CURRICULUM VITAE

(b) Research In Progress

I am researching into the microbial enhancement of ‘agro wastes’ into renewable energy, molecular characterisation of microorganisms, influence of plasmid associations on microbial activities and understanding bacterial interactions in different environments through biofilm formation.

I am also looking at the microbial communities in oral cavities in conjunction with other colleagues, studying their genetic variations which could lead to differential phenotypes in isolates.

I am actively involved in the preparation and recovery of microbial products and their potential applications in medicine and other fields. In this regard, I am currently involved in the genetic study of bioplastic production by Pseudomonas species and gamma polyglutamic acid production in Bacillus species.
