    Persepectives on Extremophilic Actinobacteria - A Review
    (University of North Bengal, 2022) Sen, Gargi; Ghosh, Sandipan; Sarkar, Indrani; Sen, Arnab
    Actinobacteria are considered as the most potential and biotechnologically viable prokaryotes because of their ability for the production of bioactive metabolites. They have immense biosynthetic prospect that remains unopposed without a competent organism from other microbial collections. But the prospect of finding highly potential actinobacteria from ambient habitats is reduced due to the wide exploitation for antibiotic production. So attention has been diverted to the unexploited extremophilic habitats such as marine sediments, mangroves, deserts, rocks, glaciers, etc. Extremophilic actinobacteria are competent producers of new secondary metabolites that show a wide range of antagonistic activities against bacteria, fungi, cancer and also exhibit insecticidal and enzyme inhibition. This review is an attempt to explore extremophilic actinobacteria that may form the source for the synthesis of novel drugs that could be used to combat resistant pathogens and also for xenobiotic degradation.

    A conference report on 19th International Meeting on Frankia and Actinorhizal Plants
    (University of North Bengal, 2019-03) Sarkar, Indrani
    The 19th International conference on Frankia and Actinorhizal plants which I attended along with one of my colleague Miss Reha Labar was held from 17th-10th March, 2018 at Hammamet, Tunisia Since my research is about Frankia and other actinobacteria, this conference provided a full opportunity to meet with people from different parts of the world who are working on the same topic and also learned some new techniques they are using for better understanding of Frankia and Actinorhizal symbiosis.
