Research interest :
Biosurfactants produced by Bacillus licheniformis : Media optimization for production of lipopeptide biosurfactant of B. licheniformis ,its purification and characterization . Application of the crude biosurfactant in tertiary oil recovery in the laboratory using sand columns.
Bioemulsifiers produced by bacteria: activity and yield improvement
Denitrifying bacteria : Studies on Biofilm formation and kinetics of denitrification in Paracoccus sp. W1b . Also, study of the genes involved in the denitrification and their abundance in denitrifying sludge.
Soft-rot causing Erwinia sp.: Purification of pectinolytic enzymes from Erwinia carotovora carotovora sp. BR1 which are the main virulence factor and search for an inhibitor of this as an effective biocontrol agent. Quorum quenching mechanism as effective biocontrol against soft-rot Erwinia
Methylotrophic bacteria : Application of methylotrophic consortium in effluent treatment. Studies leading to development of moving bed laboratory scale reactor.
