Tong Liu
I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. My research is currently focused on methanogenesis and microbiology in wetlands ecosystems. I also have following research background: 1) Methanogenesis in terms of the microbial community composition and determining environmental factors, primarily when operating with lignocellulose-rich materials. 2) Methanogenesis mechanism in rice paddies 3) Anaerobic microbial drying and oxygen stress tolerance mechanism.
