Sponge-associated bacteria of Lakshadweep coral reefs, India: resource for extracellular hydrolytic enzymes
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2010)Sponges (Phylum: Porifera) is one of the major groups in the Lakshadweep coral reefs. These sponges harbor diverse bacteria with metabolic potentiality. From biodiversity to biotechnological prospecting, scientific ... -
Free radical scavenging potential, reducing power, phenolic and biochemical constituents of Porphyra species from India
(PHYCOSPECTRUM INC, 2010)Inorganic elements, organic composition and antioxidant properties of Porphyra indica and P. veiatnamensis, were investigated. Heavy metals were found below toxic level, protein and ash contents were found to be the most ... -

(Taylor & Francis, 2010)A convenient general synthesis of 2,2-dimethyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrano[2,3-b]quinolines using the Wittig reaction is described. The o-nitrobenzaldehydes (1a-d) on reaction with phosphorane 2 provided (E)-ethyl-a-(2,2-dimet ... -
Karlodinium veneficum in India: Effect of fixatives on morphology and allelopathy in relation to Skeletonema costatum
(Current Science Association, 2010)Dinoflagellates form an important component of marine and freshwater phytoplankton. They are a remarkably diverse and complex group with various modes of nutrition and ability to produce toxins, and are major contributors ... -
Geomorphic processes in the vicinity of the Venkatapur river mouth, central west coast of India: Implications for estuarine sedimentation
(Coastal Education and Reserch Foundation, 2010)Geomorphic processes in the vicinity of river mouths of the central west coast of India using the Venkatapur River as a representative is discussed. Multidate satellite image analyses, wave-refraction patterns, time-series ... -
Distribution, reproductive biology and biochemical composition of Rhopalophthalmus indicus (Crustacea: Mysida) from a tropical estuary (Cochin backwater) in India
(Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2010)Distribution, reproductive biology and biochemical composition of Rhopalophthalmus indicus were investigated based on samples collected over a period of one year from Cochin backwater. Rhopalophthalmus indicus was recorded ... -
Biodiversity and community structure of freeliving marine nematodes from the Larsemann Ice Shelf, East Antarctica
(Current Science Association, 2010)Subtidal (500-700 m) meiofaunal assemblage of the Larsemann Ice Shelf, East Antarctica, is described with special emphasis on the free-living marine nematodes. The sampling was conducted with a 25 x 25 x 40 cm VSNL Spade ... -
Intra-annual variability in nutrients in the Godavari estuary, India
(Elsevier, 2010)Daily variations in nutrients were monitored for 15 months (September 2007-November 2008) in the Godavari estuary, Andhra Pradesh, India, at two fixed locations. River discharge has significant influence on nutrients loading ... -
Seasonal cycle of physical forcing and biological response in the Bay of Bengal
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2010)Seasonal cycle of the physical processes and the biological response in the Bay of Bengal were studied using co-located physical, chemical and biological data collected along the central and the western Bay covering four ... -
Seasonal variability in biological carbon biomass standing stocks and production in the surface layers of the Bay of Bengal
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2010)As a part of the Bay of Bengal Process Study, several biological characteristics were investigated during summer monsoon (SuM; July-August 2001), fall inter monsoon (FIM, September-August 2002), spring inter monsoon (SpIM; ... -
Land-ocean tectonics (LOTs) and the associated seismic hazard over the Eastern Continental Margin of India (ECMI)
(Springer, 2010)The South Indian (Peninsular) Shield which includes both the Eastern and Western Continental Margins of India is not as stable as it was originally thought of. The importance of intraplate seismicity within this Shield has ... -
What do barnacle larvae feed on ? Implications in biofouling ecology
(Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2010)Barnacles are one of the dominant macrofouling organisms found in the intertidal region throughout the world. Among the different species of barnacles Balanus amphitrite (= Amphibalanus amphitrite) is a favoured candidate ... -
Indian monsoon cycles through the last twelve million years
(The society of Earth Scientists, 2010)Although Indian monsoon mostly sets on in early June, it often deceives with vagaries of droughts or floods causing hardship to millions in the Indian subcontinent. It varies at the intra-monsoonal scale with 40-50 days ... -
Quantification of the energy required for the destruction of Balanus Amphitrite larva by ultrasonic treatment
(Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2010)Ultrasonic treatment, a relatively less explored technology in water disinfection, was used to quantify the energy required for the destruction of larvae of barnacle Balanus amphitrite, which is a major marine fouling and ... -
A global census of marine microbes
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2010)In this chapter we provide a brief history of what is known about marine microbial diversity, summarize our achievements in performing a global census of marine microbes, and reflect on the questions and priorities for the ... -
