Microbial Systematics/Microbial metabolites/Bacterial Nanocellulose

Microbial systematics is the science of identification, classification and naming of living organisms. Taxonomic work involves study of morphological characteristics and phylogenetic relationship of organisms which is essential for applied biological sciences, such as medicine, agriculture, forestry and fisheries. Development of biotechnologies and their industrial applications depend heavily on taxonomy. I am very much interested in identification of prokaryotes and their application in Biotechnology process, depending on the place within the phylogenetic framework, a taxonomically unassigned strains needs to be characterized by a wide range of approaches to obtain a broad range of informative data from the genetic and epigenetic level, including morphology, physiology, chemistry, DNA patterns, gene sequences and whole genome hybridization.
