Denitrification activity in mangrove sediments varies with associated vegetation
(Elsevier, 2016)
To test the hypothesis that mangrove vegetation associated sediment characteristics could influence an ecologically important function such as denitrification, a study was carried out at the Divar mangrove ecosystem in ...
Orbital frequencies in radiolarian assemblages of the central Indian Ocean: implications on the Indian summer monsoon
(Elsevier, 2003)
Radiolarian distribution in surface sediments and its relationships with overlying surface oceanography provided impetus for down-core faunal variation related to changes in monsoon intensity due to the Earth's orbital ...
Formation of genotoxic nitroPAH compounds in fish exposed to ambient nitrite and PAH
(Oxford University Press, 2006)
Mutagenic nitrated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (nitroPAHs) have been known to arise in the environment through direct emissions from combustion sources and nitration of PAHs, primarily in the atmosphere. Here we report ...
Study of changes in bacterial and viral abundance in formaldehyde - Fixed water samples by epifluorescence microscopy
(Springer, 2011)
Accurate measurement of bacterial and viral abundance in coastal marine environments is important to understand the dynamics of microbial communities in these ecosystems. In this study, the effect of formaldehyde preservation ...
Intrusion of the Bay of Bengal water into the Arabian Sea during winter monsoon and associated chemical and biological response
(American Geophysical Union, 2004)
Situated in similar latitudes and subjected to similar atmospheric forcing, the tropical basins of the Arabian Sea looses fresh water due to excess evaporation over precipitation while Bay of Bengal receives freshwater via ...
Inter-annual variability of sea surface temperature, wind speed and sea surface height anomaly over the tropical Indian Ocean
(NIO, Dona Paula, Goa (India), 2000)
Being land-locked at the north, the Indian Ocean and its surrounding atmosphere behave in such a way that the ocean-atmosphere interaction over this domain is different from that over the other oceans, exhibiting a peculiar ...
Physical Oceanography of the Gulf of Aden
(2008)
This thesis aims at the synthesis of various data sets (hydrography, sea levels, winds, and model outputs) to describe the circulation and water masses in the Gulf of Aden more precisely than before. The main objectives ...
Numerical modelling of tidal circulation and studies on salinity distribution in Mandovi and Zuari estuaries
(2008)
The objectives of the thesis were to determine the characteristics of tidal propagation and salinity distribution in the Mandovi and Zuari estuaries using a hybrid network numerical model. A hybrid network model, consisting ...
Coupling of bacterial nitrification with denitrification and anammox supports N removal in intertidal sediments (Arcachon Bay, France)
(Elsevier, 2016)
Microbial activity measurements and molecular approaches were combined to study temporal variation in nitrogen (N) removal mechanisms from muddy and sandy intertidal sediments (Arcachon Bay, France). Stable isotopes ...
Isolation and characterization of antibacterial compound from a mangrove-endophytic fungus, Penicillium chrysogenum MTCC 5108
(Association of Microbiologists of India, 2012)
Microorganisms, especially endophytic fungi that reside in the tissue of living mangrove plants, seem to play a major role in meeting the general demand for new biologically active substances. During the course of screening ...
