Identification and physico-chemical characterization of microplastics in marine aerosols over the northeast Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2024)
Microplastics (MPs) in the atmosphere can undergo long-range transport from emission regions to pristine terrestrial and oceanic ecosystems. Due to their inherent toxic and hazardous characteristics, MPs pose serious risks ...
The consequences of reduced anthropogenic activities during the COVID-19 pandemic on microplastic abundance in a tropical estuarine region: Goa, India
(Elsevier, 2024)
Plastic pollution is pervasive, as it has infiltrated every corner of the planet and the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a depletion in the production, consumption, and disposal of plastics. To find out the effect of the ...
Biodegradation of Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) using marine bacteria isolated from tropical beaches of megacity Mumbai
(CSIR-National Institute of Science Communication and Policy Research (NIScPR), New Delhi, 2023)
Plastics, although as useful and versatile as they are, have led to major environmental pollution. Its resistance to degradation has caused a major global threat to the environment. Plastic waste is disposed of in landfills ...
Isotopic composition of carbon and nitrogen of particulate organic matter in the Godavari estuary: Seasonality in sources and processes
(Springer, 2024)
Rivers transport organic matter originating within the estuary and terrestrial sources to the coastal ocean. The seasonal variations in the magnitude of river discharge alter the sources of particulate organic matter (POM) ...
Fishing harbours as a source of PAHs pollution: A case study from Veraval harbour, west coast of India
(Springer, 2024)
Worldwide, studies on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) especially focusing on fishing harbours have been found in a limited magnitude only. The characteristics of 16 PAHs and their associated ecological adversities ...
Large shift in the upper water column characteristics of the west-central Bay of Bengal during the last glacial-interglacial transition
(Elsevier, 2024)
The upper water column structure in the Bay of Bengal is strongly influenced by the monsoon and associated processes. However, the records of variation in water column stratification during different monsoon phases, are ...
Beneficial properties of mucus in coral adaptations and ecological interactions
(Springer, 2024)
Coral mucus secreted by mucocytes provides a protective physicochemical and physiological barrier between coral tissue and external environmental threats. The biomolecules and nutrients of the secreted mucus are derived ...

This is an Editorial of the special issue of Frontiers in Marine Science on the Topic of recent developments in oxygen minimum zones biogeochemistry. This Research Topic presents 14 original research articles with the goal ...
An insight into the prokaryotic diversity from a polymetallic nodule-rich region in the Central Indian Ocean Basin using next generation sequencing approach
(Frontiers Media, 2024)
Deep sea is a vast, dark, and difficult-to-access terrain and is now looked upon as a unique niche harboring diverse microorganism. We used a metataxonomic approach to decipher the microbial diversity present in the water ...
