This contributed volume focuses on the latest innovations in the field of marine microbiology. Marine ecosystems are dynamic natural resources and home to very primitive life forms. They include open sea, deep sea, coastal marine ecosystem mudflats, seagrass meadows, mangroves, and rocky intertidal systems. This book deals with the various aspects of marine microbiology including diverse habitats, associated microorganisms, their adaptations, ecological interactions, biogeochemical cycling, and industrial applications. It also discusses the issue of pollution in oceans and put forward available strategies for its eco-friendly solution. In recent years, extensive research, advanced methodologies, and high-throughput instrumentation have resulted in voluminous data and information that require proper compilation and worldwide sharing. From this perspective, the book is a perfect documentation of primary and secondary data-based information on the latest research findings, case studies, experiences, and innovations in the field of marine microbiology. The book is of great use to students, researchers and professionals studying marine sciences.

Mireille Fouillaud

Mireille Fouillaud is a senior lecturer at the biology department of University of La Reunion and a researcher in the Laboratory of Chemistry and Biotechnology of Natural Products (ChemBioPro). She graduated in 1990 as an industrial microbiology engineer. Following a Ph.D. in Cell Biology and Microbiology from the University of Aix-Marseille (France), defended in 1994, she was recruited in the biology department of the Faculty of Sciences and Technology of the University of La Reunion. Between 2009 and 2020 she joined the food engineering department of ESIROI (Ecole supérieure d'Ingénieurs Réunion Océan Indien), where she taught biology and microbiology applied to agribusiness. In 2020, she joined the Faculty of Sciences of University of La Réunion again to teach microbiology and project management. Her main research interests range from the microbial diversity of ecosystems and organisms to the biotechnological production of metabolites of interest to industries. Some years ago, she decided to focus on pigmented metabolites obtained from marine-derived filamentous fungi, with potential applications in foods or dyeing industries. She also leads research studies on actinomycetes producing specialized bioactive metabolites.
