The department has introduced a certificate course in Mushroom Cultivation. The Department consists of highly experienced faculty members who strive to provide quality education at post-graduate and research levels. With respect to service, the faculty team has an exemplary record of participation in National & International conferences, editing professional journals and reviewing grant proposals from regional and national organizations. The research outcomes of the department are well evidenced by publication of several research papers in peer reviewed national and international journals with good impact factor. The department regularly organizes national level seminars, symposia, workshops and Guest lecture.
The course involves the study of the biology of bacteria, viruses, protozoa and fungi. As microbiologists are required to do research for the future battle against diseases worldwide and to exploit microbes in the production of food, the main focus of the course is the study of pathogenic potential of the organisms that cause disease in man. Aspects of biochemistry, physiology and genetics of microorganisms are also discussed.
