Research Activities
Development of bioremediation strategies for degradation of aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons using microorganisms collected from contaminated sites. This work involves biodegradation of model substrates using bioremediation strategies such as bioaugmentation and biostimulation (nutrients and biosurfactants). Application of the designed strategies for ex situ remediation of soil and water samples from an oil refinery.
