Plastic bio-mitigation by Pseudomonas mendocina ABF786 and simultaneous conversion of its CO2 byproduct to microalgal biodiesel
(Elsevier, 2024)Bio-mitigation of plastics by microorganisms generates carbon dioxide (CO2) that can be utilized for algal biomass generation. Pseudomonas mendocina ABF786, reportedly the most efficient plastic-degrading bacteria, was ... -
Trait-based classification and environmental drivers of phytoplankton functional structure from anthropogenically altered tropical creek, Thane Creek India
(Elsevier, 2024)The present study on variability in phytoplankton functional structure through a trait-based approach described the species-trait-environmental relationship and its possible impact on ecosystem functioning. Based on trait ... -
Facultative association of Purpura panama with Bunodosoma goanense
(Springer, 2023)This paper reports observations of an association between a marine snail and a sea anemone, conducted monthly during low spring tide from June 2021 to March 2023. The multifaceted benefits of the association between Purpura ... -
Toxigenic Escherichia coli with high antibiotic resistance index recovered from sands of recreational beaches of Mumbai, India
(Elsevier, 2024)Mumbai, India's seven-island city, is known for its sandy beaches as a major tourist attraction, but urbanization and industrialization have weakened the environment. Unregulated sewage disposal and untreated effluents off ... -
Geochemical dichotomy of Tethyan oceanic mantle and the supercontinent connection: Insights from Os isotopic signatures of mantle peridotites from Naga Hills ophiolite
(Elsevier, 2024)Naga Hills Ophiolite (NHO) represents a thrusted section of relict Neo-Tethyan oceanic lithosphere comprising distinct crustal and upper mantle lithologies that preserve imprints of different stages of evolution of ancient ... -
Historical aspects and traditional knowledge of Hilsa (Indian shad) in Odisha, east coast of India
(Current Science Association, IAS, 2023)Great personalities of the Indian subcontinent are associated with our legends, folklore, traditions, rituals and regional songs. Similarly, mountains, trees, cows, fishes, etc. are also linked with the above aspects. Among ... -
Latent heat flux variability over the tropical Indian Ocean
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2023)The seasonal evolution and interannual variability of latent heat flux (LHF) over the tropical Indian Ocean (TIO) region is examined for the period 1980–2019. The seasonal distribution of LHF is dominated by the winter ... -
Large shift in the upper water column characteristics of the west-central Bay of Bengal during the last glacial-interglacial transition
(Elsevier, 2024)The upper water column structure in the Bay of Bengal is strongly influenced by the monsoon and associated processes. However, the records of variation in water column stratification during different monsoon phases, are ... -
Distribution and sources of fatty acids in surface sediments of mangrove ecosystems in the Northern Kerala Coast, India
(Taylor & Francis, 2023)Fatty acids and bulk geochemical proxies were employed to understand the sources and transformation of sedimentary organic matter from surface sediments of major five mangrove systems in the northern Kerala coast. Texture, ... -
On the simulations of latent heat flux over the Indian Ocean in CMIP6 models
(Springer, 2023)The historical simulations of latent heat flux (LHF) over the Indian Ocean (IO) region in 46 climate models participating in the phase 6 of Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) have been evaluated against the ERA5 ... -
The Bay of Bengal exposes abundant photosynthetic picoplankton and newfound diversity along salinity-driven gradients
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2023)The Bay of Bengal (BoB) is a 2,600,000 km2 expanse in the Indian Ocean upon which many humans rely. However, the primary producers underpinning food chains here remain poorly characterized. We examined phytoplankton abundance ... -
Performance of a two-body heaving cylindrical wave energy converter on stepped sea bottom
(Elsevier, 2023)The present study deals with the surface gravity wave interaction with a heaving dual concentric cylindrical wave energy converter (WEC) buoy system on the stepped sea bottom. The energy captured by linear electric generator ... -
Coral reef-associated brachyuran fauna (Crustacea: Decapoda: Brachyura) from Angria Bank off the west coast of India
(Magnolia Press, 2023)Underwater sampling via SCUBA and grab at the Angria Bank coral reefs off the central west coast of India in January 2014 revealed 11 species of Brachyura. Seven species, namely, Thusaenys irami (Laurie, 1906), Tanaocheles ... -
Deciphering benthic ecosystem functioning and resilience in a major port and marine protected area via the multi-trait approach
(Elsevier, 2023)The preservation of ecosystem functioning of coastal zones, in face of increasing environmental stressors and species extinctions, relies on the functional redundancy and inherent resilience of its inhabitants. To compare ... -
Degradation of crude oil-associated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by marine-derived fungi
(Springer, 2023)One of the major environmental concerns today is hydrocarbon contamination resulting from the activities related to the petrochemical industry. Crude oil is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons like alkanes, naphthene and ... -
Impact of leading Indo-Pacific climatic modes in modulating the wave power variability and their trends in the North Indian Ocean
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2023)The present study analyses the trend and variability in wave parameters (wave height and wave period) and wave power (WP) in the North Indian Ocean (NIO). The impact of climatic modes such as El-Niño Southern Oscillation ... -
Diversity and impacts of macroalgae and cyanobacteria on multi-stressed coral reefs in the Gulf of Mannar Marine Biosphere Reserve
