Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Bacteria
  • Ecology
  • Enzyme

Microbiology, Ecology, Microbial fuel cell, Bacteria and Temperature gradient gel electrophoresis are his primary areas of study. His Microbiology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Quorum sensing, Virulence, Food science, Aquaculture and Comamonas testosteroni. His Ecology research includes elements of Anammox, Microbial ecology and Microbial population biology.

His Microbial fuel cell research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Inorganic chemistry, Cathode, Biochemistry and Environmental engineering. His Bacteria study frequently involves adjacent topics like Sewage treatment. The various areas that Nico Boon examines in his Temperature gradient gel electrophoresis study include Wastewater, Activated sludge, Heterotroph and Actinobacteria.

His most cited work include:

  • Biofuel Cells Select for Microbial Consortia That Self-Mediate Electron Transfer (989 citations)
  • Microbial phenazine production enhances electron transfer in biofuel cells (676 citations)
  • Initial community evenness favours functionality under selective stress (676 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Microbiology, Environmental chemistry, Bacteria, Ecology and Microbial population biology. His Microbiology research incorporates themes from Food science, 16S ribosomal RNA, Biofilm, Microorganism and Virulence. Nico Boon combines subjects such as Environmental engineering, Sewage treatment, Nitrification, Methane and Biomass with his study of Environmental chemistry.

His Nitrification study incorporates themes from Wastewater, Activated sludge, Anammox, Denitrification and Pulp and paper industry. The study of Ecology is intertwined with the study of Microbial ecology in a number of ways. His research on Microbial population biology often connects related topics like Temperature gradient gel electrophoresis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Microbiology (23.49%)
  • Environmental chemistry (16.60%)
  • Bacteria (15.89%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Environmental chemistry (16.60%)
  • Microbial population biology (11.39%)
  • Bacteria (15.89%)

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

Nico Boon mostly deals with Environmental chemistry, Microbial population biology, Bacteria, Microbiology and Nitrification. His work investigates the relationship between Environmental chemistry and topics such as Autotroph that intersect with problems in Biomass. His studies in Microbial population biology integrate themes in fields like Microbial ecology and Ecosystem.

Nico Boon regularly links together related areas like Food science in his Bacteria studies. His study in Microbiology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Pathogenic bacteria and Biofilm. His Nitrification research includes themes of Denitrification and Sewage treatment.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Absolute quantification of microbial taxon abundances. (164 citations)
  • Butyrate-producing bacteria supplemented in vitro to Crohn’s disease patient microbiota increased butyrate production and enhanced intestinal epithelial barrier integrity (135 citations)
  • Flow cytometric bacterial cell counts challenge conventional heterotrophic plate counts for routine microbiological drinking water monitoring (109 citations)
