Description:	It is my great pleasure to introduce the Ph.D. thesis of Dr. Nishu Goyal, which has been selected as a Springer Thesis for outstanding original work. Dr. Goyal was conferred Ph.D. on 17 December 2015 by the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering of the National University of Singapore. She began her Ph.D. in July 2011, after securing an M.Tech. (Biomedical Engineering) from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, India, and gaining some valuable work experience in Strand Life Sciences Pvt Ltd., a leading bioinformatics company in Bangalore, India. For her graduate studies at NUS, she was awarded the highly prestigious President Graduate Fellowship. With interest and experience in microbiology, genomics, and informatics, she chose the area of systems biology as her Ph.D. topic under my supervision. Given the global issue of increasing CO2 emissions and a need for sustainable energy, she decided to focus on the possibility of converting carbon dioxide into a cleaner energy fuel such as methane via biochemical pathways. To this end, she conducted an exhaustive search and identified the potential for using hydrogenotrophic methanogens to convert CO2 to methane. She selected M. maripaludis, a mesophilic, gram-negative anaerobe with the ability to utilize CO2 as the sole carbon substrate for growth and methanogenesis, as the most attractive microbe.
