Spatial distribution and general population characteristics of Pseudanchialina pusilla (Crustacea: Mysida) in the eastern Arabian Sea
(Station Biologique de Roscoff, 2014)The distribution and general population characteristics of Pseudanchialina pusilla (Sars, 1883) were evaluated based on zooplankton collections obtained from different seasonal surveys conducted in 2004-2006 in the eastern ... -
Oscillating environmental responses of the eastern Arabian Sea
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2014)Characteristics of two distinct physical processes, the coastal upwelling and convective overturning, which enhance phytoplankton productivity in the west coast of India, are discussed in this study. Systematic in-situ ... -
Dissimilatory nitrate reduction by Aspergillus terreus isolated from the seasonal oxygen minimum zone in the Arabian Sea
(BioMed Central, 2014)A wealth of microbial eukaryotes is adapted to life in oxygen-deficient marine environments. Evidence is accumulating that some of these eukaryotes survive anoxia by employing dissimilatory nitrate reduction, a strategy ... -
Grimontia indica AK16<sup>T</sup>, sp. nov., isolated from a seawater sample reports the presence of pathogenic genes similar to Vibrio Genus
(Public Library of Science, 2014)Grimontia indica strain AK16<sup>T</sup> sp. nov. is the type strain of G. indica sp. nov. a new species within the genus Grimontia. This strain, whose genome is described here, was isolated from seawater sample collected ... -
Lunatimonas lonarensis gen. nov., sp. nov., a haloalkaline bacterium of the family Cyclobacteriaceae with nitrate reducing activity
(Elsevier, 2014)Novel pinkish-orange pigmented, Gram-negative staining, half-moon shaped, non-motile, strictly aerobic strains designated AK24<sup>T</sup> and AK26 were isolated from water and sediment samples of Lonar Lake, Buldhana ... -
Synthesis and characterization of silver and gold nanoparticles using aqueous extract of seaweed, turbinaria conoides, and their antimicrofouling activity
(Hindawi Publishing, 2014)Silver and gold nanoparticles were synthesized using an aqueous extract of the seaweed Turbinaria conoides and their antibiofilm activity against marine biofilm forming bacteria is reported here. The UV-Vis spectra showed ... -
A Single-hole stone anchor from Kottapatnam: Early historic port site of Andhra Pradesh, India
(The Nautical Archaeology Society, 2014)Archaeological, epigraphical, numismatic and other sources confirm that ports of Andhra Pradesh had played a significant role in spreading Indian culture to distant countries. Along with other ports Kottapatnam has contributed ... -
Change in the intensity of low-salinity water inflow from the Bay of Bengal into the Eastern Arabian Sea from the Last Glacial Maximum to the Holocene: Implications for monsoon variations
(Elsevier, 2014)A 100–400 km wide region of the coastal Eastern Arabian Sea (EAS), off the west-coast of India, is characterized by a low-salinity tongue formed by the inflow of low-salinity surface water from the Bay of Bengal (BoB). ... -
Major and trace element geochemistry of Bay of Bengal sediments: Implications to provenances and their controlling factors
(Elsevier, 2014)Major and trace elements of sediments from a ~ 13-m long piston core (SK187/PC33) from the western Bay of Bengal have been investigated in this study to infer about the changes in provenances and related controlling factors ... -
Changing environmental conditions in recent past — Reading through the study of geochemical characteristics, magnetic parameters and sedimentation rate of mudflats, central west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2014)Geochemical (sediment components, major and trace metals), magnetic related parameters (concentration, mineralogy and grain size) and radionuclide (<sup>210</sup>Pb) analyses were carried out on sediment cores collected ... -
A glimpse of the Quaternary monsoon history from India and adjoining seas
(Elsevier, 2014)The evolution of the monsoon is briefly summarized taking into account previous studies conducted on both terrestrial and marine records recovered from the Indian subcontinent and the adjoining seas. While the initiation ... -
Application of geo-spatial technologies in coastal vulnerability studies due to Sea Level Rise (SLR) along the Central Orissa Coast, India
(Springer, 2014)This chapter emphasizes the regional and local level coastal vulnerability studies due to sea level rise and the subsequent coastal inundation along the low-lying coastal areas using the advanced geo-spatial technologies. ... -
Tritirachium candoliense sp. nov., a novel basidiomycetous fungus isolated from the anoxic zone of the Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2014)A fungal culture (FCAS11) was isolated from coastal sediments of the Arabian Sea during the anoxic season. Multigene phylogenetic analyses confidentially place the organism as a novel species within the recently defined ... -
Does the multi-authorship trend influence the quality of an article?
(Springer, 2014)In the last few decades, multi-authored articles have increased in different disciplines with increasing instances of authorship abuse although multi-authorship is not always due to undeserving authorship (McDonald et al. ... -
Reconstruction of depositional environment of a tropical estuary and response of δ <sup>13</sup> C<sub>org</sub> and TOC/TN signatures to changing environmental conditions

Impact of total organic carbon (in sediments) and dissolved organic carbon (in overlying water column) on Hg sequestration by coastal sediments from the central east coast of India
(Elsevier, 2014)Total organic carbon (TOC) (in sediment) and dissolved organic matter (DOM) (in water column) play important roles in controlling the mercury sequestration process by the sediments from the central east coast of India. ... -
Sources of errors in the measurements of underwater profiling radiometer
