Naga Raju Maddela received his M.Sc. (1996-1998) and Ph.D. (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 worked as a Faculty in Microbiology for 17 years, 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, internal funding from "Universidad Técnica de Manabí" in 2020, worked in the area of Environmental Biotechnology, participated in 20 national / international conferences, and presented research data in China, Cuba, Ecuador, India and Singapore. Currently, he is working as a Full Professor at the Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud, Universidad Técnica de Manabí, Portoviejo, Ecuador. He has published 6 Books, 10 Chapters and 50 research papers. Aransiola, Sesan Abiodun obtained his first degree (B.Tech) and Master Degree (M.Tech) from the Federal University of Technology, Minna, Niger State, Nigeria in Microbiology in 2009 and Environmental Microbiology in 2014 respectively. Currently, Abiodun is concluding his PhD studentship at Federal University of Technology, Minna working on 'Microbial and Vermicompost assisted phytoremediation of heavy metals polluted soil'. He has published over 40 referred articles in professional Journals including five book chapters.
