Prevalence of obligate and facultative anaerobic bacteria in the mudbank along the southwest coast of India
(Elsevier, 2021)Mudbanks along the southwest coast of India are exposed to upwelled hypoxic waters and higher concentrations of methane during summer-monsoon.We report the phylogenetic composition of obligate and facultative anaerobic ... -
Physical forcing controls spatial variability in primary production in the Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2021)In order to examine the spatial variability and controlling factors of primary production in the Indian Ocean, deck-incubation primary production (13C method) and hydrographic properties were measured at 25 locations during ... -
Ecological responses of autotrophic microplankton to the eutrophication of the coastal upwelling along the Southwest coast of India
(Springer, 2021)The primary ecological effects of the eutrophication of upwelling in the nearshore waters are the triggering and sustenance of phytoplankton (diatom) blooms. Here, we present the changes in the morphological characteristics ... -
Biochemical responses of oysters in evaluating environmental quality of tropical Indian estuarine systems
(Elsevier, 2021)Impact of varying concentrations and counts of toxic metals and indigenous bacteria on antioxidative defense system in edible oyster, Saccostrea cucullata, collected from four tropical estuarine systems of Goa (west coast ... -
Phosphate removal through adsorption on suspended matter in the Bay of Bengal: Possible implications to primary production
(Springer, 2021)Low primary production in the Bay of Bengal (BoB) could not be explained as this region receives nutrients from atmospheric deposition, rivers, eddies, and mixing due to depression/cyclones. In addition to nutrients, BoB ... -
Seasonal Variation in Chemical Composition of Size-Segregated Aerosols Over the Northeastern Arabian Sea
(Frontiers Media�, 2021)Water-soluble species constitute a significant fraction (up to 60-70%) of the total aerosol loading in the marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL). The �indirect� effects, that is, climate forcing due to modification of ... -
Multiple Ecological Parameters Affect Living Benthic Foraminifera in the River-Influenced West-Central Bay of Bengal
(Frontiers Media SA, 2021)The huge riverine influx and associated processes decrease the ambient salinity, stratify the water column, modulate the oxygen-deficient zone, and are also responsible for the recent acidification in the Bay of Bengal. ... -
Chemical composition, nutritive value and health benefits of edible clam Meretrix casta (Chemnitz) from West Coast of India
(Springer, 2021)The present study was undertaken with a view to determine the nutraceutical value of the commonly consumed edible clam, Meretrix casta (Chemnitz), based on the identification of its organic chemical constituents particularly ... -
Long-term variability of Sea Surface Temperature in the Tropical Indian Ocean in relation to climate change and variability
(Elsevier, 2021)The long-term change in the sea surface temperature (SST) of the Tropical Indian Ocean (TIO) and the underlying mechanisms are examined in detail by analysing multiple reanalysis datasets and historical simulations of a ... -
Phycosphere associated bacteria- A prospective source of bioactive compounds
(Springer, 2021)Co-occurrence of bacteria and algae can be traced back to billions of years ago. Their coexistence for more than 200 million years in common habitat has fostered a multitude of promising interactions among these two groups ... -
Histopathological investigation of the reef coral Goniastrea sp. affected by macroalgal abrasion
(Springer, 2021)Interspecific competition between corals and macroalgae is a common phenomenon on coral reefs, and its impacts on the cellular structure of corals are not well studied. Field observations in Gulf of Mannar Marine National ... -
Widespread fluorescence in terrestrial and marine samples investigated from India
(Elsevier, 2021)The discovery of green fluorescent protein (GFP) from jellyfish Aequorea victoria has provoked numerous studies to unveil the myriads of biomedical applications. Consequently, several studies also revealed the prevalence ... -
Glacial-Holocene climate-driven shifts in lacustrine and terrestrial environments: Rock magnetic and geochemical evidence from East Antarctic Mochou Lake
(Elsevier, 2021)Geomorphic reconstructions of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet history across Antarctica suggest diachronous and varying retreat patterns with changing climate. However, little is known of how terrestrial environments responded ... -
Citizen science tools reveal changes in estuarine water quality following demolition of buildings
(MDPI AG, 2021)Turbidity and water colour are two easily measurable properties used to monitor pollution. Here, we highlight the utility of a low-cost device�3D printed, hand-held Mini Secchi disk (3DMSD) with Forel-Ule (FU) colour scale ... -
Influence of oil and gas exploration activities on the macrobenthic community structure of the Krishna-Godavari basin (Ravva coast), Western Bay of Bengal
(Pergamon, 2021)The influence of oil and gas exploration activities on the macrobenthic community of an offshore oil and gas drilling site was investigated along the Krishna-Godavari basin (KG), Western Bay of Bengal. In the oil well ... -
Fe and S-isotope compositions of hydrothermal deposits from Kings Triple Junction, Lau Basin, southwest Pacific Ocean
(Elsevier, 2021)We analyzed iron and sulfur isotopic compositions of polymetallic sulfides from an extinct hydrothermal mound near the Kings Triple Junction of the northern Lau basin belonging to a back-arc basin for understanding the ... -
Macrobenthos community response to the seasonal hypoxia associated with coastal upwelling off Kochi, along the Southwest coast of India
(Elsevier, 2021)This study presents the seasonal macrobenthic assemblages in the nearshore environment off Kochi along the southwest coast of India, which is exposed to the freshwater influx, and coastal upwelling associated seasonal ... -
Real Time PCR detection of Macrobrachium rosenbergii (de Man, 1879) larvae with emphasis to their ecology
(EDP Sciences, 2021)Species specific identification of early larval stages of many decapod crustaceans sampled from plankton collections remains cumbersome owing to lack of distinguishable characteristics, where DNA based molecular methods ... -
Marine Natural Products from Tunicates and their associated microbes
