In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Bacteria
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

Kauser A. Malik mainly investigates Rhizosphere, Agronomy, Botany, Horticulture and Zinc. His studies in Agronomy integrate themes in fields like Loam, Food science and Microbial inoculant. His work deals with themes such as Genetically modified crops, Endosperm and Phytase, which intersect with Food science.

His Botany study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Halophyte and Acidobacteria, Firmicutes, Actinobacteria. His research in Horticulture is mostly concerned with Inoculation. His research integrates issues of Pantoea agglomerans, Rhizobacteria, Pseudomonas fragi, Shoot and Phytic acid in his study of Zinc.
