Research Interests: Dr. A. G. Khan is a Professor of Microbiology specializing in soil and water decontamination promoted by plants (Nano-phytoremediation) and their root-associated symbiotic microbes (Plant Growth Promoting Free-Living and Symbiotic Rhizobia, and Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi) that enhance in situ nano-mycorrhizo-phyto-remediation (NMPR) and increase biomass production at lowest cost for bioenergy conversion. He supports the approach of linking and amalgamating phytoremediation strategy with mycorrhiza for increased energy production in order to fulfil the energy demand required for expanding urbanisation and industrialization and worldwide accelerated environmental pollution mitigation. Current researches have addressed the potential of non-food contaminant-accumulating, and fast-growing bioenergy plants that can fulfil this dual purpose of phytoremediation of heavy-metals and radio-nucleotide contaminated terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and energy production.
About the topic:
The book aims at tackling different aspects of environmental pollutants of air, soil and water, and their nano-remediation from a biotechnological point of view to harness the potential of microbes for reclaiming derelict terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems resulted by anthropogenic activities by man causing destruction of important natural resources. Microbial communities of the soil play important role in geochemical cycling, revegetation, and ecosystem restoration and rehabilitation of derelict terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. The chapters offer a comprehensive review of nanotechnological strategies to decontaminate soil, water, and air contaminated by heavy metals, Uranium and other contaminants using non-food bioenergy plants and their root-associated non-pathogenic and symbiotic microbiota. Role of these microbiota in mitigation and bioavailability of essential trace elements and micronutrients in contaminated soils is another important aspect requiring further research. Insight into rhizospheres of plants growing on contaminated soils, i.e. insight into plant-rhizo-microbiome interaction for sustainable vegetation of derelict terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, deserves further investigation.
