AGRONOMY AND AGRICULTURAL TECHNIQUES

Biography:

Dr. Suwat Saengkerdsub received B.Sc. degree (Marine Science) from Chulalongkorn University, Thailand in 1997. After graduation, He continued to study for M.Sc. (Industrial Microbiology), Chulalongkorn University in 2000, and then during October 2000 to September 2001 he worked at Tohoku, Japan, as a researcher in International Post-Graduate University Courses in Microbiology supported by the Japanese Government and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). At Tohoku University, he cloned nodulation genes with reported gene (lacZ) into Bradyrhizobium japonicum, which is a Gram-negative microorganism fixing nitrogen from air into nodule at soybean‘s root. He pursued another M.Sc. (Food Science and Technology) from Texas A&M University, Texas and Ph.D. degree (Poultry Science) from the University of Arkansas, Arkansas, USA in May 2012. At Texas, hisresearch was identification and quantification of methanogens, a group of strictly anaerobic microorganism, in chicken ceca. In contrast to work at Texas, he isolated over-production of methionine microorganisms and cloned linoleate isomerase gene into expression hosts such as E. coli BL21 and Bacillus spp. He was employed as Postdoctoral Associate position at the University of Arkansas, Arkansas, USA for 2 years and was a lecturer at Prince of Songkla University, Thailand from May 2014 to June 2019.
