Applied research: We used both microbiological and engineering approaches to develop economical bioprocess. Current ongoing research projects are: (i) Microbial pectic transeliminases, (ii) Microbial caffeine degradation, (iii) Microbial production of L-carnitine precursors and (iv) β-1,3-glucan and glucan oligomer production, (v) Microbial production of L-Asparaginase and (vi) Haloltolerance of yeast species "Debaryomyces nepalensis"

Basic research: We use biochemical, biophysical and molecular biological techniques to study function of some important proteins and enzymes. Current ongoing research projects are: Biochemistry of proteins involved in translocation of phospholipids in membranes. |
