Phylogenetic Diversity of Culturable Marine Bacteria from Mangrove Sediments of Goa, India: a Potential Source of Xylanases Belonging to Glycosyl Hydrolase Family 10
(Pleiades Publishing Ltd, 2020)Xylan is one of the most abundant polysaccharides present in softwoods and hardwoods. Microbial xylanases mainly mediate its degradation. Xylanase has biotechnological potential with enormous demand in industries. The ... -
The Significance of Denitrification in the Nitrogen Cycle
(Cambridge Scholars Publishing, New castle, UK, 2020)Nitrogen fluxes from marine systems to the atmosphere are between 25x10 9 and 179x10 9 kilograms per year and from terrestrial systems, between 90x10 9 and 243x10 9 kilograms per year via microbial denitrification. ... -
Research opportunities in pandemic lockdown
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2020)The entire world is facing an unprecedented crisis today due to the spread of COVID-19. The most severely affected countries enforced a complete lockdown to minimize personal contacts, with only bare minimum, essential ... -
Habitat characteristics mediated partitioning of economically important bivalves in a tropical monsoon-influenced estuary
(Springer, 2020)Bivalves are benthic organisms inhabiting coastal marine habitats, especially estuarine tidal and mudflats. Due to their high stocking density and rich protein content, they form a major part of the artisanal fishery ... -
Imprints of ancient recycled oceanic lithosphere in heterogeneous Indian Ocean mantle: Evidence from petrogenesis of Carlsberg ridge basalts from Northwest Indian Ocean
(Elsevier Inc., 2020)This paper reports new petrological, geochemical and isotopic data for Carlsberg Ridge Basalts (CRB) of northwest Indian Ocean and evaluates their petrogenetic aspects in the context of the geochemical and tectonic evolution ... -
Large-scale mass wasting on the miocene continental margin of Western India
(Geological Society of America, 2020)A giant mass-transport complex was recently discovered in the eastern Arabian Sea, exceeding in volume all but one other known complex on passive margins worldwide. The complex, named the Nataraja Slide, was drilled by ... -
Distinctive Community Patterns With Exceptional Diversity of Polychaetes Around a Tectonically Active Archipelago in the Tropical Indian Ocean
(Frontiers, 2020)Marine soft-sediments sustain functionally important benthic assemblages that are critical for remineralization of organic matter and supply of nutrients to the water column. While these assemblages are well studied along ... -
Recently Discovered Iron Anchors from Tamil Nadu, East Coast of India
(Ubiquity Press, 2020)In maritime archaeological studies, anchors made of stone, wood, or metal have played a significant role in shipping, not only acted as a proxy during the period of their use but also suggesting maritime connections with ... -
Design and development of pressure sensor based on Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) for ocean applications
(EDP Sciences, 2020)Reactively evaporated TiO2 thin films were deposited on the glass substrate by electron beam heating technique. In the first stage evaporation rates are varied keeping substrate temperature fixed at 200 C and oxygen flow ... -
Assessment of heavy metals in the sediments of anthropogenically disturbed patalganga estuary, india
(EM International, Pune, 2020)The present study aims to evaluate the effect of industrialization on the heavy metal accumulation in sediments of the Patalganga Estuary. The contamination level of the Patalganga estuary is evaluated based on the enrichment ... -
Relevance of Relative Sea Surface Temperature for Tropical Rainfall Interannual Variability
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2020)The coupling between sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies and rainfall is an important driver of tropical climate variability. Observations however reveal inconsistencies, such as decreased convective rainfall in regions ... -
Quantification of long-range transported aeolian dust towards the Indian peninsular region using satellite and ground-based data - A case study during a dust storm over the Arabian Sea
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)The Arabian Sea is an enclosed basin surrounded by land and is prone to receive large amount of aeolian dust from the continent. This can significantly impact surface water biogeochemical processes. In this study, an attempt ... -
Structure and tectonics of the continental margins of India and the adjacent deep ocean basins: current status of knowledge and some unresolved problems
(International Union of Geological Sciences, 2020)The Indian Ocean and the bordering continental margins are characterized by a number of tectonic features consisting of deep ocean basins, aseismic ridges/ submarine plateaus and seamounts. Marine geophysical studies carried ... -
Influence of dual sulfate reduction pathways on pore-fluid chemistry and occurrences of methane hydrate in sediment cores (IODP-353) off Mahanadi basin, Bay of Bengal
(Geochemical Society of Japan, 2020)Pore fluid chemistry of sediment cores from two coring sites collected from Mahanadi basin (Bay of Bengal) during IODP-353 was studied to understand the intra-basinal variation in microbially mediated sediment biogeochemistry ... -
