No good work is created without joining hands, and it will be defi nitely deluding and improper to say that we could have completed this study single- handed. This effort was not carried out solely by us but was aided by a quite few people whom we wish to thank now because this is the best time and place.
We are thankful to Dr. Satish Shetye, V.C. of Goa University, and V.P. Kamat, Registrar, Goa University, for providing necessary facilities and Prof. Sanjeev Ghadi and Prof. Savita Kerkar for their support. Our sincere thanks go to Prof. Saroj Bhosle, Prof. Irene Furtado, Prof. Sarita Nazareth, Dr. Sandeep Garg, Dr. Lakshangy S. Charya, Dr. Priya D’ Costa, Dr. Vishwas Khodse, Dr. Sanika Samant, Dr. Gauri Achari, Dr. Varada Damare, Dr. Trelita de Sousa, Dr. Swapnil Doijad, Dr. S. B. Barbuddhe, Dr. Flory Pereira, Dr.
Mahesh Majik, Dr. Teja Gaonkar and Dr. Pranay Morajkar. I express my sin- cere gratitude to the entire non-teaching staff including Mr. Shashikant Parab, Budhaji, Dominic, Saraswati, Deepa, Narayan and Rudransh for their con- stant help and support in various ways. We owe our deepest sense of gratitude to our friends Mr. Uday Naik, Amar Degvekar, Kashinath Shetgaonkar and Mrs Pranaya Naik. We also thank Government of India for fi nancial support as SERB-DST young scientist project. We have successfully compiled our creative and thoughtful research work due to genuine concern and painstak- ing effort of many more well-wishers whose names are not mentioned, but they are still in our heart. So, reward is surely worth for their efforts.
We want to dedicate this book to the late Shri Mohan Ladu Naik (retired PSI Menkurem, Goa) and Mrs Manisha Mohan Naik (Menkurem).

Dr. Milind Mohan Naik has a PhD in Microbiology from Goa University.
He joined Department of Microbiology in Goa University as assistant profes- sor of marine microbiology in the year 2013. His research efforts have been focused on understanding the metal-resistance mechanism in bacteria from marine and terrestrial environments and their potential applications in biore- mediation of polluted environmental sites. He has published over 20 research papers. He is a recipient of SERB-DST Young Scientist project award. He has guided eight postgraduate dissertation projects. He has also worked as scien- tist ‘C’ on the ‘Malaria Evolution in South Asia’ project funded by NIH and University of Washington, USA, in the National Institute of Malaria Research (ICMR). He has worked as scientist in Molbio Diagnostics Pvt. Ltd. in the Research and Development Department in 2012. His research interests are environmental microbiology and nanobiotechnology. He aims to gain knowl- edge in the research fi eld of marine microbiology and biotechnology with the intent of learning new concepts.
Prof. Santosh Kumar Dubey has a PhD in botany from BHU, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh. He joined the Department of Microbiology, Goa University, in the year 1996. His research efforts have been focused on understanding the metal and organometal resistance mechanisms in bacteria from marine and terrestrial environments, metagenomics, agriculture microbiology, genetic engineering and molecular biology. He has published 32 research papers in international journals, 9 in national journals and 8 chapters in edited books published by international and national publishers. He has guided 9 PhDs and 30 M. Sc. dissertations. He has fi ve postdoctoral research experiences in sev- eral universities of the USA (Clarkson University; University at Buffalo;
Roswell Park Cancer Institute, Buffalo, New York; University of Nevada Las Vegas, Las Vegas) and also is a recipient of JSPS fellowship in Japan. He has served as Head, Department of Microbiology, and Chairman, Board of Studies in Microbiology, at Goa University twice. He is programme coordi- nator of the UGC sponsored innovative programme of M.Sc. in Marine Microbiology in the Department of Microbiology, Goa University. He was awarded a visiting scientistship from the Centre of Marine Environmental Studies, Ehime University, Matsuyama, Japan, and a National Overseas Scholarship (PDF) from the Department of Education M/O Human Resource
