The latitudinal differences in geochemical and physiographic nature could evoke varied biological/microbiological response in the deep-sea benthic ecosystem of the Central Indian Ocean. Sediment cores have been examined along latitudinal gradient as a part of the Polymetallic Nodules-Environmental I...
