Overview

Claudine Elmerich is affiliated with the Institut Pasteur in France and focuses research on environmental science and biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology. Their work encompasses several subfields including environmental engineering, molecular biology, ecology, plant science, and biomedical engineering.

The scientist's main topics of study include microbial fuel cells and bioremediation, microbial community ecology and physiology, bacterial biofilms and quorum sensing, legume nitrogen-fixing symbiosis, biofuel production and bioconversion, and microbial metabolic engineering and bioproduction.

Elmerich's recent published papers feature multiple studies on nitrogen fixation, biofilm formation, and microbial regulation mechanisms. These include:

  • A regulatory network involving Rpo, Gac and Rsm for nitrogen-fixing biofilm formation by Pseudomonas stutzeri (2021, npj Biofilms and Microbiomes)
  • Regulation of hierarchical carbon substrate utilization, nitrogen fixation, and root colonization by the Hfq/Crc/CrcZY genes in Pseudomonas stutzeri (2022, iScience)
  • Regulation of Hierarchical Carbon Substrate Utilization, Nitrogen Fixation and Root Colonization by the Hfq/Crc/Crczy Genes in Pseudomonas Stutzeri A1501 (2022, SSRN Electronic Journal)

Frequent co-authors collaborating with Elmerich include Liguo Shang, Yongliang Yan, Yuhua Zhan, Xiubin Ke, and Yahui Shao. Their work has been published in journals such as npj Biofilms and Microbiomes, iScience, and SSRN Electronic Journal.
