Dragana Stamenov

PhD (Microbial Biotechnology)

BIO

A research interest is mainly focused on Soil Enzymology, Soil Fertility and Bacterial Diversity in different types of soil and water. She is very interested in a deeper understanding of the processes occurring in the soil, microbial influence on the formation of soil organic matter, soil fauna and plant influence on the activity and number of microorganisms. Moreover, she is focus on the isolation and characterization of microorganisms with PGP characteristics from the rhizosphere of different plants, testing their ability to survive after entering the soil, and monitoring the impact of their application on yield parameters and microbial activity in the rhizosphere of plants. Non-molecular and molecular characterization of microorganisms, soil bioremediation and conservation using microbe based products is also part of her research.
