Associate Professor
Ph. No.(033)24943218;09433964373(M)
Research Interests :
• Floral and Faunal Biodiversity of Gut inhabiting strains and their role in the physiology of Invertebrate Organisms.

• Qualitative and quantitative estimation of soil microorganisms and their role in cellulolytic activities.[I.J. Agric. Chem(1985) 18:221;Curr. Sc. (1985) 54(21): 1908].

• Gut associated bacterial flora of worker cast of termite of semiarid ecosystem was also been observed for cellulose digestion by implying enrichment technique. [Curr. Sc. (1986) 55 (15) : 710].

• Cellulose degraders along with total bacterial population of soil and the same of gut was observed for seasonal variation [ISME-4, Yugoslavia(1988); Arid Soil Res. & Rehab. (1988) 2(2): 75]

• Enzyme assays of bacterial flora and assays of mixed gut, mid gut and hind gut of invertebrate organisms indicated the site of enzymatic reaction as well as physiological properties of the strains [FEMS – Biochem & Genetics of Cellulose degradation, Pasteur Institute, FRANCE (1987)]

• The feeding habit of termite and the association of gut microflora (Staphylococcus sp., Micrococcus spp.) [ISEB-VIII, Nancy, FRANCE (1987)] was determined along with the soil inhabiting stains like Bacillus thermiqlcaliphilus [J. Gea Microbiol.(1993) 38(1): 29; W.J. Microbil & Biotechnol. (1994) 10709 & XIII ISSS Congress (1986), Hamburg, Germany]

• During her post doctoral research, she has worked on “Bioconversion of Cellulosic Residues” and Glucose isomerase activities of B. thermoalcaliphilus [Folia Microbiol. (1993) 38(1) : 29]

• “Biology of associative microorganisms digesting carbohydrates and nitrogenous materials” and “Chemicals from mammalian cells” are also her field of research interests and she has reported her findings in a book and two chapters of other books.

• Under UGC research project she continued her work on Nutrition, Growth characteristics, Cell Biology and Biochemistry of Symbiotic Cellulose degrading protozoan fauna from the alimentary canal of cockroach.

Dr. Trijit Nanda
Assistant Professor

Research Interests :

• Subject of specialization Neurobiology

• Research interest is on Ecophysiological work pertaining to histomorphology, histochemistry and Electron microscopy with particular reference to the genesis of cell biology.

• Presently engaged in Neurobiological probe on Lymnaea (Radix) luteola , Gastropod, Mollusc.

• Incidentally the aforesaid Mollusc house cercaria helminth, which subsequently pollutes the pond water. Attempt has been made to eradicate such pollution, neurobiolgically, without disturbing the ecosystem.

• Topic of the PhD work – Temperature induced behavioural changes in the cerebral neurosecretory elements in Lymnaea (Radix) luteola.

• Published research papers in reputed national and international journals.

• Serving as the Principal Investigator of UGC minor project.

• Serving as Associate NCC Officer under 20, Bengal Bn NCC unit, of the college.
