What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Microbial ecology, Biochemistry, Thermophile and Botany.
Don A. Cowan has included themes like Microbial population biology and Hypolith in his Ecology study.
His Microbial ecology research incorporates themes from Edaphic, Desertification, Microbial biodiversity, Genetic diversity and Metagenomics.
His work on Enzyme, Membrane, Small molecule and RNA Stability as part of general Biochemistry study is frequently connected to Instability, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.
His Thermophile research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Proteases, Ribosomal RNA, Industrial enzymes, Physical stability and Gene deletion.
His Botany study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Biodiversity, Species diversity, Soil microbiology and Actinobacteria.
His most cited work include:
- Review and re-analysis of domain-specific 16S primers (1446 citations)
