About the editors
Prof. Neilan is a molecular biologist who studies microbes and their chemistries, including the genetics of toxic cyanobacteria. The research has led to an understanding of the biochemical pathways responsible for producing their toxins. He also studies natural microbial products from novel environments, including symbioses, and the mechanisms of complex biosynthesis of these bioactive compounds.
Prof. Passarini's research areas are microbial ecology and microbial bioprospecting of extreme environments in the search for enzymes and metabolites of industrial interest applicable to the production of biofuel and degradation processes of environmental pollutants, as well as Metagenomic and metabarcoding.
Dr Singh is currently working at the Department of Biotechnology, Mizoram University, PUC campus, India. His research focuses on plant and cyanobacterial stress biology around the omics approaches.
Dr Kumar is a microbiologist, and his research area includes microbiome, postharvest management, microbial biocontrol, plant-microbe Interactions, Cyanobacteria research and endophytes.
