Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • Enzyme

Microbiology, Microcystin, Cyanobacteria, Genetics and Gene are his primary areas of study. Brett A. Neilan is studying Saxitoxin, which is a component of Microbiology. His studies deal with areas such as Algal bloom, Microcystis aeruginosa, Biochemistry and Microcystis as well as Microcystin.

Brett A. Neilan has researched Cyanobacteria in several fields, including Toxin and Botany. His work is dedicated to discovering how Gene, DNA are connected with Heterologous expression, Natural product, Biotechnology, Cloning and Computational biology and other disciplines. His work carried out in the field of Gene cluster brings together such families of science as Polyketide synthase, Open reading frame and Nonribosomal peptide.

His most cited work include:

  • Structural organization of microcystin biosynthesis in Microcystis aeruginosa PCC7806: an integrated peptide–polyketide synthetase system (739 citations)
  • Minimum Information about a Biosynthetic Gene cluster. (418 citations)
  • Neurotoxic Alkaloids: Saxitoxin and Its Analogs (416 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary scientific interests are in Cyanobacteria, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Gene and Botany. His Cyanobacteria research incorporates themes from Ecology and Phylogenetic tree. The concepts of his Microbiology study are interwoven with issues in Algal bloom and Bacteria.

His Gene research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Molecular biology and Natural product. His Botany research focuses on 16S ribosomal RNA and how it connects with Ribosomal RNA. Brett A. Neilan interconnects Microcystis aeruginosa, Hepatotoxin and Microcystis in the investigation of issues within Microcystin.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cyanobacteria (31.37%)
  • Biochemistry (29.76%)
  • Microbiology (25.47%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Biochemistry (29.76%)
  • Cyanobacteria (31.37%)
  • Gene (20.91%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of investigation include Biochemistry, Cyanobacteria, Gene, Gene cluster and Saxitoxin. His research brings together the fields of Microcystin and Biochemistry. Brett A. Neilan combines subjects such as Photosynthesis, Botany, Seedling, Phylogenetics and Ecosystem with his study of Cyanobacteria.

His study on Gene is covered under Genetics. His Saxitoxin research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Shellfish poisoning and Scytonema. His research investigates the link between Microbiology and topics such as Microcystis aeruginosa that cross with problems in Hepatotoxin and Microcystis.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Understanding the winning strategies used by the bloom-forming cyanobacterium Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii (95 citations)
  • Microbial communities reflect temporal changes in cyanobacterial composition in a shallow ephemeral freshwater lake. (95 citations)
  • Unravelling core microbial metabolisms in the hypersaline microbial mats of Shark Bay using high-throughput metagenomics. (74 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • Enzyme

Brett A. Neilan focuses on Cyanobacteria, Ecology, Ecosystem, Microbiology and Saxitoxin. The study incorporates disciplines such as Botany and Plankton in addition to Cyanobacteria. His Botany study combines topics in areas such as Nostoc and Biodiversity.

The Nutrient research Brett A. Neilan does as part of his general Ecology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Ecosystem health, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. He has included themes like Escherichia coli, Heterologous, Heterologous expression and Microcystin in his Microbiology study. His Genetics study which covers Shellfish poisoning that intersects with Scytonema, Gene cluster and Gene.
