He is working on the production of chitosan from the chitin waste using Streptomyces griseoincarnatus RB7AG and its various applications as coating material, plant growth promotion, biofilm inhibition etc. along with that he had also established the presence of chitin deacetylase enzyme in RB7AG which helps in breakdown of chitin into chitosan.
ACHIEVEMENTS
He successfully qualified the Joint CSIR–UGC National Eligibility Test (NET) in 2022 and also secured the DBT-Junior Research Fellowship (DBT-JRF, Category II)
