Alkaline phosphatase activity at the southwest coast of India: A comparison of locations differently affected by upwelling..
(Elsevier, 2015)
The realization of the potential importance of phosphorus (P) as a limiting nutrient in marine ecosystem is increasing globally. Hence, the contribution of biotic variables in mobilizing this nutrient would be relevant ...
Alkaline phosphatase: An appraisal of its critical role in c-limited deep-sea sediments of central Indian Basin
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2017)
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is a hydrolase that releases phosphate, a crucial nutrient supporting formation of many macromolecules. The oligotrophic sediments of Central Indian Basin (CIB) were examined for the extent of ...
Bacterial contribution to mitigation of iron and manganese in mangrove sediments
(Elsevier, 2007)
The Mandovi and Chapora, (Goa, India) are two tropical estuaries lying in close geographic proximity on the west coast of India. Seasonal changes in down core variation of Fe, Mn and Total Organic Carbon (TOC) in the ...
Nitrate levels modulate denitrification activity in tropical mangrove sediments (Goa, India)
(Springer, 2011)
A study to examine the short-term effect of nitrate and organic carbon addition on denitrification activity was carried out on sediments from a mangrove ecosystem prone to anthropogenic activities (Divar, Goa, India). ...
Effect of carbon source concentration and culture duration on retreivability of bacteria from certain estuarine, coastal and offshore areas around the peninsular India.
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2006)
Improved culture-based approaches efficiently compliment the limitations encountered in molecular methods to delineate the diversity and functions of uncultured organisms. The present study endeavours to reduce the anomaly ...
Microbial biomass and organic nutrients in the deep-sea sediments of the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Taylor and Francis, 2001)
In order to assess the impact of deep-sea mining on the in situ benthic life, the microbial standing stock and concentration of organic nutrients in the deep-sea sediments of the Central Indian Ocean Basin in the Indian ...
Immobilization of nickel by bacterial isolates from the Indian Ridge system and the chemical nature of the accumulated metal
(Taylor & Francis, 2010)
Bacterial isolates from Carlsberg-Ridge waters were tested for their ability to immobilize Ni. For this, test cultures were suspended for 60 d in seawater with and without added Ni at concentrations of 10 to 10,000 mu M. ...
Organic carbon and iron modulate nitrification rates in mangrove swamps of Goa, south west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2009)
Nitrification, fuelled by ammonium is the pivotal oxidative pathway to nitrogen cycling. In spite of its ecological significance, the factors regulating nitrification rates in the benthic realm remain poorly understood. ...
Bacterial response to contrasting geochemistry in the sediments of central Indian Ocean basin
(Regional Research laboratory, Bhubaneswar, 2005)
The latitudinal differences in geochemical and physiographic nature could evoke varied biological/microbiological response in the deep-sea benthic ecosystem of the Central Indian Ocean. Sediment cores have been examined ...
Rise of the dormant: Simulated disturbance improves culturable abundance, diversity, and functions of deep-sea bacteria of Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Taylor and Francis, 2005)
The abundance of baroduric bacteria from nine sediment cores (0-10 cm below sea floor) was examined for their response to simulated benthic disturbance in the Central Indian basin (CIB). While the total counts of bacteria ...
