Doctorate of Dr. Dheeman
His research was focused on investigating the diversity of Bacillus, a group of spore-forming bacteria, present in the rhizosphere of Eleusine coracana L (Ragi). In his study, he employed the Simpson and Shannon-Wiener Index to explore site-specific diversity. During greenhouse experiments and field trials, he observed the PGP (Plant Growth-Promoting) Bacillus have demonstrated both direct and indirect impacts on plant growth, leading to enhancements in vegetative and reproductive growth parameters. Notably, the density and diversity of cultivable bacteria showed a positive correlation at specific sites under his investigations.
Moreover, the research explored the biodiversity of cultivable spore-forming bacteria in the altitudinal gradients of the majestic Himalayas, a biodiversity hotspot. The study shed light on the adaptability and capabilities of Bacillus in countering environmental calamities, making them effective Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR).
In summary, his study encompassed a comprehensive exploration of Bacillus diversity in the rhizosphere of Eleusine coracana L, highlighting its significance in promoting plant growth and its adaptability to various environmental conditions, particularly in the ecologically sensitive regions of Himalaya.
