Overview

Enrique Flores is affiliated with the Spanish National Research Council in Spain and has contributed extensively to the fields of biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology. Their research spans several subfields including molecular biology, ecology, renewable energy, sustainability, and oceanography. The work is focused on a variety of topics such as photosynthetic processes and mechanisms, microbial community ecology and physiology, algal biology and biofuel production, protist diversity and phylogeny, biocrusts and microbial ecology, marine and coastal ecosystems, and diatoms and algae research.

Flores has published in multiple venues, most frequently in bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), followed by mBio, Journal of Bacteriology, Le Rythme Journal of Music and Movement, and eLife. The research outputs include studies on cyanobacteria, circadian rhythms, and intracellular adaptations relevant to nitrogen fixation and symbiotic relationships.

Some of the recent papers authored by Enrique Flores include:

  • Adaptation to an Intracellular Lifestyle by a Nitrogen-Fixing, Heterocyst-Forming Cyanobacterial Endosymbiont of a Diatom (2022), published in Frontiers in Microbiology
  • Robust, coherent, and synchronized circadian clock-controlled oscillations along Anabaena filaments (2021), published in eLife
  • A novel septal protein of multicellular heterocystous cyanobacteria is associated with the divisome (2020), published in Molecular Microbiology
  • Predicting substrate exchange in marine diatom-heterocystous cyanobacteria symbioses (2020), published in Environmental Microbiology
  • Cross-Language Source Code Re-Use Detection Using Latent Semantic Analysis (2020), published in Archivio istituzionale della ricerca (Alma Mater Studiorum Università di Bologna)

Frequent co-authors working alongside Enrique Flores include Mercedes Nieves-Morión, Rachel A. Foster, Sergio Arévalo, Antonia Herrero, and Rinat Arbel-Goren. The extent of collaboration ranges from multiple joint publications, reflecting ongoing research partnerships.
