Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Organic chemistry

Eiji Masai mainly focuses on Biochemistry, Sphingomonas paucimobilis, Stereochemistry, Dioxygenase and Escherichia coli. His is involved in several facets of Biochemistry study, as is seen by his studies on Plasmid, Rhodococcus, Catabolism, Gene and Sphingomonas. His research investigates the connection between Sphingomonas paucimobilis and topics such as Lignin that intersect with problems in Hydrolase and Dicarboxylic acid.

The various areas that Eiji Masai examines in his Stereochemistry study include Ether and Enzyme. His Dioxygenase study incorporates themes from Oxygenase, Oxidoreductase, Active site, Substrate and Protein structure. Eiji Masai works mostly in the field of Escherichia coli, limiting it down to concerns involving Open reading frame and, occasionally, Glutathione S-transferase.

His most cited work include:

  • Genetic and Biochemical Investigations on Bacterial Catabolic Pathways for Lignin-Derived Aromatic Compounds (324 citations)
  • Characterization of biphenyl catabolic genes of gram-positive polychlorinated biphenyl degrader Rhodococcus sp. strain RHA1. (208 citations)
  • Phthalates impact human health: Epidemiological evidences and plausible mechanism of action. (170 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Biochemistry, Gene, Enzyme, Stereochemistry and Lignin. His Biochemistry study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Sphingomonas paucimobilis. As part of the same scientific family, Eiji Masai usually focuses on Sphingomonas paucimobilis, concentrating on Sphingomonas and intersecting with Open reading frame.

Eiji Masai has included themes like Recombinant DNA and Pseudomonas in his Enzyme study. His work deals with themes such as Cleavage, Ether, Oxidoreductase, Active site and Substrate, which intersect with Stereochemistry. Eiji Masai combines subjects such as Metabolic pathway and Bacteria with his study of Lignin.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (53.61%)
  • Gene (24.74%)
  • Enzyme (21.65%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Biochemistry (53.61%)
  • Lignin (20.62%)
  • Catabolism (11.86%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Biochemistry, Lignin, Catabolism, Stereochemistry and Mutant. Eiji Masai frequently studies issues relating to Bacteria and Biochemistry. His Lignin research integrates issues from Biodegradation and Pseudomonas putida.

Eiji Masai interconnects Depolymerization, Vanillin and Aldehyde dehydrogenase in the investigation of issues within Catabolism. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Oxygenase, Cleavage, Oxidoreductase, Strain and Decarboxylation. Eiji Masai focuses mostly in the field of Mutant, narrowing it down to topics relating to Metabolite and, in certain cases, Coenzyme A.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Phthalates impact human health: Epidemiological evidences and plausible mechanism of action. (170 citations)
  • Bacterial catabolism of lignin-derived aromatics: New findings in a recent decade: Update on bacterial lignin catabolism. (87 citations)
  • A monograph on the remediation of hazardous phthalates (82 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Organic chemistry

Eiji Masai spends much of his time researching Biochemistry, Lignin, Catabolism, Stereochemistry and Sphingomonadaceae. His work in Gene, Sphingobium, Enzyme, Oxygenase and Mutant are all subfields of Biochemistry research. Eiji Masai has researched Mutant in several fields, including Plasmid and Symporter.

His work carried out in the field of Lignin brings together such families of science as Fermentation, Pseudomonas putida, Bacteria and Mineralization. His Catabolism study deals with Aldehyde dehydrogenase intersecting with Vanillin, Escherichia coli, Syringaldehyde, Vanillin dehydrogenase and Decarboxylation.
