Salibacterium nitratireducens sp. nov., a haloalkalitolerant bacterium isolated from a water sample from Sambhar salt lake, India.
(Microbiology Society, 2018)A strictly aerobic, haloalkali-tolerant, Gram-stain-positive, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain SMB4T, was isolated from a water sample collected from Sambhar salt lake, Rajasthan, India. Growth occurred ... -
Magnetic tracing of sediment dynamics of mudbanks off southwest coast of India
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2018)In this study, we utilized environmental magnetic in combination with sedimentological and hydrodynamic data to investigate the formative processes of mudbanks along southwest coast of India. We document the linkages between ... -
Virulence gene and antibiogram profile as markers of pathogenic Escherichia coli in tropical beaches of North Western India: Implications for water quality and human health
(Elsevier, 2018)The purpose of the present study was to investigate the presence of pathogenic Escherichia coli in anthropogenically marred tropical beaches of Mumbai, India. Out of 200 presumptive E. coli, (n-=-125) isolates were analysed ... -
Genesis of Central Indian Ocean basin seamounts: morphological, petrological, and geochemical evidence
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2018)We present the petrological investigation carried out of the seamounts located between water depths of 4300 and 5385 m in the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB). The seamounts have variable shapes (conical and elongated) ... -
A two million year record of low-latitude aridity linked to continental weathering from the Maldives
(2018)Indian-Asian monsoon has oscillated between warm/wet interglacial periods and cool/dry glacial periods with periodicities closely linked to variations in Earth�s orbital parameters. However, processes that control wet ... -
Characteristics and genesis of phillipsite grains in a sediment core from the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(2018)Present study is the phillipsite grains present in a siliceous sediment core (water depth 5100 m) recovered near a seamount from the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB). Phillipsite occurs as single grains, cruciform crystals ... -
Integrated assessment of heavy metal contamination in water, sediments and marine organisms from Southeast coast of India
(2018)The present investigation examined the bioaccumulation of toxic metals (Cu, Zn, Cd, Hg and Pb) in water, sediment and biota along the coastal regions of Parangipettai and Nagapattinam. The concentrations of heavy metals ... -
First report of toxic Prorocentrum rhathymum (Dinophyceae) and its pigment composition from coastal waters of the eastern Arabian Sea
(2018)Prorocentrum rhathymum,a toxic dinoflagellate, was isolated for the first time from coastal waters of the eastern Arabian Sea. Batch cultures were grown and cell pellets were extracted in methanol for analysis of algal ... -
Thioredoxin fused CHH1 protein as antigen for polyclonal antisera: Application to regulate glycemia in Penaeus monodon
(2018)Crustacean hyperglycemic hormone (CHH) family neuropeptides have been in research limelight for the past two decades due to their importance in the regulation of glycemia, moulting and gonad development in crustaceans. ... -
Isolation and structure elucidation of halymeniaol, a new antimalarial sterol derivative from the red alga Halymenia floresii
(2018)A new mono-hydroxy acetylated sterol derivative: 12?-hydroxy-3?, 15?, 16?-triacetoxy-cholest-5-en-7-one (halymeniaol) (1), and cholesterol (2) were isolated from the marine red alga Halymenia floresii. The structure of the ... -

Mud Banks along the southwest coast of India are not too muddy for plankton
(2018)Considering Alappuzha Mud Bank in the southern Kerala coast as a typical case of biologically productive Mud Banks that form along the southwest coast of India during the Southwest Monsoon (June - September), the present ... -
Influence of Dam-Controlled River Discharge and Tides on Salinity Intrusion in the Godavari Estuary, East Coast of India
(2018)The Godavari is an important tropical monsoonal river located along the east coast of India. The Gautami-Godavari is one of the two major estuarine branches of the Godavari River bifurcated by a low dam at Dowlaiswaram. ... -
Glacial-interglacial changes and Holocene variations in Arabian Sea denitrification
(2018)At present, the Arabian Sea has a permanent oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) at water depths between about 100 and 1200 m. Active denitrification in the upper part of the OMZ is recorded by enhanced δ15N values in the sediments. ... -
