Biography

Molecular plant pathology is my area of specialization working on using rhizobacteria as biocontrol agents against fungal plant pathogens in the aspect of antibiosis as a mechanism of biocontrol and identifying the kind of antibiotics produced by the biocontrol agents using molecular techniques or tools.
