Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Bacteria
  • Ecology
  • DNA

Wen Tso Liu focuses on Microbiology, Biochemistry, Enhanced biological phosphorus removal, Microbial population biology and Proteobacteria. His research in Microbiology intersects with topics in Methanogen, Bacteria and Membrane. He has researched Biochemistry in several fields, including Polyphosphate-accumulating organisms, Activated sludge and Environmental biotechnology.

Wen Tso Liu interconnects Library, Ecology, Planctomycetes, Pyrosequencing and Acidobacteria in the investigation of issues within Microbial population biology. His Proteobacteria research incorporates elements of Methanosaeta, Temperature gradient gel electrophoresis, Ribosomal RNA, Ribosomal DNA and Gel electrophoresis. His Ribosomal DNA research incorporates themes from Restriction fragment, Community Fingerprinting, DNA sequencer and Restriction enzyme.

His most cited work include:

  • Characterization of microbial diversity by determining terminal restriction fragment length polymorphisms of genes encoding 16S rRNA. (2060 citations)
  • Insights into the phylogeny and coding potential of microbial dark matter (1378 citations)
  • Minimum information about a single amplified genome (MISAG) and a metagenome-assembled genome (MIMAG) of bacteria and archaea (512 citations)

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

Wen Tso Liu mainly focuses on Microbiology, Microbial population biology, Metagenomics, Bacteria and Ecology. His study in Microbiology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Food science, Proteobacteria, 16S ribosomal RNA, Biofilm and Enhanced biological phosphorus removal. His Food science research focuses on Activated sludge and how it connects with Actinobacteria.

As a part of the same scientific study, Wen Tso Liu usually deals with the 16S ribosomal RNA, concentrating on Ribosomal RNA and frequently concerns with Molecular biology. His research on Microbial population biology also deals with topics like

  • Temperature gradient gel electrophoresis together with Ribosomal DNA,
  • Environmental engineering which intersects with area such as Water quality. The Metagenomics study combines topics in areas such as Phylum, Genome, Genomics and Microbial ecology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Microbiology (36.11%)
  • Microbial population biology (24.21%)
  • Metagenomics (14.68%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Metagenomics (14.68%)
  • Ecology (15.08%)
  • Microbial population biology (24.21%)

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

Wen Tso Liu mainly investigates Metagenomics, Ecology, Microbial population biology, Microbial ecology and Biofilm. Metagenomics is a primary field of his research addressed under Genetics. The concepts of his Microbial population biology study are interwoven with issues in Anaerobic digestion, Environmental engineering, Effluent and Bacteroidetes.

His Biofilm research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Environmental chemistry and Water treatment. His studies in Bacteria integrate themes in fields like Amino acid and Food science. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Pelotomaculum, Biochemistry and Microbiology.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Minimum information about a single amplified genome (MISAG) and a metagenome-assembled genome (MIMAG) of bacteria and archaea (512 citations)
  • Chasing the elusive Euryarchaeota class WSA2: genomes reveal a uniquely fastidious methyl-reducing methanogen (109 citations)
  • Phylogeny and physiology of candidate phylum 'Atribacteria' (OP9/JS1) inferred from cultivation-independent genomics (106 citations)

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

  • Bacteria
  • Ecology
  • DNA

His primary scientific interests are in Metagenomics, Genome, Ecology, Environmental chemistry and Bacteria. His studies deal with areas such as Genome project, Sequence analysis, DNA, Whole genome sequencing and Phylum as well as Metagenomics. The study incorporates disciplines such as Nitrogen fixation, Archaea and Microbiology in addition to Genome.

His Microbiology research includes elements of Euryarchaeota, Multiple displacement amplification and Methanogenesis. He focuses mostly in the field of Bacteria, narrowing it down to matters related to Water treatment and, in some cases, Microbial population biology, Associated bacteria, Particle and Pyrosequencing. His Genetics research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Candidatus Accumulibacter, Enhanced biological phosphorus removal and Denitrification pathway.
