Characterization of Isolated Microbial Strains Using Biochemical and Molecular Methods
Interns will perform phenotypic identification through biochemical tests (API strips, carbohydrate fermentation, enzyme assays) and genotypic analysis using 16S rRNA gene sequencing and DGGE profiling. They will learn strain differentiation, purity assessment, and phylogenetic classification of isolated microorganisms. This work involves bioinformatic analysis and comparative genomics to establish strain identity.

Screening and Selection of Microbial Strains for Biotechnological Applications
Interns will isolate and screen microbial strains for desirable traits such as antimicrobial production, enzyme secretion, heavy metal biosorption, or biofertilizer potential. They will develop and implement selection protocols using substrate-based assays and high-throughput screening methods. This includes strain preservation and cryogenic storage techniques for long-term maintenance of selected isolates.
