AVS MICROBIOLOGY TODAY

ORIGIN OF OUR DEPARTMENT

The Department of Microbiology, AVS college of arts and science

was started during the academic year 1995, with a vision of

establishing world class Science and Technology base with a view

to provide knowledge, skills and services in Microbiology with

internationally competitive systems

The Department is well equipped with all essential research

instruments. The students of this department have so far

submitted around 93 researches at National and International

level seminars and conferences under the valid guidance of

faculties. The department has placed student in various

Government, National and International institutes like

IISC,JNCASR etc.,

PRINCIPAL MESSAGE

Research involving microbiology has been strong in areas of basic

molecular mechanisms and infectious diseases for many decades. The

recent discovery relating to the previously unimaginable extent of

microbial diversity to human health. As we enter the 21sd century microbes

ones again is at centre stage as we recognize the eminent role that

microbes play in the shaping of our planet. Microbes make up the majority

of the world’s biomass, they are number and diversity greatly suppress

those all other organisms.

The study and utilization of this virtually unexplored biological

reservoir will help microbiologist for decades to come. Our institution plan

accordingly and as if looks towards the future make microbial ecology and

integral part of its plan for growth.

OBJECTIVES OF OUR DEPARTMENT

To examine the ecological and practical roles of microbes in

food and water concerned with the relationships between

microbes and crops, with an emphasis on improving yields

and combating plant diseases.

To concerned with the uses of microbes to produce or

harvest large quantities of substances such as beer,

vitamins, amino acids, drugs, and enzymes

To monitor and control the spread of diseases in

communities

FUTURE

ACHIEVEMENTS AND DIRECTIONS OF OUR DEPARTMENT

The research interests of the Department are in the areas of production of

industrially important enzymes and carbohydrates from yeasts, moulds, actinomycetes

and bacteria; microbial differentiation, lignocellulose biodegradation, ethanol

production from lignocellulosics, molecular biology of lignin degradation, antifungal

antibiotics, hemolysins, mass inoculum production of ectomycorrhiza and other

important fungi, carbon sequestration using heterotrophs, bioremediation,

understanding host pathogen interaction, new drug targets, microbial genomics and

proteomics and metagenomics. Collaboration with industries for research is an

important thrust in the Department.
