Riassunto

This contributed volume compiles the latest improvements in the field of nanobiotechnology, with a special emphasis on microbial-synthesized nanoparticles. It focuses on topics that comprise the microbials synthesized nanoparticles, their characterization, and applications in the field of medicine and biotechnology, which are organized in three parts, respectively. Ranging from micro-scale studies to macro, it covers a huge domain of nanotechnology in relevance to microbiology. Overall, the book portrays the importance of microbial processes in the sustainable production of nanomaterials to reduce the environmental burden caused by nanomaterials produced by chemical processes. The book is a ready reference for practicing students, researchers of nanobiotechnology, environmental biotechnology, and other allied fields likewise.

Informazioni sull?autore

Naga Raju Maddela received his MSc (1996–1998) and PhD (2012) in Microbiology from Sri Krishnadevaraya University, Anantapuramu, India. During his doctoral program in the area of Environmental Microbiology, he investigated the effects of industrial effluents/insecticides on soil microorganisms and their biological activities, and he has been working as a Faculty in Microbiology since 1998, teaching undergraduate and postgraduate students. He received “Prometeo Investigator Fellowship” (2013–2015) from Secretaría de Educación Superior, Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación (SENESCYT), Ecuador, and “Postdoctoral Fellowship” (2016–2018) from Sun Yat-sen University, China. He also received external funding from “China Postdoctoral Science Foundation” in 2017. He is working in the area of environmental biotechnology, participated in 30 national/international conferences, and presented research data in China, Cuba, Ecuador, India, and Singapore. Currently, he is working as a full-time professor at the Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud, Universidad Técnica de Manabí, Portoviejo, Ecuador. He has published 10 books, 45 chapters, and 60 research papers.

Joan Manuel Rodríguez Díaz received his bachelor’s degree in chemical sciences (2003), MSc in Process Analysis in the Chemical Industry (2007) from Universidad Central de Las Villas, PhD in Chemistry in Analytical Chemistry (2013), and two postdoctoral degrees at the Federal University of Pernambuco (2014–2015). Currently, he is working as a Principal Professor II, Principal Investigator III, Coordinator of the master’s degree in chemical engineering, and Coordinator of the Laboratory of Chemical and Biotechnological Analysis at the Universidad Técnica de Manabí (Ecuador). Since 2019, he is working as a visiting professor of the postgraduate program in Chemical Engineering at the Universidade Federal da Paraíba (Brazil). He is a director of several research projects and collaborator in other projects with universities in Brazil, Portugal, and Cuba. He has  guided 8 PhD and 18 MSc students and tutored in post-graduate programs at Instituto Politécnico de Leiria (Portugal), Universidad Técnica de Manabí (Ecuador), Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, and Universidade Federal da Paraíba (Brazil). He has published 8 book chapters (Springer) and more than 45 research papers. He is the reviewer for several journals, including Research on Chemical Intermediates, Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering, Brazilian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Journal of Cleaner Production. He has expertise in Environmental Chemistry, in areas of bioadsorption, filtration processes, heterogeneous catalysis, nanomaterials, new biadsorbent materials, and advanced oxidation processes (AOP).

Maria Conceição Branco da Silva Montenegro (1957) is a full professor at the Laboratory of Applied Chemistry, Department of Chemical Sciences, Faculty of Pharmacy atthe University of Porto (FFUP), Portugal, in the fields of Analytical Chemistry and Applied Chemistry. She graduated with her bachelor’s degree (1980) and PhD (1991) in Pharmacy with specialization in Pharmaceutical Chemistry from the University of Porto. She is a senior researcher at LAQV/REQUIMTE, a Portuguese Research Centre for Sustainable Chemistry, where she leads a unit of sensors and biosensors. Her main research activities are related to the development of sensor platforms with potentiometric and electrochemical transduction for food, pharmaceutical, clinical, and environmental control. She also extended her area of expertise looking for new polymeric membrane approaches for retention and separation, applied to clinical, bioanalytical, and environmental concerns and new degradation methods for environmental remediation. She has published over 200 articles, 7 book chapters, and 3 patents; supervised more than 20 PhD students; and led more than 15 scientific projects. She maintains several research collaborations with foreign universities, namely Charles University (Czech Republic), Technical University of Manabí (Ecuador), Federal University of Pernambuco (Brazil), and Instituto de Química, Universidade de Campinas (Brazil) collaborating in research projects and in the supervision of students.

Ram Prasad, PhD, is associated with Department of Botany, Mahatma Gandhi Central University, Motihari, Bihar, India. His research interest includes applied and environmental microbiology, plant-microbe interactions, sustainable agriculture, and nanobiotechnology. Dr. Prasad has more than two hundred publications to his credit, including research papers, review articles and book chapters, and six patents issued or pending, and edited or authored several books. He has twelve years of teaching experience and has been awarded the Young Scientist Award and Prof. J.S. Datta Munshi Gold Medal by the International Society for Ecological Communications; FSAB fellowship by the Society for Applied Biotechnology; the American Cancer Society UICC International Fellowship for Beginning Investigators, USA; Outstanding Scientist Award in the field of Microbiology; BRICPL Science Investigator Award and Research Excellence Award.
