Industrial Biotechnology Laboratory
IBT lab aims to develop sustainable, and cost-effective bioprocesses for the production of various commercially important bioproducts by employing the strategies of bioprocess and classical fermentation technology. Currently, we have been focusing on microbial conversion of industrial byproducts/wastes such as crude glycerol and agro-residues into valuable biofuels (biobutanol and biohydrogen), chemicals (propanediol, butanediol and succinic acid) as well as industrially important enzymes (laccase, Mn-peroxidase and ligninase).
We have multiple vacancies for Ph.D, Post-Doc and M.Sc projects and summer interns. Interested students can write to the PI at akrgobi@sau.int
