Gujarat Students Make Breakthrough: Glow-In-The-Dark Bacteria Discovered
Two BSc Microbiology students from Gujarat discovered bioluminescent bacteria in seawater samples from Ratnagiri. The breakthrough has potential applications in environmental conservation and biotechnology.
Two students from MK Amin College, affiliated with Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, have made a significant scientific discovery. Arnav Dhamdhere and Hariom Pathak identified bioluminescent bacteria in seawater samples collected from Ratnagiri. The bacteria were isolated and studied in detail over 11 months. The students worked under the guidance of Professor Devarshi Gajjar and Dr. Priya Jishnu. Bioluminescent bacteria have potential applications in environmental conservation, pollution monitoring, and biotechnology. The discovery was inspired by the students' reading about bioluminescent molecules and their role in ocean glow.
