Editorial Board

Editor in Chief (2021)

DrakeHarold L. Drake email_icon is at the University of Bayreuth in Germany. His work is focused on (a) the physiology and ecology of anaerobes, (b) invertebrate microbiology, and (c) the intermediary ecosystem metabolism of environments (e.g., peatlands) that emit the greenhouse gases methane and nitrous oxide.
