Improvement

Crop Improvement

Our quest is to discover beneficial microbes that are able to improve plant growth, and enhance tolerance to biotic and abiotic stress. We work with beneficial microbes, primarily endophytes. We isolate, identify, screen and bioformulate the beneficial microbes. Plant-microbe interactions are also studied to advance our understanding on the use and application of biocontrol agent.

Bioremediation & Green Chemistry

We explore and harness the use of microbes for the removal of toxic pollutants (dyes, metals, hydrocarbon) from wastewater. We isolate, identify and determine the mechanisms of pollutant removal by microbes. We also optimize and improve their removal and efficacy using pre-treatments and immobilisation techniques.

Bioactive compounds

Bioactive Compounds

Beneficial microbes are investigated for their valuable compounds produced, such as lignin-degrading enzymes, anticancer compounds, antimicrobial compounds and antioxidants. The compounds are extracted, partially-purified and elucidated for their bioactivities.
