Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Bacteria

Elke Dittmann mainly focuses on Microcystin, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Cyanobacteria and Microcystis. The concepts of her Microcystin study are interwoven with issues in Microcystis aeruginosa, Hepatotoxin and Gene cluster, Gene, Biosynthesis. Her Microcystis aeruginosa research integrates issues from Amino acid and Enzyme complex.

Her work is dedicated to discovering how Biochemistry, Computational biology are connected with Genome mining and other disciplines. Her study focuses on the intersection of Cyanobacteria and fields such as Toxin with connections in the field of Bacteria. Elke Dittmann has included themes like Restriction fragment, Nucleic acid sequence and Restriction fragment length polymorphism in her Microcystis study.

Her most cited work include:

  • Ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptide natural products: Overview and recommendations for a universal nomenclature (1048 citations)
  • Structural organization of microcystin biosynthesis in Microcystis aeruginosa PCC7806: an integrated peptide–polyketide synthetase system (739 citations)
  • Insertional mutagenesis of a peptide synthetase gene that is responsible for hepatotoxin production in the cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa PCC 7806 (328 citations)

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

Elke Dittmann spends much of her time researching Biochemistry, Microcystin, Cyanobacteria, Microbiology and Microcystis. Her research in Biosynthesis, Peptide, Nonribosomal peptide, Gene cluster and Polyketide synthase are components of Biochemistry. Her work carried out in the field of Microcystin brings together such families of science as Microcystis aeruginosa, Hepatotoxin and Gene.

Elke Dittmann interconnects Depsipeptide, Toxin, Genome and Botany in the investigation of issues within Cyanobacteria. Her studies deal with areas such as Lectin, Intracellular and Escherichia coli as well as Microbiology. Many of her research projects under Microcystis are closely connected to Cyanothece with Cyanothece, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (44.44%)
  • Microcystin (42.59%)
  • Cyanobacteria (37.96%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Cyanobacteria (37.96%)
  • Microcystin (42.59%)
  • Biochemistry (44.44%)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Cyanobacteria, Microcystin, Biochemistry, Microcystis and Microcystis aeruginosa. Her Cyanobacteria research incorporates themes from Thioredoxin, Botany, Genome and Biosynthesis. Her work deals with themes such as Oxidative stress and RuBisCO, which intersect with Microcystin.

Her study in the field of Nonribosomal peptide, Peptide, Protease and Signal peptide is also linked to topics like Serine Proteinase Inhibitors. Her research integrates issues of TaqMan, Gene cluster, Hepatotoxin and Genotype in her study of Microcystis. She usually deals with Microcystis aeruginosa and limits it to topics linked to Microbiology and Wild type, Intracellular, Extracellular and Metabolomics.

Between 2014 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Natural Product Biosynthetic Diversity and Comparative Genomics of the Cyanobacteria (128 citations)
  • The genetics, biosynthesis and regulation of toxic specialized metabolites of cyanobacteria. (58 citations)
  • Metabolomic analysis indicates a pivotal role of the hepatotoxin microcystin in high light adaptation of Microcystis. (58 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Bacteria

Her primary scientific interests are in Cyanobacteria, Microbiology, Microcystis, Microcystin and Biosynthesis. Her Cyanobacteria study is concerned with the field of Genetics as a whole. Her Microbiology research incorporates elements of Extracellular and Microcystis aeruginosa.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Cell, Biochemistry, Colony formation, Function and Glycan in addition to Microcystis aeruginosa. Her work in Microcystin tackles topics such as Gene cluster which are related to areas like Cell biology and Mutant. Her Biosynthesis study combines topics in areas such as Marine toxin, Cylindrospermopsin, Nodularin and Microbial toxins.
