Enzyme and Microbial Biochemistry Lab

DEEKSHA GOPALIYA, a graduate student from the Enzyme and Microbial Biochemistry Laboratory, has been awarded the prestigious Commonwealth Split-Site Scholarship by the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission In The Uk.
She will be spending a year of her Ph.D. at the Department of Bioengineering, Imperial College London, United Kingdom. Congratulations to her and best wishes!

Greetings everyone,
We share an exciting field visit of our lab students (Mr. Bibhuti Das and Mr. Nitin Srivastava) to Sambhar Lake, Jaipur, Rajasthan. This expedition was conducted to collect samples of halophiles thriving in hypersaline environments. It was a thrilling experience to mine biotechnologically potential microbes.
As a glimpse of this remarkable visit, a series of captivating pictures were captured, showcasing the stunning natural beauty of Sambhar Lake and the scientific marvels that call it home. We eagerly await the findings of the research and want to extend our appreciation for their dedication and contribution.

Greetings everyone!
We're delighted to share two recently published research articles from our lab by Ms. Ankita Maurya and Ms. Sukriti Srivastava in the contemporary areas of ‘Plastic Degradation’ and ‘Neurosciences’, respectively.
The articles are titled as follows:
1. "Biodegradation of terephthalic acid using Rhodococcus erythropolis MTCC 3951: Insights into the degradation process, applications in wastewater treatment and polyhydroxyalkanoate production" in the journal Environmental Science and Pollution Research.
2. "Screening of Multitarget-Directed Natural Compounds as Drug Candidates for Alzheimer’s Disease Using In Silico Techniques: Their Extraction and In Vitro Validation" in the journal ACS Omega.

These studies contribute valuable insights to the fields of environmental biotechnology and Alzheimer's disease research.
You can find the articles here:

• https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.3c04261

Join us in congratulating them on their publications.

It is a delightful moment for us. One of our research scholars Mr. Shahenvaz Alam will be defending his Ph.D. thesis entitled" STUDIES ON MICROBIAL L-ASPARAGINASES AND AMIDASES AND THEIR APPLICATIONS IN FOOD INDUSTRY" on July 5, 2023 at 11:00 AM
Venue: MS-710, Committee Room, Department of Chemistry, IIT Delhi
