Samet KALKAN
|
Dr. Samet Kalkan has a PhD degree from Istanbul University, Institute of Graduate Studies in Science and Engineering, Department of Marine Biology. He currently works as an associate professor at Recep Tayyip Erdogan University, Faculty of Fisheries, Department of Marine Biology, Türkiye. He has been working as an academic at university since 2010. His main researches focus on marine bacteria, bacterial diversity, bacterial pollution, marine biotechnology, and resistant bacteria against heavy metals-antibiotics. He has several ongoing scientific projects based on bacterial bioremediation of intensely polluted marine water, wastewater, and aquatic areas with various chemicals. He focuses on the bioreduction ability of marine bacterial isolates to convert hexavalent chromium, which is classified as a group 1 carcinogen, the highest level by the World Health Organization (WHO), into trivalent chromium, a more stable and less toxic form. He investigates the chromium removal potential of sediment bacteria and tries to find solutions to the urgent environmental problem of hexavalent chromium pollution. He also focuses on investigating the resistance and bioremediation potential of marine bacterial isolates from the Black Sea to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) compounds, which are among the priority pollutants in the world and tries to offer an approach to a priority environmental pollution problem such as PAH pollution. He has scientific abroad experiences in Italy and Portugal. |
