At present there is no content available for this section, once content will be available would be updated.
- Reported two novel genera of anaerobic fungi (Oontomycesanksri&Buwchfawromyceseastonii), which were only the 7th & 8th genera since their discovery in mid-seventies.
- Developed methods for differentiation of genera/ species of these fungi using D1/D2 domain of large-subunit r-DNA &’long-term preservation of anaerobic fungi’
- Contributed towards the diversity of methanogens & methane-mitigation interventions.
