Soumya Ghosh Editor

Professor Azeem PhD is currently working as a Professor at the Department of Botany and Microbiology, Faculty of Science, Suez Canal University, Ismailia 41522, Egypt. He completed his Ph.D. degree from Suez Canal University, Ismailia, Egypt. Prof. Abdel-Azeem is a mycologist with particular interest in the ecology, taxonomy, biology, and conservation of fungi, especially on the members of the phylum Ascomycota. His research includes isolation, identification, and taxonomic assessments of these fungi with particular emphasis on those which produce bioactive materials from different ecological habitats especially endophytes. He is the editor in chief of Microbial Biosystems Journal (MBJ) and a reviewer of more than seven international journals. He has published more than 70 research paper journals, 27 book chapters in books published by international publishers, and 5 books Dr. Marieka Gryzenhout PhD is passionate about studying fungi (mycology). Her mycology career started when she developed a world monograph of the important tree pathogen fungal family Cryphonectriaceae. Her research instilled in her a hunger to discover fungal species, describe them and untangle taxonomic problems using a practical approach and making the knowledge available to diverse end-users who do not necessarily have the appropriate skills and background. Her current position as biosystematist in the Department of Genetics at the University of the Free State, is conducive to follow her research ideals. Currently she published 85 international peer reviewed articles, three books (one has been revised and released again) and four book chapters Soumya Ghosh PhD is presently a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Genetics, University of the Free State, South Africa since September, 2019. Following his completion of his PhD from Stellenbosch University, South Africa (2011-2015) he pursued his first postdoctoral studies at the Department of Biology, Thompson Rivers, University, BC, Canada (2016 -2017). Prior to his PhD, he worked as Research Fellow position at University of Gröningen, The Netherlands (2005) and at the Department of Systems Biology, Technical University Munich, Germany from 2008 to 2010.. Dr Ghosh is working on diverse fields ranging from plant biology to microbial diversity that will potentially lead to discovery of novel drug molecules. He has published 21 articles in peer reviewed journals Hhe is engaged in formulating bacteriogenic and mycogenic nanoparticles in order to mitigate the plant pathogens Dr.Teroj A. Mohammed PhD is currently working as a microbiologist at the Basic Science Department, College of Dentistry, University of Duhok and she is a Ph.D. candidate for medical microbiology.Teroj research includes isolation, identification, and taxonomic analysis of Microbiological organisms, emphasizing those that are Zoonotic and have an impact on human health, as well as special interest on fungi that produce biologically active compound . Her most recent attraction is for fungus consevation and biodiversity. She is a member of the American Society for Microbiology, the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Collaborator Network, and the Iraqi Mycologists newtwork . She has published more than 13 research paper journals, focusing on Microbe's human health effect and Fungal bibliography
