Overview

Mats Forsman is affiliated with the Swedish Defence Research Agency in Sweden. Their research spans multiple fields, predominantly within Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as well as Environmental Science.

The primary subfields of their work include Ecology, Molecular Biology, Microbiology, Genetics, and Infectious Diseases. Their publications cover topics such as Bacillus and Francisella bacterial research, bacteriophages and microbial interactions, microbial infections and disease research, Yersinia bacterium and plague-related research, microbial community ecology and physiology, environmental DNA in biodiversity studies, and water treatment and disinfection.

Forsman has contributed to several recent papers, including:

  • Impact of UV irradiation at full scale on bacterial communities in drinking water (2020), published in npj Clean Water
  • Reorganized Genomic Taxonomy of Francisellaceae Enables Design of Robust Environmental PCR Assays for Detection of Francisella tularensis (2021), published in Microorganisms
  • Airborne microbial biodiversity and seasonality in Northern and Southern Sweden (2020), published in PeerJ
  • Long-Term Survival of Virulent Tularemia Pathogens outside a Host in Conditions That Mimic Natural Aquatic Environments (2021), published in Applied and Environmental Microbiology
  • Rapid inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 with LED irradiation of visible spectrum wavelengths (2021), published in Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology

Frequent coauthors include Caroline Öhrman, Andreas Sjödin, David Sundell, Linda Karlsson, and Kerstin Myrtennäs, indicating ongoing collaborative research efforts.

Forsman's work has appeared in various publication venues. Notably, they have multiple publications in Microbiology Resource Announcements, Microorganisms, npj Clean Water, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), and Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research).
