Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Bacteria
  • Gene

Juergen Wiegel spends much of his time researching Bacteria, Thermophile, Biochemistry, Microbiology and Ecology. His work investigates the relationship between Bacteria and topics such as Phylogenetics that intersect with problems in Phylogenetic tree and Firmicutes. His Thermophile research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Biotechnology, Yeast extract, Anaerobic bacteria and Mesophile.

Within one scientific family, Juergen Wiegel focuses on topics pertaining to Sodium under Biochemistry, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Clostridium thermocellum, Cellulase, Polysaccharide, Cellobiose and Cellulose. The concepts of his Microbiology study are interwoven with issues in Ribosomal RNA, Pigment, 16S ribosomal RNA and Gram-positive bacteria. His research integrates issues of Microorganism, Organism, Archaea and Extreme environment in his study of Ecology.

His most cited work include:

  • Distributions of microbial activities in deep subseafloor sediments. (570 citations)
  • Microbial reductive dehalogenation of polychlorinated biphenyls (267 citations)
  • Isolation and characterization of Desulfitobacterium dehalogenans gen. nov., sp. nov., an anaerobic bacterium which reductively dechlorinates chlorophenolic compounds. (186 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Juergen Wiegel mainly focuses on Biochemistry, Thermophile, Bacteria, Microbiology and Fermentation. His Biochemistry study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Clostridium. In his work, Extremophile is strongly intertwined with Mesophile, which is a subfield of Thermophile.

Microorganism and Sediment is closely connected to Ecology in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Bacteria. His Microbiology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Anaerobic exercise, 16S ribosomal RNA, Firmicutes and Type species. Juergen Wiegel focuses mostly in the field of Fermentation, narrowing it down to topics relating to Ethanol and, in certain cases, Alcohol.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (34.46%)
  • Thermophile (29.94%)
  • Bacteria (28.25%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2007-2021)?

  • Bacteria (28.25%)
  • Biochemistry (34.46%)
  • Thermophile (29.94%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Bacteria, Biochemistry, Thermophile, Microbiology and Halophile are his primary areas of study. His Bacteria research includes elements of Ecology and Whole genome sequencing. His Ecology research incorporates themes from Microorganism, Extremophile and Crenarchaeota.

His studies deal with areas such as Xylobiose, Pyrococcus furiosus, Acetogenesis and Amylase as well as Thermophile. His Microbiology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Clostridiales, 16S ribosomal RNA, Firmicutes and Type species. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Ribosomal RNA, Yeast extract, Botany and Phylogenetic tree.

Between 2007 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Global occurrence of archaeal amoA genes in terrestrial hot springs. (160 citations)
  • Classification of 'Anaerocellum thermophilum' strain DSM 6725 as Caldicellulosiruptor bescii sp. nov (101 citations)
  • Diversity of thermophilic anaerobes. (80 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Enzyme
  • Bacteria
  • Gene

Juergen Wiegel mainly investigates Ecology, Bacteria, Archaea, Halophile and Thermophile. His Ecology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Crenarchaeota and Korarchaeota. The concepts of his Halophile study are interwoven with issues in Microorganism, Extremophile, Adaptation and Anoxic waters.

His Thermophile research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Phylogenetic tree, Microbiology, Phylogenetics, Clostridia and Antiporters. His Microbiology research includes themes of Yeast extract, Tryptone, Galactose and Cellobiose. His study with Extracellular involves better knowledge in Biochemistry.
