Alexander von Humboldt Studies

Alexander von Humboldt Studies is a research topic within Microbiology. Science Explorer counts 1.8k research works in it since 1950. 10.5% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.

This cluster of papers covers the urgent need for microbiology literacy in society, emphasizing the contribution of microbial biotechnology to sustainable development goals and the pivotal role of microbes in prophylaxis and therapy. It also explores the influence of Alexander von Humboldt's ecological relationship with nature, the role of education in promoting microbiology literacy, and the application of microbial knowledge in various fields such as environmental science, knowledge management, and AUV control systems. Additionally, it delves into the intersection of microbiology with soil health, sustainable development, and therapeutic jurisprudence.
