Microbial Conservation
Microbial Conservation section has the objectives to plan short term and long term conservation of AIMs, including obligate parasites on host plants under controlled condition etc.


Microbiology
Microbiology section has the objective to identify, characterize and document AIMs. Identification of AIMs is also carried out for the utilization as bio-fertilizers, bio-pesticides, growth promotion, bio-indicators, bio-degradation, bio-remediation, bio composting and food processing. Preparation of monographs of AIMs, synoptical keys for the identification of germplasm collection.
This section has two units:
Bacteriology and Mycology

Microbial Biotechnology
Microbial Biotechnology section is vested with biochemical and molecular marker, and diagnostic tools for AIMs.

Microbial Isolation & Preservation
Microbial Isolation and Preservation section is isolating and collecting AIMs from different agro climatic zones of India.
Cryopreservation Unit

Germplasm evaluation
The section of germplasm evaluation is responsible for the utilization of microbial resources in the agriculture to improve the productivity.
The section has the following units:
Bio-safety Bio-piracy Unit
Patent, IPR and Registration Unit
Quality Management Unit
