Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Bacteria
  • Carbon dioxide

Walter Michaelis mostly deals with Environmental chemistry, Carbonate, Mineralogy, Anaerobic oxidation of methane and Methane. His work on Anoxic waters as part of general Environmental chemistry study is frequently linked to Seed crystal, bridging the gap between disciplines. Walter Michaelis works mostly in the field of Carbonate, limiting it down to topics relating to Methanogenesis and, in certain cases, Petroleum seep, as a part of the same area of interest.

His study looks at the intersection of Mineralogy and topics like Organic matter with Natural and Acide amine. His Anaerobic oxidation of methane research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Archaeol, Archaea and Microbial mat. His Methane research includes elements of Anaerobic bacteria and Alkane, Hydrocarbon.

His most cited work include:

  • Microbial reefs in the Black Sea fueled by anaerobic oxidation of methane (598 citations)
  • The molecularly-uncharacterized component of nonliving organic matter in natural environments (566 citations)
  • Methane formation from long-chain alkanes by anaerobic microorganisms. (533 citations)

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

Walter Michaelis mainly investigates Environmental chemistry, Methane, Oceanography, Mineralogy and Organic chemistry. His research integrates issues of Organic matter, Biodegradation, Hydrocarbon and Isotopes of carbon in his study of Environmental chemistry. His Methane study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Anaerobic bacteria and Biochemistry.

His Mineralogy study incorporates themes from Geochemistry and Hydrothermal circulation. In general Organic chemistry study, his work on Ether, Reagent and Pyrolysis often relates to the realm of Chemical decomposition, thereby connecting several areas of interest. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Microbial mat, Carbonate, Archaeol, Archaea and Methanogenesis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Environmental chemistry (33.11%)
  • Methane (14.57%)
  • Oceanography (13.91%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2006-2015)?

  • Environmental chemistry (33.11%)
  • Methane (14.57%)
  • Botany (7.95%)

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

Walter Michaelis mainly focuses on Environmental chemistry, Methane, Botany, Carbon and Oceanography. Walter Michaelis has researched Environmental chemistry in several fields, including Microorganism, Sulfate-reducing bacteria, Carbon dioxide and Isotopes of carbon. His research investigates the connection between Microorganism and topics such as Seawater that intersect with problems in Anoxic waters.

His work on Anaerobic oxidation of methane as part of general Methane research is frequently linked to Butane, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Anaerobic oxidation of methane research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Microbial mat, Archaea, Authigenic, Sulfate and Stable-isotope probing. As part of one scientific family, Walter Michaelis deals mainly with the area of Botany, narrowing it down to issues related to the Bacteria, and often Acid phosphatase and Lipase.

Between 2006 and 2015, his most popular works were:

  • Anaerobic oxidation of short-chain hydrocarbons by marine sulphate-reducing bacteria (265 citations)
  • Soil microbial community changes as a result of long-term exposure to a natural CO2 vent (122 citations)
  • Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) from cyanobacterial mats: characterisation and isolation method optimisation (68 citations)
