Department of Microbiology of IARI was established in the year 1961 . Focus of the Division is on basic, applied and strategic research on microorganisms of agricultural importance.

Major research thrust areas of the Division are:

Organic matter decomposition for improved soil fertility and health

Plant –microbe interaction for nutrient acquisition and growth promotion as well as protection

Technology development for production of second generation biofuel

Understanding and application of anaerobic microbial processes of agricultural importance

Formulation of biofilmed biofertilizers for nutrient management and biocontrol measures

Understanding the mechanism and isolation of microorganisms with biocontrol capabilities

Diversity analysis of eubacteria and archaebacteria in extreme environments

Economic utilization of blue green algae and microalgae for value added products
