About this ebook
Manganese Mining Microorganisms covers the latest amalgamation of the diversity of Mn biomining microorganisms, their biosolubilization mechanisms, and their role in natural manganese biogeochemical cycling. The book demonstrates the role of microorganisms as applied to manganese recovery from ores using bacteria. This new book provides an in-depth view of the latest trends in green mining, along with mechanistic views of biomining and bio recovery processes for both academic (undergraduate, postgraduate, doctoral students and lecturers/researchers) and industrial readers. - Highlights the microbial diversity involved in manganese bioleaching/biomining - Includes ecological and metagenomic insights of mining environments - Describes mechanism of manganese bioleaching/biomining - Explores and illustrates case studies in mineral microbiology - Reports recent developments and future trends in manganese biomining

About the author
Dr Alok Prasad Das is Associate Professor, in the School of Biotechnology at Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India. His research focuses on bioleaching technologies for metal recovery and waste management, microbial biogeochemical cycling of manganese, and advanced mineral processing with an emphasis on microbial resource recycling for sustainable development. More recently, his work has expanded into geomicrobiology and marine microplastic pollution, including microbial biodegradation of microplastics and characterization of marine sediment contamination. With over 15 years of research experience, Dr. Das has authored more than 150 peer-reviewed publications and has been supported by multiple funded projects.Dr. Shreya Ghosh received her PhD in Biotechnology from Siksha O Anusandhan University, India, MSc degree from Amity University, Uttar Pradesh and BSc (Physiology Hons.) from Presidency College, Kolkata. She has been associated with premier institutes like IIT Delhi, IIT Bombay and CSIR IMMT to name a few. Dr. Ghosh's research focuses on microbial catalyzed bioleaching of inorganic manganese from mining waste residues. Her research also focuses on metagenomic analysis of mining samples for native microbial community studies and their role in biogeochemical cycling of manganese. She has more than 5 years of experience in the said field and has published her work in noteworthy publications like S. Ghosh and A.P. Das 2018, Nature Scientific Report; Mohanty et al., 2018, Rev in Env Sc & Biotech, Ghosh et al., 2016, Chemosphere. Her current Google Scholar: Citations is 484 and h-index is 10.
