Spatial variability of copepod species distribution in the eastern Arabian Sea in pre-monsoon conditions
(Elsevier, 2018)This work examines the spatial variability among mesozooplankton abundance and copepod species diversity along the continental margin prior to the onset of southwest monsoon in the eastern Arabian Sea during the year 2011. ... -
Enhanced carbon-sulfur cycling in the sediments of Arabian Sea oxygen minimum zone center
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018)Biogeochemistry of oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) sediments, which are characterized by high input of labile organic matter, have crucial bearings on the benthic biota, gas and metal fluxes across the sediment-water interface, ... -
In-Situ Observations of Mudbanks of Southwest Coast of India and Mapping of its Extent in 2016
(Coastal Education and Research Foundation, 2018)Formation of mudbanks in Alleppey, south-west coast of India is an annual phenomenon which is widely discussed, and many hypotheses have been proposed on its formation. The presence of fluid mud in a levitated condition ... -
Biobutanol Production Using Recombinant Microorganisms
(Springer International Publishing, Cham, 2018)This chapter reviews microbial biobutanol production and discusses the possibilities, remaining challenges, and prospects of biobutanol. The chapter also discusses the use of lignocellulosic biomass and development of ... -
Role of rotifers in microzooplankton community in a large monsoonal estuary (Cochin backwaters) along the west coast of India
(Springer International Publishing, 2018)The distribution ecology of microzooplankton in the Kochi (Cochin) backwaters has been presented. Emphasis has been given to the micro-rotifers present in the environment, considering they were a hitherto ignored component ... -
Last 42 ky sediment chemistry of oxygen deficient coastal region of the Bay of Bengal: implications for terrigenous input and monsoon variability
(Current Science Association & Indian Academy of Sciences, 2018)The discharge of terrigenous clastics by seasonal peninsular rivers is known to reach the upper slope of the eastern margin of India, which is presently impinged by the monsoon-sensitive intense oxygen minimum zone (OMZ); ... -
Biogeochemical Parameters: Oxygen,
(IOCCP- The International Ocean Carbon Coordination Project, 2017)A reduction in Dissolved Oxygen has been observed during the last few decades throughout the ocean, suggesting a general decrease in the ocean�s DO inventory. This is attributed to a number of factors, including warming ... -
Adaptations of fungi and fungal-like organisms for growth under reduced dissolved oxygen concentrations
(CRC Press, 2017)Our knowledge of the ecological roles of fungi in oxygen-depleted environments has been limited because of the lack of techniques for observing, isolating, and growing these fungi, and as a result they were thought to have ... -
Post decomposition effect of water hyacinth on marine phytoplankton - A laboratory study
(NISCAIR-CSIR, India, 2018)Solutions obtained from post decomposition of different parts of water hyacinth were diluted with filtered seawater into different concentration (10%, 40%, and 60%) and used for the culture of Skeletonema costatum and ... -
Impact of Rossby waves on chlorophyll variability in the southeastern Arabian Sea
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)We use remotely sensed ocean colour data to show that Rossby waves are associated with the westward migration of chlorophyll distribution patterns in the southeastern Arabian Sea (SEAS). During the winter monsoon ... -
Genetic and functional diversity of double-stranded DNA viruses in a tropical monsoonal estuary, India
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018)The present study illustrates the genetic diversity of four uncultured viral communities from the surface waters of Cochin Estuary (CE), India. Viral diversity inferred using Illumina HiSeq paired-end sequencing using a ... -
Notes on Indian species of Calvatia and Langermannia including Calvatia natarajanii sp. nov.
(Magnolia Press, Auckland, New Zealand, 2018)A new species, Calvatia natarajanii, is presented as well as brief notes on the distribution of Calvatia sensu stricto and Langermannia in India. Calvatia natarajanii is distinguished by basidiomes having yellowish white ... -
Benthic fluxes of methane along the salinity gradient of a tropical monsoonal estuary: Implications for CH4 supersaturation and emission
(Elsevier, 2018)Observations in the Mandovi estuary, a typical tropical monsoonal estuary located on the west coast of India, revealed that waters were perennially supersaturated with CH4, indicating that the estuary could be a significant ... -
Dominant Modes of Upper Ocean Heat Content in the North Indian Ocean
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute- MDPI AG, Basel, Switzerland, 2018)The thermal energy needed for the development of hurricanes and monsoons as well as any prolonged marine weather event comes from layers in the upper oceans, not just from the thin layer represented by sea surface temperature ... -
Molecular diversity of marine pigmented bacteria in the central Arabian Sea with special reference to antioxidant properties
(Station Biologique de Roscoff, 2018)Pigmented bacteria (PIGB) from marine environment a rerecognized to impart protective action a gainst oxidative stress-induced cell damages. Since very little is known about their diversity and antioxidant potential, we ... -
Dominant Biological Control Over Upwelling on pCO2 in Sea East of Sri Lanka
(John Wiley & Sons, 2018)Upwelling enhances pCO2 levels due to injection of carbon-rich water to the surface despite the removal of carbon due to increase in primary production supported by enhanced nutrients. It is hypothesized that in the Bay ... -
New to total primary production ratio (f-ratio) in the Bay of Bengal using isotopic composition of suspended particulate organic carbon and nitrogen
(Elsevier, 2018)Variations in the content and isotopic compositions of carbon and nitrogen in the suspended particulate matter were analysed to identify sources of nutrients and compute f-ratios (ratio of new production to primary production) ... -
High Incidence of Lysogeny in the Oxygen Minimum Zones of the Arabian Sea (Southwest Coast of India)
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute- MDPI AG, Basel, Switzerland, 2018)Though microbial processes in the oxygen minimum zones (OMZs) of the Arabian Sea (AS) are well documented, prokaryote-virus interactions are less known. The present study was carried out to determine the potential ... -
18S rDNA sequencing data of benthic polychaetes from the Eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2018)The limited DNA sequence data of the polychaetes species are available from the Eastern Arabian Sea. We have sequenced 18S rDNA gene from 54 polychaetes species and 37 species identified up to the species level. The DNA ... -
