Kevin Anderson's Problem Solving Experience:
- - I did pioneering work in polysaccharide degradation, including first to discover and describe a polysaccharide utilization loci (PUL) in bacteria.
- I was the first to develop a genetic transfer platform for several key anaerobic bacteria (including cellulolytic bacteria).
- I discovered and describe a novel regulatory system in some anaerobic, cellulolytic bacteria.
