Marine Microbial Products

Dr. Sesan Abiodun Aransiola is Lecturer at the Department of Microbiology, University of Abuja, Nigeria. He obtained his BTech, MTech, and PhD in Microbiology from the Federal University of Technology, Minna, Nigeria. His area of interest is environmental microbiology with a focus on biosorption and bioremediation. Dr. Aransiola is a member of both the Nigerian Society for Microbiology and the American Society for Microbiology, and has co-edited several books on the topic, including Elsevier’s Microbial Technology for Bioenergy (2024).Dr. Naga Raju Maddela is Professor of Microbiology at the Technical University of Manabi. He obtained his MSc and PhD in Microbiology from Sri Krishnadevaraya University, India, and conducted post-doctoral research at Sun Yat-sen University, China. His area of interest is environmental microbiology with a focus on the ecological impacts of industrial effluents and insecticides. Dr. Maddela is a member of the Microbial Society, England, the International Biodegradation & Bioremediation Society, Great Britain, and the American Society for Microbiology. Dr. Mariam Iyabo Adeoba is a Research Fellow at the University of South Africa’s Department of Mechanical Bioresources and Biomedical Engineering. She obtained her MSc from the University of Agriculture, Nigeria, and her PhD in Zoology from the University of Johannesburg, South Africa. Her areas of interest include zoology, environmental management, and renewable energy, within which she has focused on water resources management, waste management, and nature conservation. She currently investigates the suitability and quality of fish waste for anaerobic digestion. As a Resource Person for the Women in the Just Energy Transition (JET Skills Program, Phase II, South Africa), she has designed and delivered training modules on renewable energy project management to empower women and promote gender equality in the energy industry.
