Study of Abilities of CO₂ Sequestering Bacteria in Reducing Carbon Foot Printing for Potential Industrial Applications

• Isolation, purification and characterization of carbonic anhydrase from bacteria isolated from mangrove and marine ecosystem

• Characterization of carbonic anhydrase gene and enzyme kinetics.

• Application of the enzyme in carbon dioxide sequestration and microbial induced carbonate precipitation (MICP).
