Environmental microbiome refers to the diverse communities of microorganisms that inhabit various ecosystems including soil, water and air. These microbial communities play crucial roles in biogeochemical cycles, nutrient cycling and  maintaining ecosystem health and stability. 

Our research team studies soil environmental microbial and the studies are essential for addressing pressing environmental challenges such as climate change and ecosystem degradation.

Research Domains

By studying the microbial communities, we gain insights into how they respond to environmental changes, thereby allowing us to develop strategies to protect and restore these precious ecosystems.

The study of environmental microbiome underscores our research and allows us to revolutionize the following domains:

1

Agriculture: understanding microbial interactions in soil and plant health leading to more sustainable and efficient farming practices

2

Environmental biotechnology: discovering consortia of microorganisms and their specific biogeochemical properties to develop effective revegetation strategies
