We proudly dedicate this book to Prof. (Dr.) M Haridas, professor emeritus and founder head of the Department of Biotechnology and Microbiology, Kannur University, Kerala, India. Prof. Haridas epitomises the triumph of inventiveness over all other settings, which make ones contribution less significant, a triumph of genius over circumstances. For decades, he has pursued and achieved excellence in both research and teaching. His achievements are powerful and lasting in their impact on a global scale. What makes them so inspiring to younger generations of scientists and teachers is that they are more necessary in the present world where science only could solve the problems of environment and human society.
