Stress Biology in Photosynthetic Organisms

Dr. Arun Kumar Mishra is a Professor at the Laboratory of Microbial Genetics at Banaras Hindu University, India. His group has been working on several aspects of cyanobacterial metabolisms and stress-signaling attributes. However, in recent times his lab is dedicated to understanding certain key metabolisms and signaling prospects in heterocytous cyanobacteria like regulation of sulfur homeostasis, mechanistic signal transduction of circadian cycle, regulation of nitric oxide signaling mediated by NOS enzyme as well as the pertinence of different cell demise modalities. He and his team confer expertise in proteome and metabolome profiling in cyanobacteria, polyphase-based species identification, microscopy, and genetic manipulation techniques. He has published more than 100 high quality peer-reviewed research articles in various reputed international journals. Further, he has also edited book entitled “Cyanobacteria: From Basic Science to Application” dealing with the current research advancement in cyanobacteria.
