Hendrik Schaefer

Prof Hendrik Schäfer (HS) is an environmental microbiologist at the University of Warwick. He has expertise in analysis of microbial communities and the characterisation of trace gas degrading bacteria. Recent research has focused on identifying the molecular basis of metabolism of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and methanethiol, microorganisms driving dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) reduction in anoxic sediments and trace degradation in the phyllosphere of plant, showing that the tree phyllosphere is a habitat for diverse carbon monoxide (CO) degrading bacteria. He has published >50 papers (h-index: 31) ResearcherID OrcID
