Microbial diversity and algae research

INTRODUCTION

Microorganisms form the cornerstone of life on Earth, driving essential ecological and biochemical processes. Among them, bacteria, fungi, and cyanobacteria represent highly diverse groups with immense metabolic versatility and environmental adaptability.

Our laboratory focuses on isolating and exploring this diversity to understand and harness their potential in bioremediation, biofertilization, and sustainable biotechnology.
