A comparative study of macrobenthic community from harbours along the central west coast of India
(Springer, 2009)Harbours are heavily stressed coastal habitats characterised by high concentration of contaminant and low diversity of benthic community. The west coast of India harbours most of the major harbours compared to the east ... -
Ocean-atmosphere interactions during cyclone Nargis
(American Geophysical Union, 2009)Cyclone Nargis (Figure 1a) made landfall in Myanmar (formerly Burma) on 2 May 2008 with sustained winds of approximately 210 kilometers per hour, equivalent to a category 3-4 hurricane. In addition, Nargis brought approximately ... -
Indian Ocean circulation and productivity during the last glacial cycle
(Elsevier, 2009)The Indian Ocean is an important part of the global thermohaline circulation system, receiving deep waters sourced from the Southern Ocean and being the location of upwelling and surface-ocean current flow which returns ... -
Morphometry and cell volumes of diatoms from a tropical estuary of India
(NISCAIR, India, 2009)Cell volumes and per cell carbon contents of different diatoms (10 centric, 14 pennate and 1 dinoflagellate) collected from Dona Paula Bay in the central west coast of India have been analyzed. Morphometric information on ... -
Monitoring shoreline environment of Paradip, east coast of India using remote sensing
(Current Science Association, 2009)In the present study, multi-temporal satellite images of Indian Remote Sensing Satellites (IRS1D and IRS P6 - Resourcesat) from 1998 to 2005 is used to monitor the coastal environment of Paradip, east coast of India. The ... -
Miramar (Goa) Beach Management Project: An Oceanographic Evaluation
(IK International, New Delhi, 2009)Miramar beach is a faunal storehouse as 50 macrobenthic species are recorded. About 80% meiobenthic communities and >50% macrobenthic communities inhabit the top 5 cm section of the intertidal zone. As such, mechanical ... -
Environmental magnetism and application in the continental shelf sediments of India
(Elsevier, 2009)Mineral magnetic and geochemical analyses were carried out on surface sediments from the continental shelf of India. The purpose of this study is to examine the environmental assessment of heavy metal concentrations and ... -
Identification of a novel UDP-N-acetylglucosamine enolpyruvyl transferase (MurA) from Vibrio fischeri that confers high fosfomycin resistance in Escherichia coli
(Springer, 2009)MurA [UDP-N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-NAG) enolpyruvyl transferase] is a key enzyme involved in bacterial cell wall peptidoglycan synthesis and a target for the antimicrobial agent fosfomycin, a structural analog of the MurA ... -
Prevalence and heterogeneity of Hemolysin gene vhh among hatchery isolates of Vibrio harveyi in India
(Springer, 2009)Vibrio harveyi, pathogenic to fish, harbor a hemolysin gene vhh, the homologues of which are found in many species of the Genus Vibrio. It is investigated that the prevalence of vhh gene among V. harveyi isolated from ... -
Importance of sieve size in deep-sea macrobenthic studies
(Taylor & Francis, 2009)The deep-sea is well known for high benthic biodiversity despite being a low-food environment. However, most deep-sea organisms are very small in size as an adaptation to food limitation. Macrofauna are generally considered ... -
Biochemical and molecular characterizaion of Bacillus pumilus isolated from coastal environment in Cochin, India
(Sociedade Brasileira de Microbiologia, 2009)Bacillus species constitute a diverse group of bacteria widely distributed in soil and the aquatic environment. In this study, Bacillus strains isolated from the coastal environment of Cochin, India were identified by ... -
Relict faunal testimony for sea-level fluctuations off Myanmar (Burma)
(The Palaeonlological Society of India, 2008)The distribution and ecological significance of the relict benthic foraminiferal assemblage found in the study area off Myanmar is discussed here. Of the 126 surface sediments studied for foraminiferal content, relict ... -
Studies on the nutrient distribution in the Southern Ocean waters along the 45 degrees E transect
