Research

Phytoplasma Biology

Phytoplasmas are wall-less, phloem-restricted pathogens that inflict major yield and quality losses in crops such as sugarcane, brinjal and sandalwood. Our research deciphers how phytoplasma effector proteins reprogram plant hosts at the molecular level. By identifying host targets of key effectors like SAP05, SAP11 and TENGU—associated with chlorosis, phyllody, dwarfing and sterility—we are building the foundation for effector-based diagnostics and phytoplasma-resistant crop varieties. Ongoing work integrates field surveillance, vector detection assays and high-resolution genome sequencing of emerging strains. We are also advancing draft phytoplasma genomes toward completion to map effectors, mobile elements and host-adaptive traits. These efforts aim to link molecular mechanisms with disease epidemiology and translate discoveries into resistance breeding and early detection strategies.

Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR)

The global rise of antimicrobial resistance threatens treatment outcomes across human, animal and environmental health sectors. To address this challenge, BRIC-NCCS has established the AMR Repository—an integrated platform for genomic surveillance of resistance determinants from clinical and environmental sources. The collection includes isolates from hospitals, aquaculture systems, wastewater and soil, enabling cross-sector comparisons of resistance reservoirs and gene flow. This resource supports a long-term One Health strategy for monitoring resistance evolution, outbreak tracing and antibiotic stewardship. In parallel, we are advancing next-generation anti-infective discovery by mining uncultured and extremophilic microbes and using machine learning to predict novel antimicrobial peptides. Prioritized candidates are being channeled toward synthesis and mechanism-based validation. Together, these efforts aim to create a discovery and surveillance pipeline that links genomics, prediction and translational applications for public health and industry.

Microbial Taxonomy

Microbial taxonomy drives discovery by revealing new biology and unlocking biochemical potential. Our group investigates microbial diversity in freshwater and sediment habitats to uncover previously uncharacterized taxa. Using a polyphasic framework that integrates genomic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic approaches, we have identified novel bacteria with traits of industrial and ecological value, from cold-active enzymes and stress-tolerant membranes to unusual metabolic pathways. Several of these taxa have been validly described, strengthening microbial systematics and contributing to national and global culture collections. This work not only expands the resource base for biotechnology, bioremediation and environmental monitoring but also supports conservation, benefit-sharing and long-term repository development under national bioresource mandates.
