A role for antioxidants in acclimation of marine derived pathogenic fungus (NIOCC 1) to salt stress
(Elsevier, 2012)Salinity tolerance a key factor helps in understanding the ionic homeostasis in general is a fundamental cellular phenomenon in all living cells. A marine derived pathogenic fungus was examined for its adaptation under ... -
Short-term observation of beach dynamics using cross-shore profiles and foreshore sediment
(Elsevier, 2012)Cross-shore beach profiles and textural characteristics of foreshore sediment were analyzed for understanding an annual cycle of intertidal beach dynamics at Devbag, an Island sheltered estuarine coast. Cross-shore transects ... -
Interannual and seasonal variations in nearshore wave characteristics off Honnavar, west coast of India
(Current Science Association, 2012)Interannual and seasonal variations in nearshore surface wave parameters over a period of three years (March 2008 - March 2011) were examined based on the measured wave data at 9 m water depth off Honnavar, west coast of ... -
Intra-annual variations of arsenic totals and species in tropical estuary surface sediments
(Elsevier, 2012)Arsenic totals and species were found to vary during a one year period in the surface sediments of Godavari estuary (the third largest river in India). This study suggests that increasing salinity of overlying water column ... -
Deep carbon export from a Southern Ocean iron-fertilized diatom bloom
(Nature Publishing Group, 2012)Fertilization of the ocean by adding iron compounds has induced diatom-dominated phytoplankton blooms accompanied by considerable carbon dioxide drawdown in the ocean surface layer. However, because the fate of bloom biomass ... -
Fungal diversity in deep-sea sediments revealed by culture-dependent and culture-independent approaches
(Elsevier, 2012)Diversity of fungi from deep biosphere is recently gaining an increasing attention. We investigated fungal diversity in two sediment cores approx. 40 cmbsf (cm below seafloor) at a depth of approx. 5000 m in the Central ... -
Intensification of Aila (May 2009) due to a warm core eddy in the north Bay of Bengal
(Springer, 2012)A very severe cyclonic storm "Aila" hit West Bengal on 26 May 2009. The storm intensified when it encountered with a warm core (SST = 31 degrees C) anti-cyclonic eddy (ACE4) in the north Bay of Bengal. The storm intensity ... -
Spatiotemporal distribution of harmful algal flora in the tropical estuarine complex of Goa, India
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2012)Mandovi and Zuari estuarine complex is monsoon-influenced estuaries located along the central west coast of India. During the past few years, there has been an increase in nutrient loading specially during monsoonal runoff ... -
Tectonic and volcanic implications of a cratered seamount off Nicobar Island, Andaman Sea
(Elsevier, 2012)The region of the Nicobar earthquake swarm of January 2005 has been explored during a recent cruise using multibeam swath bathymetry, seafloor imaging and TV-guided sampling to decipher the seafloor morphology, nature and ... -
Damage level prediction of non-reshaped berm breakwater using ANN, SVM and ANFIS models
(The Society of Naval Architects of Korea, 2012)The damage analysis of coastal structure is very important as it involves many design parameters to be considered for the better and safe design of structure. In the present study experimental data for non-reshaped berm ... -
Single genetic stock of kawakawa Euthynnus affinis (Cantor, 1849) along the Indian coast inferred from sequence analyses of mitochondrial DNA D-loop region
(Springer, 2012)Kawakawa Euthynnus affinis is an epipelagic migratory tuna species, widely distributed in the tropical and subtropical waters of the Indo-Pacific region. Kawakawa constitutes the largest tuna fishery in the Indian waters. ... -
Segmentation and morphology of the Central Indian Ridge between 3°S and 11°S, Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2012)The segmentation pattern of 750 km long Central Indian Ridge (CIR) between 3 degrees S and 11 degrees S latitudes in the Indian Ocean has been studied using multibeam bathymetry and magnetic data. Twelve ridge segments ... -
Sulfidization in a shallow coastal depositional setting: Diagenetic and palaeoclimatic implications
(Elsevier, 2012)The nature of pyrite and C–Fe–S geochemistry in a sediment core (covering the last 378 years) at a water depth of 17 m off Goa, west coast, India has been investigated to understand the diagenetic and palaeoclimatic/oceanographic ... -
Sediment Oxygen Demand in Cochin backwaters, a tropical estuarine system in the south-west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2012)Eutrophication has often been one of the major problems encountered in estuaries and coastal waters. The oxic/anoxic status of an estuary can be effectively determined by measurement of the Sediment Oxygen Demand (SOD). ... -
Agromyces indicus sp. nov., isolated from mangroves sediment in Chorao Island, Goa, India
(Springer, 2012)A Gram-positive, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium strain NIO-1018 sup(T) isolated from a mangrove sediment sample of the Chorao Island, Goa, India, was subjected to a detailed polyphasic taxonomic study. The strain designated ... -
Brittle stars (Echinodermata: Ophiuroidea) from seamounts in the Andaman Sea (Indian Ocean): first account, with descriptions of new species
(Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2012)Brittle stars were collected on two seamounts in the Andaman Back-arc Basin. Of the six species, two were new to science and are described herein as Ophioleuce longispinum sp. nov. and Ophiophyllum minimum sp. nov., in the ... -
Seasonal occurrence of anoxygenic photosynthesis in Tillari and Selaulim reservoirs, Western India
(The European Geosciences Union, 2012)Phytoplankton and bacterial pigment compositions were determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) in two freshwater reservoirs (Tillari Dam and Selaulim ... -
Picophytoplankton community in a tropical estuary: Detection of Prochlorococcus-like populations
(Elsevier, 2012)The influence of hydrography on the picophytoplankton (PP) abundance in estuaries was studied by sampling along a salinity gradient in an Indian estuary. Prochlorococcus-like cells were detected at salinities ranging from ... -
