Prof. Dr. Jayanta Kumar Patra, M.Sc., Ph.D., P.D.F, is currently working as an Associate Professorat Dongguk University, Republic of Korea. He holds about 14 years of research and teaching experience in the fields of food, pharmacology, and nano-biotechnology. To his credit, he has published more than 200 papers in various national and international peer-reviewed journals and around 50 book chaptersin different edited books. Dr. Patra has also authored 22 books in various academic publications. Dr. Mishra received his PhD in 2010 from North Orissa University and his thesis focused on Microbial Diversity in Mangroves. He has 17 journal publications and has co-authored 3 book chapters. Dr. Hrudayanath Thatoi is Director of the Centre for Industrial Biotechnology Research (CIBR) at Siksha “O” Anusandhan Univeristy, India. He obtained his MSc and PhD from Utkal University, India, and served as Chairman of the P.G. Council of MSCB University and as a mangrove biologist and Senior Scientist at the MS Swaminathan Research Foundation prior to his current role. Dr. Thatoi’s research interests span molecular biology, industrial biotechnology, microbiology, and aquaculture. He serves as a member of several scientific societies and editorial boards of national and international journals. He is a recipient of the Samanta Chandra Sekhar Award by DST, Government of Odisha; the Prof. Harihar Pattanaik Award for environmental science by the Orissa Botanical Society; and Fellow of the Society of Applied Biotechnology. He has worked on several Elsevier titles, including Biotechnological Utilization of Mangrove Resources; Applications of Metagenomics; Innovations in Fermentation and Phytopharmaceutical Technologies; and Emerging Trends and Imminent Applications.
