Biotransformation and detoxification of xylidine orange dye using immobilized cells of marine-derived Lysinibacillus sphaericus D3
(MPDI, 2017)
Lysinibacillus sphaericus D3 cell-immobilized beads in natural gel sodium alginate decolorized the xylidine orange dye 1-(dimethylphenylazo)-2-naphthol-6-sulfonic acid sodium salt in the laboratory. Optimal conditions were ...
Microbial community structure of surface sediments from a tropical estuarine environment using next generation sequencing
(Elsevier, 2017)
Microbial community structure was analyzed from tropical monsoon influenced Mandovi-Zuari (Ma-Zu) estuarine sediment by means of Next Gen Sequencing (NGS) approach using Ion Torrent PGM™. The sequencing generated 80,282 ...
Dominance of coastal upwelling over Mud Bank in shaping the mesozooplankton along the southwest coast of India during the Southwest Monsoon
(Pergamon, 2017)
Mud Banks are littoral zones along the Kerala (southwest) coast of India with increased suspended sediments during the Southwest Monsoon (SWM), which facilitate remarkable damping of incident waves creating a localized ...
Autotrophic potential in mesophilic heterotrophic bacterial isolates from Sino-Pacific marine sediments
(Springer and Chinese Society of Oceanography, 2017)
Microbial carbon fixation is a paramount process in the ocean especially below the photic zone both in water and sedimentary ecosystems. Autotrophic microbes that fix carbon dioxide are renowned. However, the question ...
Copepod grazing and their impact on phytoplankton standing stock and production in a tropical coastal water during the different seasons
(Springer, 2017)
The grazing rate of copepods on the total and size-fractionated phytoplankton biomass in a coastal environment (off Kochi, southwest coast of India) were measured during pre-monsoon (PRM), peak southwest monsoon (PKSWM), ...
Seasonal variation in bacterial community composition and Seasonal variation in bacterial community composition and β-glucosidase expression in a tropical monsoon-influenced estuary
(Inter Research, 2017)
Tidal estuaries receive carbohydrate-rich organic matter from various sources, which are mainly broken down by enzymatic processes. ?-glucosidase (?-Glu) is one of the ectoenzymes produced by heterotrophic bacteria. An ...
Robustness of observation-based decadal sea level variability in the Indo-Pacific Ocean
(Wiley, 2017)
We examine the consistency of Indo-Pacific decadal sea level variability in 10 gridded, observation-based sea level products for the 1960-2010 period. Decadal sea level variations are robust in the Pacific, with more than ...
Defaunation of meiofauna in Mumbai bay (India) - A severely polluted area
(Elsevier, 2017)
Meiofauna plays an important role in the benthic food web of shallow water ecosystems. In the present study, the status of meiofauna was addressed in the intertidal and subtidal environment of Mumbai bay (West coast of ...
Diversity of sediment-associated Planctomycetes in the Arabian Sea oxygen minimum zone
(Wiley, 2017)
We examined the diversity of Planctomycetes in the sediment sample collected from an oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) in the southeast Arabian Sea. A 16SrRNA gene library was constructed using the forward primer specific for ...
Intense reducing conditions during the last deglaciation and Heinrich events (H1, H2, H3) in sediments from the oxygen minimum zone off Goa, eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2017)
Two sediment cores, ABP-32/GC-01R and ABP-32/GC-03 were collected at a water depth of 642 m and 1086 m off Goa from the present day Oxygen Minimum Zone (OMZ) of eastern Arabian Sea (EAS) cover time span of last 18 ka and ...
