Isolation and characterization of lactic acid bacteria for its commercial development as probiotics for poultry.
Rashtriya Ucchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA 2.0) is a Centrally Sponsored National Scheme for funding State Level Institutions to mainly improve overall quality of existing State higher educational institutions. RUSA funded project (project number :09) under the theme ‘Biotechnology’ has been sanctioned at the School of Biosciences, Mahatma Gandhi University for the academic year 2023-2024, and is currently being implemented in the department.
Title of the project: “Designer probiotics to mitigate the combined abiotic and pathogen stress in plants by deciphering the molecular crosstalk between Oryza sativa and its microbiome”.
