Biotechnological Utilization of Mangrove Resources

Dr Jayanta Kumar Patra, MSc, PhD, PDF, is an Associate Professor at Dongguk University, Republic of Korea. He has around 14 years of research and teaching experience in the fields of pharmacology and nano-biotechnology. His current research focuses on nanoparticle synthesis by green technology methods and associated biomedical applications: green synthesis of silver, gold, iron, calcium, phosphorous nanoparticles using food waste, agricultural waste and plant materials and evaluation of their antibacterial, antioxidant and cytotoxicity potential. He also focuses on the antibacterial synergistic potential of nanoparticles and conjugation with different antibiotics, drugs etc. along with ethno-medicinal potential of plants. Dr Patra has published >150 articles in various national and international peer-reviewed journals, including Materials Science and Engineering C, Nanomedicine: Nanotechnology, Biology, and Medicine, International Journal of nanomedicine and Journal of Nanobiotechnology and around 35 book chapters. He is editor of 16 books covering nanotechnology in pharmacology, biomedicine and food sciences, including titles published with Apple Academic Press, CRC Press and Springer. He is currently also an editorial board member of >10 international journals, including BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Frontiers in Nanotechnology, Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, and Frontiers in Microbiology. 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.
