Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Bacteria
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

Kasthuri Venkateswaran mainly focuses on Microbiology, Bacteria, 16S ribosomal RNA, Bacillus pumilus and Bacillaceae. His work carried out in the field of Microbiology brings together such families of science as Genetics, Phylogenetic tree, Microorganism, Microbial ecology and Sequence analysis. His research in Phylogenetic tree intersects with topics in Taxonomy and Phylogenetics.

His Microbial ecology research incorporates themes from Spacecraft and Microbial population biology. His study in 16S ribosomal RNA is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Cereus, Shewanella, DNA gyrase and Vibrionaceae. His Bacillus pumilus research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Bacillus subtilis and Spore.

His most cited work include:

  • Polyphasic taxonomy of the genus Shewanella and description of Shewanella oneidensis sp. nov (560 citations)
  • Isolation and characterization of bacteria capable of tolerating the extreme conditions of clean room environments (169 citations)
  • ATP as a biomarker of viable microorganisms in clean-room facilities (165 citations)

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

Kasthuri Venkateswaran spends much of his time researching Microbiology, Bacteria, 16S ribosomal RNA, Spacecraft and International Space Station. His research integrates issues of Microorganism, Microbial ecology, Sequence analysis and Phylogenetic tree in his study of Microbiology. His study explores the link between 16S ribosomal RNA and topics such as Vibrionaceae that cross with problems in Shewanella putrefaciens.

His Spacecraft research integrates issues from Astrobiology, Nanotechnology, Planetary protection and Bioburden. His research on International Space Station also deals with topics like

  • Genome and related Computational biology,
  • Microbiome that intertwine with fields like Ecology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Bacillus pumilus, Chromatography and Bacillus subtilis in addition to Spore.

  • Microbiology (34.55%)
  • Bacteria (16.36%)
  • 16S ribosomal RNA (16.36%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Genome (12.73%)
  • International Space Station (14.09%)
  • Microbiology (34.55%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Genome, International Space Station, Microbiology, Microbiome and Computational biology. His Genome study combines topics in areas such as Evolutionary biology, Clade and Botany. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Bacillus species, Astrobiology, Space exploration and Identification.

Kasthuri Venkateswaran works on Microbiology which deals in particular with Spore. His Microbiome research includes elements of Spaceflight, Ecology, Human spaceflight, Evolutionary selection and Metagenomics. Kasthuri Venkateswaran has included themes like Family Bacillaceae, Bacillaceae and Sphingomonas, Sphingomonas species in his Computational biology study.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • KatharoSeq Enables High-Throughput Microbiome Analysis from Low-Biomass Samples. (66 citations)
  • Characterization of the total and viable bacterial and fungal communities associated with the International Space Station surfaces (47 citations)
  • Multi-drug resistant Enterobacter bugandensis species isolated from the International Space Station and comparative genomic analyses with human pathogenic strains (38 citations)

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

  • Bacteria
  • Gene
  • DNA

His primary scientific interests are in Metagenomics, Microbiome, Microbiology, Virulence and Genome. His work deals with themes such as Ribosomal RNA, Microbial ecology, Computational biology and Genome mining, which intersect with Metagenomics. His Microbiome study also includes fields such as

  • International Space Station, Microbial composition and Astrobiology most often made with reference to Human spaceflight,
  • Space exploration, Living systems, Risk analysis and Herpes simplex virus most often made with reference to Spaceflight.

Kasthuri Venkateswaran studies Microbiology, focusing on Medical microbiology in particular. His Virulence research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Aspergillus fumigatus, Enterobacter, Multilocus sequence typing, Locus and Operon. The Genome study combines topics in areas such as Fusariosis, Fusarium and Effector.
