Anatomical studies of timber and EPMA analysis of brass artefacts collected from steam engine shipwreck of Minicoy Island, Lakshadweep, India
(Current Science Association, 2013)
From the early historical period onwards selection of timber became important for construction boats. The analysis of timber collected from shipwreck and wooden stock of iron anchor off Goa has been proven that Indian teak ...
Phosphate solubilizing bacteria: Comparison between coastal and deep sea sediments
(Centre for Ocean and Environmental Studies, New Delhi, 2012)
Phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) play a key role in the phosphate cycle by enzymaticaly hydrolyzing a wide variety of organic phosphorus compounds and solubilizing various major insoluble forms of bound phosphorus. ...
Effect of temperature, salinity and biofilm on the zoospores settlement of Enteromorpha flexuosa (Wulfen) J.Agardh
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2012)
The effect of temperature (10-30 degrees C), salinity (15-35 psu) and biofilm on the settlement of Enteromorpha flexousa zoospores was assessed. Settlement of zoospores was significantly (p less than 0.05) influenced by ...
Geochemical characteristics of gold bearing boninites and banded iron formations from Shimoga greenstone belt, India: Implications for gold genesis and hydrothermal processes in diverse tectonic settings
(Elsevier, 2016)
This paper is the first documentation of boninites from the Kudrekonda Formation of Shimoga greenstone belt (SGB) in western Dharwar Craton (WDC), India and the occurrence of native gold in the associated quartz veins. We ...
Evaluation of the influence of monsoon climatology on dispersal and sequestration of continental flux over the southeastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2016)
Associated with the coupled land–ocean heating–cooling, seasonal reversal of monsoon winds regulates hydrography, precipitation, upwelling, fluvial influx and a host of biogeochemical processes. We evaluate the role of the ...
Bacterial Diversity in Deep-Sea Sediments from Afanasy Nikitin Seamount, Equatorial Indian Ocean
(Taylor and Francis, 2014)
Deep-sea sediments can reveal much about the last 200 million years of Earth history, including the history of ocean life and climate. Microbial diversity in Afanasy Nikitin seamount located at Equatorial East Indian Ocean ...
Geochemical characterization of the Krishna–Godavari and Mahanadi offshore basin (Bay of Bengal) sediments: A comparative study of provenance
(Elsevier, 2015)
The Krishna–Godavari and Mahanadi rivers drain the east coast of India and deposit the sediment load into the Krishna–Godavari and Mahanadi offshore basins along the western margin of the Bay of Bengal. Here we report the ...
Why were historical period ports of Goa located away from the coast? The decline of Gopakapatana
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2014)
Most of the ports of the historical period of the east and west coasts of India were located away from the seafront But in later period, new ports were established mostly along the coastal regions The reasons attributed ...
Penicillin-mediated changes in viable benthic diatom assemblages – insights about the relevance of bacteria across spatial and seasonal scales.
(CSIRO Publishing, 2014)
Penicillin, a beta-lactam antibiotic, cannot affect diatoms directly but does so through bacteria. Its effects on viable benthic diatom assemblages in a tropical environment were evaluated across spatial (intertidal sandflat, ...
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 ...
