Dinoflagellates in a mesotrophic, tropical environment influenced by monsoon (2008)
DeCosta, P.M., Anil, A.C., Patil, J.S., Hegde, S., DeSilva, M.S., Chourasia, M.
The changes in dinoflagellate community structure in both e the water column and sediment in a mesotrophic, tropical port environment were investigated in this study. Since the South West Monsoon...
Hegde, S., Anil, A.C., Patil, J.S., Mitbavkar, S., Venkat, K., Gopalakrishna, V.V.
Trichodesmium, an important marine nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria, is widespread in tropical waters and contributes substantially to the global chemical cycles by new production. The interesting and...
Temporal variation of diatom benthic propagules in a monsoon-influenced tropical estuary (2008)
Temporal variations in the diatom benthic propagule (DBP) community and their role in the phytoplankton community in a monsoon-affected tropical estuary, Zuari estuary, Goa (India) are presented. The...
Role of Diatoms in marine biofouling (2006)
Anil, A.C., Patil, J.S.., Mitbavkar, S., DeCosta, P.M., DeSilva, S., Hegde, S., ...
Diatoms are one of the early colonisers on surfaces submerged in the photic zone of the environment. Their colonisation on man made structures, termed biofouling, has enormous implications in the...
Biofilm diatom community structure: Influence of temporal and substratum variability (2005)
Diatoms, which are early autotrophic colonisers, are an important constituent of the biofouling community in the marine environment. The effects of substratum and temporal variations on the fouling...
Natural biofilms constitute a complex network of microorganisms (bacteria, diatoms, protozoa, fungi) and their extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), which influence settlement inbenthic...
Quantification of diatoms in biofilms: Standardisation of methods (2005)
Benthic diatoms, which often dominate marine biofilms are mostly pennate along with a few centric species that have an attached mode of life. Even though the range of diatoms in biofilms is diverse,...
Despite tropical estuarine systems representing important sites for active biogeochemical processes, studies on dimethyl sulphide (DMS) in these systems are sparse. Here we report on DMS and...
