Molecular diversity of fungi from marine oxygen-deficient environments (ODEs)
(Springer, 2012)Molecular diversity surveys of marine fungi have demonstrated that the species richness known to date is just the tip of the iceberg and that there is a large exent of unknown fungal diversity in marine habitats. Reports ... -
Biotechnology of marine fungi
(Springer, 2012)Filamentous fungi are the most widely used eukaryotes in industrial and pharmaceutical applications. Their biotechnological uses include the production of enzymes, vitamins, polysaccharides, pigments, lipids and others. ... -
Tectonics of the Ninetyeast Ridge derived from spreading records in adjacent oceanic basins and age constraints of the ridge
(American Geophysical Union, 2012)Analysis of new and existing geophysical data for the Central Indian and Wharton Basins of the Indian Ocean were used to understand the formation and evolution of the Ninetyeast Ridge (NER), especially its relationship to ... -
Contribution of tropical cyclones to the air-sea CO2 flux: A global view
(American Geophysical Union, 2012)Previous case studies have illustrated the strong local influence of tropical cyclones (TCs) on CO sub(2) air-sea flux (F sub(CO2)), suggesting that they can significantly contribute to the global F sub(CO2). In this study, ... -
Monitoring the sedimentary carbon in an artificially disturbed deep-sea sedimentary environment
(Springer, 2012)An area of 0.6 km sup(2) in the manganese nodule field of the Central Indian Basin was physically disturbed and sediments discharged in the near bottom waters to simulate seabed mining and study its impact on benthic ... -
Mixed response in bacterial and biochemical variables to simulated sand mining in placer-rich beach sediments, Ratnagiri, West coast of India
(Springer, 2012)The influence of mechanical disturbance of sediment-akin to small scale mining on bacterial community and biochemical variables was investigated at Kalbadevi beach, Ratnagiri, a placer-rich beach ecosystem which is a ... -
Authigenic carbonates in the sediments of Goa offshore basin, western continental margin of India
(Current Science Association, 2012)Euhedral crystals (approx. 1 mm) of authigenic carbonates are identified in 5 m long sediment cores collected from the western continental margin of India in water depths between 2665 and 3070 m. Low-Mg calcite and aragonite ... -
Variations in nearshore waves along Karnataka, west coast of India
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2012)Wind wave spectra were recorded simultaneously at three shallow (water depth 7–9 m) locations (Malpe, Honnavar and Karwar) along the 200 km stretch of the state of Karnataka in 2009 during 27 April–24 May (representing ... -
Phenyltins in Surface Sediments of the Visakhapatnam Harbour, India
(Springer, 2012)Twenty-two surface sediment samples were collected from Visakhapatnam harbour, east coast of India, and analysed for monophenyltin (MPT), diphenyltin (DPT), triphenyltin (TPT), total bacteria, and TPT tolerant bacteria. ... -
Biofilm-associated indole acetic acid producing bacteria and their impact in the proliferation of biofilm mats in solar salterns
(Institute of Molecular Biology, Slovak Academy of Sciences, 2012)Biofilm mats appear in salterns distinctively during the monsoon season when the salinity decreases below 12 percentile salinity units and within a short period cover the entire surface area of the saltern. A study was ... -
Recent developments in the synthesis of five- and six-membered heterocycles using molecular iodine
(WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH, 2012)Heterocyclic scaffolds represent the key structural subunits of many biologically active compounds. Over the last few years iodine-mediated reactions have been extensively studied due to their low cost and ecofriendliness. ... -
TropFlux: air-sea fluxes for the global tropical oceans-description and evaluation
(Springer-Verlag, 2012)This paper evaluates several timely, daily air-sea heat flux products (NCEP, NCEP2, ERA-Interim and OAFlux/ISCCP) against observations and present the newly developed TropFlux product. This new product uses bias-corrected ... -
समुद्रतल से तलछट के उप-नमूनों को एक साथ निकालने वाला विशेष कोर लाइनर
(National Research Development Corporation, 2012)Describes the device that consists of a portable and reusable special core liner (SPCL). It accomplishes real-time sub-sampling of aqueous sediments. Besides being revolutionary, inexpensive and user-friendly, the SPCL is ... -
First records of three Paraprionospio species (Polychaeta: Spionidae) from Indian waters
(Station Biologique de Roscoff, 2012)new records; geographical distribution; animal morphology; taxonomy; Paraprionospio cordifolia; Paraprionospio cristata; Paraprionospio patiens Abstract :The spionid polychaete Paraprionospio pinnata (Ehlers, 1901) has ... -
Stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen in suspended matter and sediments from the Godavari estuary
(Springer, 2012)Spatial distribution of the carbon and nitrogen content and their isotopic enrichment in suspended matter and sediments were measured in the Godavari estuary to identify the sources and transformation mechanism of organic ... -
A first look at the dinoflagellate cysts abundance in the Bay of Bengal: implications on Late Quaternary productivity and climate change
(Current Science Association, 2012)Abundance and composition of dinoflagellate cysts in a sediment core (SK218/1) from the Bay of Bengal were examined for the last 23 kyr. Cyst abundance at this site varied from 20 to 153 cysts/g dry wt, which is far less ... -
