Dr. Maulin P. Shah is Chief Scientist and Head of the Industrial Waste Water Research Lab, Division of Applied and Environmental Microbiology Lab at Enviro Technology Ltd., Ankleshwar, Gujarat, India. His work focuses on the impact of industrial pollution on the microbial diversity of wastewater following cultivation-dependent and cultivation-independent analysis. His major work involves isolation, screening, identification, and genetically engineering high-impact microbes for the degradation of hazardous materials. His research interests include biological wastewater treatment, environmental microbiology, biodegradation, bioremediation, and phytoremediation of environmental pollutants from industrial wastewaters.
- Includes microbially driven sequestration of environmental contaminants such as xenobiotics, heavy metals, petroleum-based pollutants, and other micropollutants
- Overviews recent discoveries in geomicrobiology, aeromicrobiology, biocontrol, complex plant-microbe relationship, and microbial process energetics
- Reviews promising ecologically benign technologies, such as waste valorization, biomining, the use of biosolids and microbial metabolites
