Abundance and characteristics of microplastics in commercially important bottom dwelling finfishes and shellfish of the Vembanad Lake, India
(Elsevier, 2021)
This paper characterize microplastics (MPs) in the heavily urbanized, brackish water Vembanad Lake (India), focussing on some commercially important bottom-feeding fishes and shellfish (Arius maculatus, Etroplus suratensis, ...
Natural Substrates and Culture Conditions to Produce Pigments from Potential Microbes in Submerged Fermentation
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2022)
Pigments from bacteria, fungi, yeast, cyanobacteria, and microalgae have been gaining more demand in the food, leather, and textile industries due to their natural origin and effective bioactive functions.Mass production ...
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 ...
Circulation in the Gulf of Khambhat - A Lagrangian Perspective
(2020)
The circulation of the Gulf of Khambhat (GoK) is studied from a Lagrangian point of view using a 2D numerical model. The model-predicted tide elevation and current speed are in agreement with the observations. Seasonal ...
Editorial: Benthic Biodiversity of the Indian Ocean
(Frontiers, 2022)
Benthic organisms are an important component of the marine biodiversity. Although the benthic organisms constitute only a fraction of the total marine biomass, their contribution to the remineralization and thus biogeochemical ...
Shivajiella indica gen. nov., sp. nov., a marine bacterium of the family "Cyclobacteriaceae" with nitrate reducing activity
(Elsevier, 2012)
Novel orange pigmented, Gram-negative-staining, rod-shaped, non-motile, strictly aerobic strains designated NIO-S1 sup(T) and NIO-S2 were isolated from the water sample of a pond adjacent to the coast and an algal mat from ...
Modelling of sediment plume associated with the capital dredging for sustainable mangrove ecosystem in the Old Mangalore Port, Karnataka, India
(Elsevier, 2022)
Old Mangalore port is located at the Confluence of River Gurpur and Netravathi in the Mangalore District, Karnataka.The Ministry of Shipping has promoted the modernisation of ports, including the Old Mangalore port, under ...
Deciphering benthic ecosystem functioning and resilience in a major port and marine protected area via the multi-trait approach
(Elsevier, 2023)
The preservation of ecosystem functioning of coastal zones, in face of increasing environmental stressors and species extinctions, relies on the functional redundancy and inherent resilience of its inhabitants. To compare ...
Degradation of crude oil-associated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by marine-derived fungi
(Springer, 2023)
One of the major environmental concerns today is hydrocarbon contamination resulting from the activities related to the petrochemical industry. Crude oil is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons like alkanes, naphthene and ...
