Effect of chlorination on the development of marine biofilms dominated by diatoms
(Taylor & Francis, 2011)This study addressed the antifouling efficiency of commercially available chlorine at different concentrations (0.5%, 1%, and 2%) and exposure times (0.5 min, 1 min, 5 min, and 15 min). The rapid and non-destructive FIRe ... -
Mesoscale simulation of tropical cyclones in the South Pacific: Climatology and interannual variability
(American Meteorological Society, 2011)The Weather Research and Forecast model at 1/3 degree resolution is used to simulate the statistics of tropical cyclone (TC) activity in the present climate of the South Pacific. In addition to the large-scale conditions, ... -
Onset of industrial pollution recorded in Mumbai mudflat sediments, using integrated magnetic, Chemical, sup(210) Pb dating, and microscopic methods
(American Chemical Society, 2011)The onset and rise of urban and industrial pollution in the Mumbai region was reconstructed from an anthropogenically contaminated mudflat sediment profile from the adjacent Thane creek using magnetic parameters, polycyclic ... -
Enhanced bio-compatibility of ferrofluids of self-assembled superparamagnetic iron oxide-silica core-shell nanoparticles
(American Scientific Publishers, 2011)Self-assembled magnetic colloidal suspensions are sought after by material scientists owing to its huge application potential. The biomedical applications of colloidal nanoparticles necessitate that they are biocompatible, ... -
Chemosynthetic activity prevails in deep-sea sediments of the Central Indian Basin
(Springer, 2011)It is hypothesized that in the deep-sea, under psychrophilic, barophilic and oligotrophic conditions, microbial community of Central Indian Basin (CIB) sediments could be chemosynthetic. In the dark, at near ambient ... -
Adaptation of marine derived fungus Chaetomium globosum (NIOCC 36) to alkaline stress using antioxidant properties
(Elsevier, 2011)The fungi are an exceptionally useful model in elucidating the cell functions under extreme conditions (temperature, salinity, and pH values) and mechanisms underlying adaptation to those extreme environmental conditions. ... -
Statins: 3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors demonstrate anti-atherosclerotic character due to their antioxidant capacity
(Springer, 2011)Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of multiple etiologies. It is associated with the accumulation of oxidized lipids in arterial lesions leading to coronary heart disease. 3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme ... -
Aerosol optical thickness and spatial variability along coastal and offshore waters of the eastern Arabian Sea
(Oxford, 2011)Data from the ocean-colour monitor (OCM) on board the Indian Remote Sensing Satellite P4 were used to analyse the spatial and temporal distribution of aerosol optical thickness (AOT) over the coastal and offshore waters ... -
Variations in some environmental characteristics including C and N stable isotopic composition of suspended organic matter in the Mandovi estuary
(Springer, 2011)Chemical and isotopic (delta sup(13)C and delta sup(15)N) investigation of the Mandovi estuary along the Indian west coast affected strongly by the seasonal monsoon cycle was carried out. The Mandovi estuary is a major ... -
Marine ecological habitat: A case study on projected thermal power plant around Dharamtar creek, India
(Triveni Enterprises, 2011)Estuaries and tidal creeks, harboring mangroves particularly, face tremendous anthropogenic pressures. Expansion of mega cities and the thermal power plants are generally proposed in the vicinity of estuaries and creek, ... -
Life history of a free-living marine nematode Daptonema normandicum reared in laboratory
(Triveni Enterprises, 2011)Life history of a free-living meiobenthic nematode Daptonema normandicum (DeMan, 1890) was studied in the laboratory. Live specimens were primarily collected from the sewage outlet site near the mouth of the Mandovi estuary, ... -
Cobalt immobilization by manganese oxidizing bacteria from the Indian ridge system
(Springer, 2011)Co immobilization by two manganese oxidizing isolates from Carlsberg Ridge waters (CR35 and CR48) was compared with that of Mn at same molar concentrations. At a lower concentration of 10 mu M, CR35 and CR48 immobilized ... -
Nitrate records of a shallow ice core from East Antarctica: Atmospheric processes, preservation and climatic implications
(SAGE Publications, 2011)High-resolution records of nitrate (NO sub(3) sup(-)), oxygen isotope (delta sup(18) O) and non-sea salt sulphate (nssSO sub(4) sup(2-)) were studied using an ice core collected from central Dronning Maud Land in East ... -
Effect of concentrating and exposing the bioluminescent bacteria to the non-luminescent allo-bacterial extracellular products on their luminescence
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011)Bioluminescence is a biochemical process occurring in many organisms. Bacterial bioluminescence has been investigated extensively that lead to many applications of such knowledge. Quorum sensing in the bioluminescent ... -
Increasing evidence for the important role of Labyrinthulomycetes in marine ecosystems
(Walter de Gruyter, 2011)This review summarizes increasing evidence for the role of Labyrinthulomycetes in marine ecosystems gathered over the last six decades. It focuses on their diversity, habitats, biomass, productivity and overall role in ... -
On the relative roles of El Nino and Indian Ocean Dipole events on the monsoon onset over Kerala
(Springer, 2011)Interannual variations of the monsoon onset over Kerala (MOK) have been studied using data from over 60 years (1948-2009) of NCEP/NCAR reanalysis and outgoing long-wave radiation. The sea surface temperature fields over ... -
Paracoccus niistensis sp. nov., isolated from forest soil, India
(Springer, 2010)A Gram-negative, non-motile, catalase-positive and oxidase-positive, aerobic bacterium designated as NII-0918 sup(T) was isolated from soil sample in Western ghat forest, India. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that ... -
Metals in coastal zooplanktons - A coastal living resource hazard
