First evidence of denitrification vis-à-vis monsoon in the Arabian Sea since Late Miocene
In the Arabian Sea, South Asian monsoon (SAM)-induced high surface water productivity coupled with poor ventilation of intermediate water results in strong denitrification within the oxygen minimum zone (OMZ). Despite the significance of denitrification in the Arabian Sea, we have no long-term record of its evolution spanning the past several million years. Here, we present the first record of ...

Diversity of nitrite reductase genes (nirS) in the denitrifying water column of the coastal Arabian Sea
Denitrification often occurs in the water column, underlying zones of intense productivity and decomposition in upwelling regions. In the denitrifying zone off the southwest coast of India, high concentrations of nitrite (>15 μM) and nitrous oxide (>500 nM) have been reported near the sediment-water interface (<80 m). We investigated the chemical and molecular indicators of denitrification alon...
متن کاملBenthic Nitrogen Loss in the Arabian Sea Off Pakistan
A pronounced deficit of nitrogen (N) in the oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) of the Arabian Sea suggests the occurrence of heavy N-loss that is commonly attributed to pelagic processes. However, the OMZ water is in direct contact with sediments on three sides of the basin. Contribution from benthic N-loss to the total N-loss in the Arabian Sea remains largely unassessed. In October 2007, we sampled th...
متن کاملN2 Fixation in the Eastern Arabian Sea: Probable Role of Heterotrophic Diazotrophs
Biogeochemical implications of global imbalance between the rates of marine dinitrogen (N2) fixation and denitrification have spurred us to understand the former process in the Arabian Sea, which contributes considerably to the global nitrogen budget. Heterotrophic bacteria have gained recent appreciation for their major role in marine N budget by fixing a significant amount of N2. Accordingly,...
