Phosphate solubilizing bacteria and alkaline phosphatase activity in coastal waters off Trivandrum
(Centre for Ocean and Environmental Studies, New Delhi, 2012)
Phosphorus is a key nutrient in marine environment. Phosphate solubilising bacteria (PSB) have the ability to solubilise ionic forms of orthophosphoric acid to free form of phosphrous in the water column. Both PSB and ...
Corroded planktic foraminifer (Globorotalia menardii) in the southern Bay of Bengal sediment trap sample of February 1992
(Geological Society of India, 2006)
Planktic foraminiferal studies from the southern Bay of Bengal (SBBT) indicate the presence of corroded specimens of Globorotalia menardii in the deep trap at a depth of 3011 m during February-March 1992. Strangely, all ...
Impact of sea breeze on the wind-seas off Goa, west coast of India
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2006)
After withdrawal of the Indian Summer Monsoon and until onset of the next monsoon, i.e. roughly during November-May, winds in the coastal region of India are dominated by sea breeze. It has an impact on the daily cycle of ...
Interplay of diverse environmental settings and their influence on the plankton community off Myanmar during the spring intermonsoon.
(Elsevier, 2014)
The northern Andaman Sea including the Myanmar waters is one of the least studied regions of the northern Indian Ocean. The freshwater and suspended sediments carried by Ayeyawady/Irrawaddy, the peculiar surface circulation, ...
Can bathymetry be a discriminatory factor for the distribution of benthic foraminiferal morpho-groups in modern marine sediments?
(ONGC, India, 2000)
The foraminiferal content of one hundred eight modern marine sediment samples off Vengurla-Cochin sector (ranging in water depth from 30 to 1330 m). West Coast of India was studied. A total of two hundred four foraminiferal ...
Structure-Function Elucidation of a New ?-Conotoxin, MilIA, from Conus milneedwardsi
(2019)
The a-Conotoxins are peptide toxins that are found in the venom of marine cone snails and they are potent antagonists of various subtypes of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). Because nAChRs have an important role ...
Investigation of XBT and XCTD biases in the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal with implications for climate studies
(American Meteorological Society, 2011)
Long time series of XBT data in the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea are valuable datasets for exploring and understanding climate variability. However, such studies of interannual and longer-scale variability of temperature ...
Nutrient regimes and their effect on distribution of phytoplankton in the Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2008)
The seasonal dynamics of nutrient ratios and abundance of phytoplankton cells from the central (CB) and western (WB) Bay of Bengal (BOB) were studied during the fall intermonsoon (FIM; September-October 2002) and spring ...
A study on the characteristics of temperature inversions in active and break phases of Indian summer monsoon
(Elsevier, 2013)
The thermal inversion characteristics during active and break cycles of two consecutive and contrasting monsoon years were studied using GPS radiosonde profiles in Goa (15 degrees 46′ N; 73 degrees 08′ E), located on the ...
Study of the role of microbes as source and sink of Dimethyl Sulphide in Dona Paula bay
(2008)
The present work examines the link between the distribution of DMS (P) to abiotic and biotic variables in the adjacent bay, at Dona Paula on a temporal scale both at short diurnal and long annual scales. The objective of ...
