Microplastic pollution: A serious threat to the marine ecosystem
(Indian Coast Guard, 2017)
Studies on ecology of diatoms
(2003)
Diatoms are abundant in the phytoplankton and phytobenthos of aquatic ecosystems, whatever the latitude. Within the aquatic realm, diatoms further extend their habitats from the pelagic to
benthic environment and are also ...
Role of Diatoms in marine biofouling
(CSMCRI, India, 2006)
Diatoms are one of the early colonisers on surfaces submerged in the photic zone of the environment. Their colonisation on man made structures, termed biofouling, has enormous implications in the marine industry. The ...
Potential of Marine-Derived Fungi to Remove Hexavalent Chromium Pollutant from Culture Broth
(Springer India, 2018)
Chromium (Cr) released from industrial units such as tanneries, textile and electroplating industries is detrimental to the surrounding ecosystems and human health. The focus of the present study was to check the Cr(VI) ...
Discovery of a new subclass of alpha-conotoxins in the venom of Conus australis
(Elsevier, 2014)
Cone snails (Conus sp.) are poisonous animals that can be found in all oceans where they developed a venomous strategy to prey or to defend. The venom of these species contains an undeniable source of unique and potent ...
Noctiluca and copepods grazing on the phytoplankton community in a nutrient-enriched coastal environment along the southwest coast of India
(Springer, 2017)
The relative grazing impact of Noctiluca scintillans (hereafter referred only Noctiluca) and copepods (Acrocalanus gracilis, Paracalanus parvus, Acartia danae and Oithona similis) on the phytoplankton community in an ...
Role of heavy metals in structuring the microbial community associated with particulate matter in a tropical estuary
(Elsevier, 2017)
Particulate matter (PM), which are chemically and biochemically complicated particles, accommodate a plethora of microorganisms. In the present study, we report the influence of heavy metal pollution on the abundance and ...
Distribution and contamination status of phthalic acid esters in the sediments of a tropical monsoonal estuary, Cochin - India
(Elsevier, 2018)
Phthalic acid esters (PAEs) are a group of endocrine-disrupting chemicals listed as priority pollutants by United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA, 2009). This study provides baseline information on seasonal ...
Influence of upwelling induced near shore hypoxia on the Alappuzha mud banks, South West Coast of India
(Elsevier, 2017)
The results of the first time-series measurements spanning 18-weeks (22 April to 20 September 2014) from a coastal environment (Alappuzha, southwest India), where two process of upwelling and mud banks are concurrent during ...
Characteristics of eigen-system for flexural gravity wave problems
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)
For a class of boundary value problems associated with flexural gravity waves, characteristics of the eigen-system are analysed which are used to study the convergence of the expansion formulae in both cases of single and ...
