Biography
Dr. Ajar Nath Yadav is currently working as Assistant Professor, Department of Biotechnology,
Akal College of Agriculture, Eternal University, Baru Sahib, Himachal Pradesh, India.
He obtained his doctorate degree in Science (Microbial Biotechnology) in 2016, jointly from
Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi and Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra,
Ranchi, India; M.Sc. (Biotechnology), in 2009 from Bundelkhand University and B.Sc. (BCZ) in
2006 from University of Allahabad, India. He has made pioneering contributions in the area of
Microbial Biotechnology; Microbial Biodiversity; Microbial Ecology; Plant-Microbes Interaction;
Agricultural Microbiology; Environmental Microbiology and Beneficial Probiotic Microbes for
agriculture and Human Health. In his credit 71 Publications [29 Research papers, 06 Review
articles, 03 Book, 18 Book chapters, 06 Popular articles, 06 Editorials, 02 Technical reports
and 01 Patent] in different reputed international, national journals and publishers with 815
Citation, h-index-17 and i10-index 27 (Google Scholar). He has published 95 abstracts in
different conferences/symposiums/workshops. He has presented 18 papers presentation in
national and international conferences/symposiums and got 08 best paper presentations
Award, Young Scientist Award (NASI-Swarna Jyanti Purskar-2013) and 02 certificates of
excellence in reviewing Award. He has a long standing interest in teaching at the UG, PG and
PhD level and is involved in taking courses in agriculture microbiology, bacteriology, biosystematics and biodiversity, bioprocess engineering and technology, environmental
biotechnology, environmental microbiology, industrial microbiology, microbial biotechnology
and techniques in microbiology and biotechnology. Presently he is guiding 02 scholars for PhD
degree and 01 for M.Sc. dissertations. He has contributed in organizing 06
conference/workshops. In his credit >6700 microbes (Archaea, bacteria and fungi) isolated
from diverse sources and >550 potential and efficient microbes deposited at culture collection
National Bureau of Agriculturally Important Microorganisms (NBAIM), Mau, India. He has
deposited 2386 nucleotide sequences and 03 whole genome sequences (Bacillus thuringiensis
AKS47, Arthrobacter agilis L77 and Halolamina pelagica CDK2) and 02 transcriptome to NCBI
GenBank databases: in public domain. The niche-specific microbes from
extreme environments were reported as specific bio-inoculants (Biofertilizers) for crops
growing in normal and diverse abiotic stress conditions. Dr. Yadav and group have developed
technology for screening of archaea for phosphorus solubilization for the first time. He is
Editor/associate editor/reviewer of different international journals including Nature-Scientific
Reports, Microbial Ecology; Plos One, Extremophiles, Annals of Microbiology, Journal of Basic
Microbiology, Advance in Microbiology and Biotechnology. He has the lifetime membership of
Association of microbiologist in India, Indian Science Congress Council, India and National
Academy of Sciences, India.
