Biography
M Lakshmi prasuna is currently pursuing her doctoral studies at Department of Plant Sciences, University of Hyderabad, India. Her work spans on bacterial physiology and metabolism of a model system, Rubrivivaxbenzoatilyticus JA2 a phototrophic Betaproteobacterium which is metabolically versatile. Her study is focused on aromatic amino acid (L-phenylalanine) metabolism under oxic/anoxic growth modes coupled to aryl-metabolites synthesis. Her studies demonstrated insights of catabolic complexity of strain by employing stable isotope tracers and global metabolic profiling. Her work has been published in the journal, Microbiological Research and also part of genome sequence project of this organism has been published in Journal of Bacteriology.
