Extracellular electron transfer mechanism in Shewanella loihica PV-4 biofilms formed at indium tin oxide and graphite electrodes
(ESG, 2013)Electroactive biofilms are capable of extracellular electron transfer to insoluble metal oxides and electrodes; such biofilms are relevant to biogeochemistry, bioremediation, and bioelectricity production. We investigated ... -
Modulation of LPS induced inflammatory response by Lawsonyl monocyclic terpene from the marine derived Streptomyces sp.
(Elsevier, 2013)In continuing research for compounds with immunosuppressive activity, Lawsonone (1), a novel Lawsonyl derivative isolated from marine-derived bacteria Streptomyces sp. was evaluated for its potent immunosuppressive activity ... -
Interannual variability of the tropical Indian Ocean mixed layer depth
(Springer, 2013)Interannual fluctuations of the mixed layer depth (MLD) in the tropical Indian Ocean are investigated from a long-term (1960-2007) eddy permitting numerical simulation and a new observational dataset built from hydrographic ... -
Bimodal character of cyclone climatology in the Bay of Bengal modulated by monsoon seasonal cycle
(American Meteorological Society, 2013)The annual cycle of tropical cyclone (TC) frequency over the Bay of Bengal (BoB) exhibits a notable bimodal character, different from a single peak in other basins. The causes of this peculiar feature were investigated ... -
The carbon budget of South Asia
(European Geosciences Union, 2013)The source and sinks of carbon dioxide (CO sub(2)) and methane (CH sub(4)) due to anthropogenic and natural biospheric activities were estimated for the South Asian region (Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan and ... -
A new record of Scylla olivacea (Dcapoda, Bachyura, Prtunidae) from Goa, central west coast of India – A comparative diagnosis
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2013)Taxonomic studies on mud crabs (Scylla) reveal considerable ambiguity in species identification owing to overlap of morphological characters. Present study consists a new record of Scylla olivacea along with a comparative ... -
Intensified oxygen minimum zone on the western shelf of Bay of Bengal during summer monsoon: Influence of river discharge
(Springer, 2013)A study on biogeochemical cycling in the west coastal Bay of Bengal was undertaken during the peak discharge period to understand the influence of enhanced stratification and primary production on the possible intensification ... -
Seasonality and variability of coccolithophore fluxes in response to diverse oceanographic regimes in the Bay of Bengal: Sediment trap results
(Elsevier, 2013)A study on coccolithophores from the sediment trap samples, collected over a period of one year (January 1992–December 1992) from three trap locations in the Bay of Bengal (BOB) were used to understand their production and ... -
Mitochondrial DNA analysis reveals three stocks of yellowfin tuna Thunnus albacares (Bonnaterre, 1788) in Indian waters
(Springer, 2013)Yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) is an epipelagic, oceanic species of family Scombridae found in tropical and subtropical region of Pacific, Indian and Atlantic Ocean. It is commercially important fish and accounts for ... -
Observation-Based Estimates of Surface Cooling Inhibition by Heavy Rainfall under Tropical Cyclones
(American Meteorological Society, 2013)Tropical cyclones drive intense ocean vertical mixing that explains most of the surface cooling observed in their wake (the "cold wake"). The influence of cyclonic rainfall on the cold wake at a global scale over the 2002-09 ... -
Near-inertial currents off the east coast of India
(Elsevier, 2013)We use data from moorings equipped with Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs) and deployed in the Bay of Bengal off the east coast of India from May 2009 to February 2012 to study the near-inertial currents (NICs) on ... -
Sulfide oxidizing activity as a survival strategy in mangrove clam Polymesoda erosa (Solander, 1786)
(Bionano Frontier, 2013)The clam Polymesoda erosa is a large dioceous bivalve mollusk found in the mangroves restricted in high tidal Avicennia sp. zone of the mangrove forest. The present study was aimed at understanding the occurrence of P. ... -
Retrieved bacteria from Noctiluca miliaris (green) bloom of the northeastern Arabian Sea
(Chinese Society for Oceanology and Limnology, 2013)In recent years, seasonal blooms of the dinoflagellate Noctiluca miliaris have appeared in the open-waters of the northern Arabian Sea (NAS). This study provides the first characterization of bacteria from a seasonal bloom ... -
In situ profiling of eastern Arabian Sea coastal waters using a new autonomous vertical profiler
(IEEE, 2013)The autonomous vertical profiler (AVP) presented here offers a fast, cost-effective, optimized approach to profiling in coastal waters. It consists of a hands-free, slightly buoyant, motor-driven in situ robot profiler ... -
Variation in heavy metals concentration in the edible oyster Crassostrea madrasensis, clam Polymesoda erosa and grey mullet Liza aurata from coastline of India
(Discovery Publication, 2013)Seven trace metals Zinc (Zn), Iron (Fe), Manganese (Mn), Lead (Pb), Nickel (Ni), Cobalt (Co) and Cadmium (Cd) variation and (or) accumulation in mullet fish L. aurata, edible bivalve oyster C. madrasensis from Gosthany ... -
Stable isotopic analysis of Barnacle larvae and their faecal pellets to evaluate the ingested food
(Elsevier, 2013)Stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen are useful in the evaluation of food web dynamics and have been used extensively in the feeding studies. Barnacles are dominant component of the intertidal and bio-fouling communities. ... -
