Research Activities

-Bacterial degradation of hydrocarbons.

 

-Collection, screening, isolation and identification of potential microbial candidates with degradation capabilities towards a vast array of hydrocarbons (specifically linear alkanes and mono-aromatics).

 

-Study of degradation kinetics in single and multiple substrate systems.

 

-Enhancing bio-remediation using bio-augmentation and bio-stimulation.

 

-Studying bio-remediation in soil microcosms and real contaminated soil samples.
