Details
Executive Summary : | Objective:1. Isolation, purification and preservation of myxobacteria from different ecological niches of India. 2: Identification and characterization of Myxobacteria using classical and modern taxonomic methods.3: Whole Genome sequencing and in silica analysis to estimate the biosynthetic potential of the isolates in terms of their secondary metabolite gene clusters (i.e. NRPS, PKS etc). |
