♠Research: My subject specialization is fundamental microbiology and applied biotechnology but my research specialization on Bacterial Taxonomy and Molecular Microbiology. I have broad idea about geographical variation of nodule symbionts of medicinal plants in relation to IAA, EPS and Ascorbic acid production as well as Arsenic metalloid resistant PGPR in relation to phytoremediation and amelioration of phytotoxicity in rice cultivars. As I have trained on different institute and ability to deal with many sophisticated instruments like Scanning Electron Microscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy, Fluorescence Microscopy and UV-VIS spectroscopy Gas Chromatography, Gas Chromatography and Mass Spectroscopy and HPLC system etc. and have ability to designing research programmed my research field and allied areas. Act as reviewer of several high impacts factor journals of several communities.

FUTURE PROJECTS

“Study of halotolerant plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (Rhizospheric / endophytic) from mangrove vegetation of Sundarban, West Bengal and their role in sustainable agriculture”.

Soil salinization results in the continuous reduction of agricultural land throughout the world. Salinity, one of the major abiotic stresses, adversely affects plant growth and development as it interferes with several physiological, biochemical, and molecular processes of plants. In this aspect, salt-tolerant plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (ST-PGPR) may play a crucial role in sustainable agriculture and in meeting the demand for food for an ever-increasing population. The proposed study aims to study the diversity of halotolerant PGPR (Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria) in the mangrove vegetation of Sundarban and characterization in relation to their plant growth promotion for sustainable agriculture. Identification of isolated ST-PGPR strains would be made on the basis of phenotypic characteristics, molecular approaches like 16 S rDNA analysis, MALDI-TOF analysis, FAME analysis, WGS (whole genome sequence) analysis. Attempts will be made to characterize the important PGP (pl

• The main objective to isolate and characterize novel heavy metal resistant plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) from heavy metal contaminated rhizospheric soil of industrial belt under Burdwan district for restoration of degraded habitat particularly increase the yield of agricultural crops. This can be done by following strategies. ● Site Characterization ● Isolation, characterization, identification of heavy Metal resistant PGPR strains. Identification of Heavy metal resistant PGPR strains by physio-biochemical caharacteristics and 16S rDNA sequence based phylogenetic approach. ● Sequencing of nif gene, acdS gene and to characterize the the corresponding enzymes under stress condition. ● Characterization of some stress enzymes (e.g. SOD, Catalase, Glutathione peroxides, lipoxygenase induced due to stress response. ●Study the plant growth promoting ability of the isolated potent Heavy metal resistant PGPR strains in relation to seed germination and stress amelioration under s

SOCIAL, ECONOMIC, or ACADEMIC BENEFITS

Unique multi heavy metal resistant 5 bacterial strains (Bacillus cereus MCC3402, Bacillus aryabhattai MCC3374, Bacillus megaterium MCC3375, Bacillus flexus MCC3379 and Bacillus aryabhattai MCC3380) have been finally selected. All these strains identified as several species of Bacillus and resistant to arsenic as highest MIC than other metals are substantial level. These strains were potential organism for bioremediation of corresponding metals pollution. In vitro condition, these strains helpful in inducing plant growth and reducing toxicity as they decrease the level of stress-induced SOD and MDA in rice plant. In addition, they also have ACC deaminase activity and several other PGP traits, including siderophore production.
