Happy Teachers Day A tribute to all my Teachers, Friends and Well wishers… [My Ph.D. Thesis acknowledgements, 12-12-2012] A Ph.D. thesis is an arduous journey through a hill which involves its share of Charm, Adventure and Pain through the various topsy – turvy curves. And when one reaches the pinnacle of success, the Joy and Bliss at that moment overwhelmed every other emotion. This project is similar to a Yagna (Hawan) where different “souls” put their “Aahuti”(efforts) for the Large benefit of some-one “Special”. I take this opportunity to thank all those who have helped in the completion of this project. We arrive on this earth because of our parents and on the stage of the world, because of our teachers. This study is an outgrowth of a valuable, continuous and systematic guidance of my supervisor, Dr. V. N. Sharma Emeritus Professor & former Director, Biotechnology Programme, MIET. Over the past decade, he has been a pillar of strength and support for me in his different roles as my teacher, philosopher, guide and mentor. I am extremely grateful for his enlightening experience in form of valuable suggestions and constructive criticism during the course of my investigation and preparation of this project report. I thank Shri Vishnu Saran, Chairman, MIET Group of Institutions, and Shri Gaurav Agarwal, Vice-chairman, MIET Group of Institutions, for encouraging and allowing me to complete this project in MIET. I thank Director, BITS, Pilani, for providing me an opportunity to study again with my alma mater. I also thank Dean, ARD (earlier Dean, R & C), BITS, Pilani, for giving technical advice through the various phases of my Ph.D. thesis, since its registration. I am highly thankful to Prof. A. Subrahmanyam, former Head, Department of Biotechnology (UG), MIET, for introducing me with the topic of research and motivating me always with a cheerful smile to complete this project at earliest. I thank Prof. N. R. Kalla, former Head, Department of Biotechnology (PG), MIET, for getting me through the various hurdles arose during the project and for helping me in obtaining necessary approvals pertaining to this project. My heartfelt thanks to my former classmate – cum colleague – cum friend, Dr. Shalu Agarwal, (with whom I initiated my Ph.D. thesis) for her support and morale boosting words during different phases of this project.
