Research Interests Publications Conferences Research Projects

I am supervising my students in the following areas of applied and environmental microbiology:

 

  • Bio-upcycling for conversion of recalcitrant plastics into value added materials: establishment of a circular (bio)-economy for plastics;
  • Investigation for the plastics degrading potential microorganisms in the environment, understanding the mechanism of degradation as well as role of esterolytic enzymes such as esterases, lipases or cutinases in their degradation;
  • Investigation for metallo-resistant microorganisms from metal contaminated environment and understanding their role in recovery and removal of metals through leaching and sorption strategies.
  • Development of bioluminescence-based bioreporter systems for real time monitoring of heavy metals in environmental water samples.
  • Study of microbes that live in extreme environments such as thermophiles, radio-resistant, acidophiles, alkaliphiles as well as metallo-resistant microorganisms, understanding their mechanism of survival to extreme conditions and their metabolites of biotechnological significance.
  • Studies on production, purification and characterization of industrially important enzymes with desirable properties such as thermostability, alkaline stability, halophilicity and organic solvents tolerance are important to meet the industrial demands.
  • Bioremediation and detoxification of pulp and paper mills effluents by microorganisms and development of pilot scale bioreactor for effluent treatment.
  • Production of bio-ethanol from lignocellulosic biomass
  • Co-utilization of methanol and biomass hydrolysates for production of fatty acids derivatives
  • Antimicrobial susceptibility testing, molecular epidemiology and serodiagnostics of human pathogens
