Brief Statement of research work

My research mainly focuses on the extraction and characterization of secondary metabolites from different bacterial species to determine their bioactive potential against biotic and abiotic stresses on food items/cereal grains. I also have expertise in molecular biology for the identification of various bacteria and fungi and their phylogenetic studies using different bioinformatics tools. Presently, I am working on the extraction of natural color pigments from various bacterial species and their application to fabric and yarn for dyeing.
