Microbial Technology Research Group consists of six main research topics which are: (1) nutrition & pharmaceutical (fermented food & feed, dll), (2) agriculture & forestry (biofertilizer, plant-microbes interaction, local microorganism), (3) Aquaculture (zero-waste water, symbiotic, biofloc), (4) Energy (MEOR, MFC, biogas), (5) Environment (bioremediation, biocorrosion, air microbiology), (6) Biomaterial (bionanomaterial, biopolymer). These six topics are coordinated between members of the group which consist of 19 researchers. Microbial technology Expertise Group currently has three full-time professors: Prof. Dr. Pingkan Aditiawati, Prof. Dr. Gede Suantika, and Prof. Dr. I Nyoman P. Aryantha.
