Molecular, Cellular BioFactories

Algae Supplemented Hard Candies:

Microalgae with nutritional properties can be used in foods and confectioneries and has rich metabolic profile. Hard candies were prepared with glucose syrup, sucrose, microalgae biomass and citric acid.

Black Soldier Fly in Recycling Organic Waste:

Hermetia illucens, The black soldier fly, is a prevalent and widespread member of the Stratiomyidae Family. It has gained increased attention due to its valuable role in recycling organic waste and producing animal feed.

FluoroDot Technologies:

Cancer specific antibody is used in the detection of cancer. Antibody will reversibly bind to quantum dots. If the signal is present antibody will bind to it. After binding fluorescence will be produced by quantum dots.

Whole genome sequencing of environmental bacterial isolates:

Whole genome sequencing of environmental bacterial isolates done for the characterization of biosynthetic gene clusters that encode chemical commodities of pharmaceutical applications.

Algal derived biogenic materials

Algal derived biogenic materials used for their applications in food energy and pharmaceutical.

Phage Therapy:

Increased resistance to antibiotics leads to development of alternative options. A. baumannii causes nosocomial infections and is a good candidate for drug development.
