Advances in photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy
(Elsevier, 2021)Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (PACT) combine light and photosensitizers to treat cancers and microbial infections, respectively. In PACT, the excitation of a photosensitizer drug ... -
Response of the phytoplankton community to seasonal and spatial environmental conditions in the Haldia port ecosystem located in the tropical Hooghly River estuary
(Springer, 2021)The phytoplankton community structure exhibits seasonal and spatial variations in response to the environmental conditions, which aids in understanding the ecosystem's health. Given this, four samplings were conducted ... -
International pellet watch: Global monitoring of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in plastic resin pellets
(Japan Society for Environmental Chemistry, 2021)Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) were measured in plastic resin pellets collected from 65 beaches across 27 countries worldwide. They were detected at 49 locations at concentrations of the sum of 49 congeners of up ... -
Multivariate assessment of outflow water quality in highly urbanized creek system: Implication of natural and anthropogenic processes
(Springer, 2021)Nutrient source and transport study in tropical creeks adjacent to megacities are sparse on a regional and global scale. High-frequency chemical data collected during 2017-2018 in the Thane creek system, the largest ... -
Impacts of variable nutrient stoichiometry (N, Si and P) on a coastal phytoplankton community from the SW Bay of Bengal, India
(Taylor and Francis, 2021)The worldwide release of excessive nutrients (nitrogen [N], silicon [Si] and phosphorus [P]) into coastal waters is impacting phytoplankton growth and community structure. The coastal Bay of Bengal (BoB) is predicted to ... -
Bioluminescence in aquatic and terrestrial organisms elicited through various kinds of stimulation
(Springer, 2021)The term bioluminescence refers to a conspicuous light emission displayed by numerous aquatic and terrestrial organisms. This phenomenon has so far not been observed in several taxonomic groups like archaea, protista, ... -
Isolation and characterization of marine bioluminescent bacteria for toxicity bioassays and biotechnological applications
(Springer, 2021)Toxic heavy metals pollution posed severe health hazards to the environment and biodiversity. Therefore, the development of rapid and non-invasive bioassays is in the race to monitor toxic chemicals using novel approaches. ... -
Evaluation of wave growth and bottom friction parameterization schemes in the SWAN based on wave modelling for the central west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2021)In the present study, SWAN wave model is nested with Wavewatch 3 to reproduce waves off the central west coast of India using ERA-5 winds. The sensitivity of SWAN wave model was tested with different wave growth and bottom ... -
Role of shamal and easterly winds on the wave characteristics off Qatar, central Arabian Gulf
(Elsevier, 2021)Waves in the Arabian Gulf (Gulf) are dominated by shamal winds during winter and early summer. Although wave characteristics in the Gulf are broadly studied, features associated with various wind systems are not explicitly ... -
Impact of lockdown on the environmental quality along the Indian coast and a tropical estuary
(Elsevier, 2021)The COVID-19 lockdown significantly improved the global environmental quality by restricted anthropogenic activities. We aimed to understand the response of Indian coastal environmental quality and an estuarine (Zuari ... -
Influence of hydrological factors on bacterial community structure in a tropical monsoonal estuary in India
(Springer, 2021)In the present study, we analyzed variations in bacterial community structure along a salinity gradient in a tropical monsoonal estuary (Cochin estuary [CE]), on the southwest coast of India, using Illumina next-generation ... -
Abundance and characteristics of microplastics in commercially important bottom dwelling finfishes and shellfish of the Vembanad Lake, India
(Elsevier, 2021)This paper characterize microplastics (MPs) in the heavily urbanized, brackish water Vembanad Lake (India), focussing on some commercially important bottom-feeding fishes and shellfish (Arius maculatus, Etroplus suratensis, ... -
Southwest monsoon-driven changes in the phytoplankton community structure in the central Arabian Sea (2017-2018): After two decades of JGOFS
(Elsevier, 2021)The Arabian Sea, a land-locked low latitude high productive oceanic province, is characterized by strong seasonality due to the reversal of monsoon winds. "Open ocean upwelling" occurs during the southwest monsoon (SWM) ... -
Technology demonstration of a novel seabed resident event-driven profiling system
(Current Science Association, IAS, 2021)The seabed resident event-driven profiling system (SREP) was deployed in the northeastern Arabian Sea for winter convention studies. SREP is an autonomous profiling system consisting of two parts: a stationary seabed unit ... -
Octocoral colonies as spawning ground for the cuttlefish Sepiella inermis (Cephalopoda: Sepiidae)
(Springer, 2021)Corals are key ecosystem engineers, supporting marine biodiversity by providing nursery ground and living habitat. Among corals, octocorals are a diverse group of soft corals that are an integral part of reef ecosystems. ... -
Distribution pattern of the benthic meiofaunal community along the depth gradient of the Western Indian continental margin, including the OMZ and abyssal plain
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2021)The continental margin harbors a variety of habitats that support incredible biodiversity and the function of their oceans' ecosystems. The meiofauna is considered a significant component of the benthic faunal community ... -
First record of cold-seep induced enhanced water column methane concentrations from the EEZ of India
(Springer, 2021)A scientific expedition was carried out onboard RV Sindhu Sadhana (12th to 23rd February, 2020) for gas hydrate/cold-seep exploration in Mannar basin, northern Indian Ocean. We observed for the first time gas flares in the ... -
