ABOUT SOUMYADEV

I was awarded Ph.D. from Jadavpur University on novel insights into the nitrogen stress response of Papiliotrema laurentii strain RY1. As a postdoctoral scientist at Kansas State University, I used metagenomics to dissect the complex microbe-microbe and host-microbe interactions in plant-microbe systems. At present, I am at Arizona State University where I am implementing the techniques of microbiology and bioinformatics to elucidate the symbiotic relationship between the cyanobacteria and the heterotrophs residing in the cyanosphere.
