Metagenomic insights into bacterial dynamics and niche partitioning in response to varying oxygen gradients in the Arabian Sea oxygen minimum zone (OMZ)
(Elsevier, 2024)This study investigates the impact of oxygen gradients on bacterial diversity and community composition within the Arabian Sea oxygen minimum zone (OMZ), providing insight into their ecology in this unique environment. ... -
Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and labile organic compounds spatial and temporal variations in coastal Indian groundwater: Their bioavailability and transfer to neighboring coastal waters of India
(Springer, 2024)Submarine groundwater drainage (SGD) changes the elemental composition of the neighboring coastal ocean and impacts the biogeochemical cycles. To examine the seasonal and spatial variability in dissolved organic carbon ... -
Temporal temperature shifts govern the population succession of picoeukaryotes and picocyanobacteria in a coastal ecosystem
(Elsevier, 2024)Picophytoplankton are vital components of the marine microbial food web. Being the smallest in the phytoplankton group, their short life cycles make them excellent bioindicators of environmental conditions. Given this, an ... -
Maritime and underwater archaeology in India: A critical appraisal and a future prospect
(Springer, 2024)This article critically reviews four decades of development of maritime and underwater archaeology in India (MUAI). Established in 1981, the first Marine Archaeology Centre at the Council of Scientific and Industrial ... -
Dynamics of subsurface chlorophyll maxima in the northern Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2024)Subsurface chlorophyll maxima (SCM) significantly contributes to oceanic primary productivity, emphasizing the need to study its dynamics and governing mechanisms. We used datasets from various platforms to investigate ... -
Allelochemicals from the seaweeds and their bioprospecting potential
(Springer, 2024)Allelochemicals are secondary metabolites which function as a natural protection against grazing activities by algae and higher plants. They are one of the major metabolites engaged in the interactions of organisms. The ... -
Recent advancements in marine micropaleontological and paleoceanographic research from India
(Springer, 2024)The article presents an overview of the research contributions in the field of Marine Micropaleontology and Paleoceanography, made by the Indian scientists during the last five years. Keeping pace with recent development ... -
Gigantidas niobengalensis sp. nov. (Bivalvia: Mytiloidea) from a methane seep in the Krishna-Godavari Basin, Bay of Bengal
(Conchological Society of Great Britain and Ireland, 2024)A new species of a deep-sea Bathymodiolinae mussel is described as Gigantidas niobengalensis sp. nov. based on both molecular and morphological data. It was collected at a cold methane seep environment in the Bay of Bengal ... -
Effect of spiciness on the intensification of cyclones over Arabian Sea - A case study on Biparjoy
(Springer, 2024)In recent decades, there has been notable variability in the occurrence, frequency, and intensification of cyclones worldwide, and a significant trend has emerged in the northern Indian Ocean, notably the Arabian Sea. The ... -
Fresh and recirculated submarine groundwater discharge zones along the central west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2024)The study area receives an average of 2840.0 mm of rainfall within four months every year. A portion of the rainwater is flown to the sea as surface water, and the other part is percolated into the bottom as groundwater. ... -
Exploring the hidden treasures: Deep-sea bacterial community structure in the Bay of Bengal and their metabolic profile
(Frontiers Media, 2023)Deep sea bacterial communities demonstrate remarkable adaptability to high-pressure environments coupled with low temperatures which has sparked curiosity about their diversity and exceptional metabolic pathways. Additionally, ... -
Characterization of phytoplankton functional types in the western Bay of Bengal: HPLC- and CHEMTAX-based approach
(Springer, 2024)This study investigates phytoplankton functional group variations in the western Bay of Bengal (WBoB) during the Spring Intermonsoon. Samples were collected from four cross-shore transects: Mahanadi (MN), Vamsadhara (VD), ... -
Intrusion of Arabian Sea high salinity water and monsoon-associated processes modulate planktic foraminiferal abundance and carbon burial in the southwestern Bay of Bengal
(Springer, 2024)The unicellular calcareous planktic foraminifera sequester a significant portion of the carbon dioxide dissolved in the ocean, thus burying the carbon in sediments for millions of years. The global warming and associated ... -
Seasonally varying biogeochemical regime around the coral habitats off central west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2024)The Western Indian Continental Shelf (WICS) experiences upwelling during the Southwest Monsoon (SWM), leading to deoxygenation and acidification of subsurface waters. The region has patchy growth of corals, e.g. in the ... -
Extremely oligotrophic and complex-carbon-degrading microaerobic bacteria from Arabian Sea oxygen minimum zone sediments
