms in a tropical intertidal sand flat: Influence of irradiance and tides
(Springer, 2004)
Vertical migratory behavior of benthic diatoms is one of the adaptive strategies employed for a life in intertidal habitats. Irradiance and tides are considered to be the key factors governing vertical migration. Experiments ...
Geochemical characteristics of gold bearing boninites and banded iron formations from Shimoga greenstone belt, India: Implications for gold genesis and hydrothermal processes in diverse tectonic settings
(Elsevier, 2016)
This paper is the first documentation of boninites from the Kudrekonda Formation of Shimoga greenstone belt (SGB) in western Dharwar Craton (WDC), India and the occurrence of native gold in the associated quartz veins. We ...
Evaluation of the influence of monsoon climatology on dispersal and sequestration of continental flux over the southeastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2016)
Associated with the coupled land–ocean heating–cooling, seasonal reversal of monsoon winds regulates hydrography, precipitation, upwelling, fluvial influx and a host of biogeochemical processes. We evaluate the role of the ...
Bacterial Diversity in Deep-Sea Sediments from Afanasy Nikitin Seamount, Equatorial Indian Ocean
(Taylor and Francis, 2014)
Deep-sea sediments can reveal much about the last 200 million years of Earth history, including the history of ocean life and climate. Microbial diversity in Afanasy Nikitin seamount located at Equatorial East Indian Ocean ...
Geochemical characterization of the Krishna–Godavari and Mahanadi offshore basin (Bay of Bengal) sediments: A comparative study of provenance
(Elsevier, 2015)
The Krishna–Godavari and Mahanadi rivers drain the east coast of India and deposit the sediment load into the Krishna–Godavari and Mahanadi offshore basins along the western margin of the Bay of Bengal. Here we report the ...
