Research Description
I am a postdoctoral researcher in Denmark working on a project aimed at promoting lake restoration across Europe. My research focuses on utilising microbes, including bacteria and mycorrhizal fungi, to enhance the recycling of nutrients, particularly phosphorus, from nutrient-rich sediments dredged from lakes. I am eager to expand my professional network and collaborate with researchers worldwide to further explore these microbial interactions and their potential applications.

Research Description
My research focuses on the functional diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), as well as their involvement in nutrient biogeochemical cycling, especially the carbon and nitrogen cycle. I am also interested in the interactions of AMF with other plant mycobiomes particularly pathogenic fungi.

Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India
Research Description
At the Agriculture University of Jodhpur India, Krishna Saharan holds a dual role as an Assistant Professor and a Soil Microbiologist. Her studies are primarily concerned with the interactions between plant microorganisms (mycorrhiza fungi and plant growth-promoting rhizobacterua), the functional variety of PGPRs and AM fungi, and their field applications. Her research has shown important connections between the functions of agroforestry, soil biogeochemical cycle, mycorrhizae, mycology, bioinoculants, soil microbial ecology, fungal ecology, plant-microbe interactions, and agroforestry agriculture microbiology.
