An Improved Method for Protein Extraction from Minuscule Quantities of Fungal Biomass
(Springer India, 2019)Filamentous fungi are ubiquitous eukaryotes having chitin as a major constituent of the cell wall. Chitin is tough to lyse due to which the intracellular fungal proteins are not readily accessible. The problem is further ... -
Chemical, isotopic and amino acid composition of Mukundpura CM2.0 (CM1) chondrite: Evidence of parent body aqueous alteration
(Elsevier, 2019)The carbonaceous chondrites are intriguing and unique in the sense that they are the only rocks that provide pristine records of the early solar nebular processes. We report here results of a detailed mineralogical, chemical, ... -
Influence of air-sea coupling on Indian Ocean tropical cyclones
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2019)This paper assesses the impact of air-sea coupling on Indian Ocean tropical cyclones (TCs) by comparing a 20-year long simulation of a �� regional coupled ocean-atmosphere model with a twin experiment, where the atmospheric ... -
Molecular characteristics of sedimentary organic matter in controlling mercury (Hg) and elemental mercury (Hg0) distribution in tropical estuarine sediments
(Elsevier, 2019)Sedimentary organic matter (SOM) plays an important role in hosting and reducing HgII in marine/estuarine sediment. This study provides a better understanding on the influence of nature of SOM, in regulating sedimentary ... -
Seawater intrusion and resuspension of surface sediment control mercury (Hg) distribution and its bioavailability in water column of a monsoonal estuarine system
(Elsevier, 2019)There is limited knowledge regarding seawater intrusion on Hg distribution in monsoon fed tropical estuarine systems during dry season (February to May). This study examined the influence of resuspension of estuarine ... -
Implications of a regional-scale process (the Lakshadweep low) on the mesozooplankton community structure of the Arabian Sea
(CSIRO PUBLISHING, 2019)The Arabian Sea, a major tropical ocean basin in the northern Indian Ocean, is one of the most productive regions in the global ocean. Although the classical Arabian Sea �paradox� describes the geographical and seasonal ... -
The Indian Ocean nodule field-: Geology and resource potential
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2018)This edition provides a view of the most recent studies along with classical theories starting from the 1960s. New concepts, hypotheses and critical appreciation of the state-of-the-art knowledge on nodule formation and ... -
ASEAN-India Cooperation Project on �Extent of Transfer of Alien Invasive Organisms in South/Southeast Asia Region by Shipping�
(ASEAN Committee on Science and Technology (COST), 2018)A brief background of events leading to the successful implementation of the first�ASEAN-India project on marine sciences is provided. Coordinated by India and Singapore, the project,�entitled �Extent of transfer of alien ... -
Zircon U-Pb geochronology and geochemistry of Devonian plagiogranites in the Kuerti area of southern Chinese Altay, northwest China: Petrogenesis and tectonic evolution of late Paleozoic ophiolites
(John Wiley & Sons, 2018)This study presents zircon U-Pb geochronology with major, trace, rare earth element and Sr-Nd isotope geochemistry for plagiogranite dyke swarms occurring within the gabbro unit of the lower part of the Kuerti ophiolite ... -
Biobleaching of waste paper using lignolytic enzyme from Fusarium equiseti VKF2: a mangrove isolate
(Springer Netherlands, 2018)Laccase is a major enzyme used in the paper and pulp industries for bio-bleaching applications. This paper focused on the bio-bleaching property of a potential lignolytic fungus, Fusarium equiseti VKF-2. Optimum conditions ... -
Seasonal and depth-wise variations in bacterial and archaeal groups in the Arabian Sea oxygen minimum zone
(Elsevier, 2018)Seasonal variations, as well as depth-wise distribution patterns of bacterial and archaeal communities in the Arabian Sea oxygen minimum zone (AS-OMZ), were analyzed by examining 16S rRNA gene clones and their sequences. ... -
Mudbanks and fisheries along the Kerala coast-myth and reality
(Current Science Association & Indian Academy of Sciences, 2018)Mudbanks, a unique coastal oceanographic phenomenon occurring along the southwest (SW) coast of India during the SW monsoon season, are synonymous with the fishery of this region. Here we examine the validity of the popular ... -
Stable carbon and nitrogen isotopic composition of PM10 over Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP), adjoining regions and Indo-Himalayan Range (IHR) during a winter 2014 campaign
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2018)For source identification, a field campaign involving simultaneous sampling of particulate matter (PM10) was conducted at eight sampling sites in the Indian mainland during winter 2014. The sampling sites include Delhi ... -
Environmental Factors Affecting the Distribution of Pseudo-nitzschia in Two Monsoonal Estuaries of Western India and Effects of Salinity on Growth and Domoic Acid Production by P. pungens
(Springer US, 2018)Species of the diatom genus Pseudo-nitzschia, some of which produce the neurotoxin domoic acid (DA), were studied to see how environmental factors affect their distribution in two tropical monsoonal estuaries and how ... -
Phytoplankton response to the contrasting physical regimes in the eastern Arabian Sea during north east monsoon
(Elsevier, 2018)Phytoplankton abundance and composition in two contrasting physical regimes - convective mixing in the northeastern Arabian Sea (NEAS) and Arabian Sea mini warm pool (ASMWP) in the southeastern Arabian Sea (SEAS) - were ... -
Evaluation of radiative fluxes over the north Indian Ocean
(Springer, 2018)Radiative fluxes are a key component of the surface heat budget of the oceans. Yet, observations over oceanic region are sparse due to the complexity of radiation measurements; moreover, certain oceanic regions are ... -
Influence of darkness on pigments of Tetraselmis indica (Chlorodendrophyceae, Chlorophyta)
(Elsevier, 2018)In the photic zone, phytoplankton experience diurnal variation in light intensity. However, prolonged exposure to aphotic condition influences their physiological state. Pigment composition is a useful biomarker to decipher ... -
Formation and evolution of the Chain-Kairali Escarpment and the Vishnu Fracture Zone in the Western Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2018)Published models for the plate tectonic evolution of the Western Indian Ocean suggest that the Southern Mascarene Basin opened by oceanic crustal accretion between the continental margins of southwestern India and southeastern ... -
