Biography

Dr. Ajar Nath Yadav is currently working as Assistant Professor, Department of Biotechnology,

Akal College of Agriculture, Eternal University, Baru Sahib, Himachal Pradesh, India.

He obtained his doctorate degree in Science (Microbial Biotechnology) in 2016, jointly from

Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi and Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra,

Ranchi, India; M.Sc. (Biotechnology), in 2009 from Bundelkhand University and B.Sc. (BCZ) in

2006 from University of Allahabad, India. He has made pioneering contributions in the area of

Microbial Biotechnology; Microbial Biodiversity; Microbial Ecology; Plant-Microbes Interaction;

Agricultural Microbiology; Environmental Microbiology and Beneficial Probiotic Microbes for

agriculture and Human Health. In his credit 71 Publications [29 Research papers, 06 Review

articles, 03 Book, 18 Book chapters, 06 Popular articles, 06 Editorials, 02 Technical reports

and 01 Patent] in different reputed international, national journals and publishers with 815

Citation, h-index-17 and i10-index 27 (Google Scholar). He has published 95 abstracts in

different conferences/symposiums/workshops. He has presented 18 papers presentation in

national and international conferences/symposiums and got 08 best paper presentations

Award, Young Scientist Award (NASI-Swarna Jyanti Purskar-2013) and 02 certificates of

excellence in reviewing Award. He has a long standing interest in teaching at the UG, PG and

PhD level and is involved in taking courses in agriculture microbiology, bacteriology, biosystematics and biodiversity, bioprocess engineering and technology, environmental

biotechnology, environmental microbiology, industrial microbiology, microbial biotechnology

and techniques in microbiology and biotechnology. Presently he is guiding 02 scholars for PhD

degree and 01 for M.Sc. dissertations. He has contributed in organizing 06

conference/workshops. In his credit >6700 microbes (Archaea, bacteria and fungi) isolated

from diverse sources and >550 potential and efficient microbes deposited at culture collection

National Bureau of Agriculturally Important Microorganisms (NBAIM), Mau, India. He has

deposited 2386 nucleotide sequences and 03 whole genome sequences (Bacillus thuringiensis

AKS47, Arthrobacter agilis L77 and Halolamina pelagica CDK2) and 02 transcriptome to NCBI

GenBank databases: in public domain. The niche-specific microbes from

extreme environments were reported as specific bio-inoculants (Biofertilizers) for crops

growing in normal and diverse abiotic stress conditions. Dr. Yadav and group have developed

technology for screening of archaea for phosphorus solubilization for the first time. He is

Editor/associate editor/reviewer of different international journals including Nature-Scientific

Reports, Microbial Ecology; Plos One, Extremophiles, Annals of Microbiology, Journal of Basic

Microbiology, Advance in Microbiology and Biotechnology. He has the lifetime membership of

Association of microbiologist in India, Indian Science Congress Council, India and National

Academy of Sciences, India.
