Lakes of Africa: Microbial Diversity and Sustainability examines microbial ecosystems in African lakes, including the history and formation of African lakes. The book describes how environmental stressors—including seasonal variations, climate change, and anthropogenic activities—affect microbial ecosystem dynamics in African lakes and the microbial responses to these stressors. The book explores and evaluates extremophiles in African lakes, including industrial biotechnology applications. The book highlights challenges facing microbial ecology in African lakes, as well as the design of models for solving these problems and predicting the future of lake microbial ecosystem sustainability.

Mostafa El-Sheekh is Professor of Phycology at Tanta University, Egypt. He has nearly 35 years of experience in the research and teaching in the field of algae, microbiology and its applications. Dr. El-Sheekh served as the Dean and Vice Dean Faculty of Science, Tanta University, Egypt and Cultural counselor in Egyptian Embassy in Yemen and Uzbekistan. He holds a Ph.D. in Phycology from Tanta University and Göttingen University, Germany as Chanel System fellowship. He is the recipient of fellowships in Hungary, India, Sweden, Czech Republic, and Japan. He is the author of more than 160 papers and, 7 book chapters, and 2 books. He also serves as editorial member and reviewer for more than 60 peer reviewed journals. He has published many papers on the production of biodiesel, ethanol and hydrogen from algae. He has also 2 book chapters on biodiesel production from microalgae and one book on renewable energy. Professor Elsaied is the chair of Genetics and Genetic Engineering department at National Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries, NIOF, Egypt. Dr Elsaied has developed a patent of gene screening system for collection of microbial adaptive genes to several aquatic environmental stresses such as pollution, etc. In 2015-2018 Dr Elsaied had a project from Egypt Science and Technology Developing Fund, STDF, for mass production of genetically engineered planktons, useful for several industrial applications. Currently, Dr Elsaied is preparing the Blue Gene Bank of Egypt, BGBE, for genome analyses and germplasm preservation of Egyptian aquatic biota. Dr Elsaied has published in numerous journals,he participated in more than 50 conferences, and co-authored two books. He is among editorial board members of several journals, such as Egyptian Journal of Aquatic Research, EJAR, a member of International Society of Marine Biotechnology, International society of aquaculture.
