Message

Euglena gracilis, one of the mysterious photosynthetic protist, is found ubiquitously in fresh or brackish water as well as moist soils. These unique features made it one of the most studied model organisms for investigation of cell biology and biochemistry. Various ROS by-products are produced during various metabolic processes of E. gracilis which causes oxidative stresses in E. gracilis. Hence, E. gracilis might be a good model organism for biochemical studies of redox metabolites and would be potential candidate for reducing oxidative stresses in plants. I completed my graduation in Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology. My MS thesis was about characterization of endophytic microorganisms from medicinal plants and their application in reduction of biotic and abiotic stresses in plant.
