2002 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Bacteria

His primary scientific interests are in Biochemistry, Pseudomonas putida, Bacteria, Gene and Operon. His research integrates issues of Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes and Pseudomonas in his study of Biochemistry. His Pseudomonas putida research includes elements of Plasmid, Comamonas testosteroni, Phenanthrene and Homology.

The various areas that Gerben J. Zylstra examines in his Plasmid study include Molecular biology, Toluene dioxygenase and Promoter. He interconnects Strain, Efflux, Solvent and Microbiology in the investigation of issues within Bacteria. His Microbiology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Taxon, Phylogenetic tree and Pyrene.

His most cited work include:

  • Toluene degradation by Pseudomonas putida F1. Nucleotide sequence of the todC1C2BADE genes and their expression in Escherichia coli. (508 citations)
  • Plasposons : Modular self-cloning minitransposon derivatives for rapid genetic analysis of gram-negative bacterial genomes (441 citations)
  • Isolation and Characterization of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon-Degrading Bacteria Associated with the Rhizosphere of Salt Marsh Plants (261 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Biochemistry, Gene, Dioxygenase, Strain and Stereochemistry. His Biochemistry research focuses on subjects like Bacteria, which are linked to Microbiology. As part of the same scientific family, Gerben J. Zylstra usually focuses on Gene, concentrating on Molecular biology and intersecting with Molecular cloning.

His Dioxygenase research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Catechol and Rhodococcus. His work deals with themes such as Hydroxylation, o-Xylene, Organic chemistry, Phenanthrene and Substrate, which intersect with Stereochemistry. His Pseudomonas putida research incorporates elements of Toluene dioxygenase and Pseudomonas.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (45.11%)
  • Gene (24.06%)
  • Dioxygenase (21.80%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2021)?

  • Biochemistry (45.11%)
  • Strain (18.80%)
  • Dioxygenase (21.80%)

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

Gerben J. Zylstra spends much of his time researching Biochemistry, Strain, Dioxygenase, Stereochemistry and Rhodococcus. In most of his Biochemistry studies, his work intersects topics such as Alkane. His studies in Strain integrate themes in fields like Genetics, Catechol, Aromatic hydrocarbon, Whole genome sequencing and Rhodococcus sp..

Gerben J. Zylstra has researched Dioxygenase in several fields, including Cleavage and Hydroxylation. His study in Rhodococcus is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Metabolite, Xylene and Alicyclic compound. His Gene research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Molecular biology, Computational biology and Bacteria.

Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The genome sequence of Desulfatibacillum alkenivorans AK-01: a blueprint for anaerobic alkane oxidation. (129 citations)
  • Biodegradation of Tetrahydrofuran and 1,4-Dioxane by Soluble Diiron Monooxygenase in Pseudonocardia sp. Strain ENV478 (38 citations)
  • Functional characterization of salicylate hydroxylase from the fungal endophyte Epichloë festucae (37 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Bacteria

Gerben J. Zylstra mainly focuses on Biochemistry, Bacteria, Strain, Genome and Alkane. His study with Bacteria involves better knowledge in Genetics. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Tetrahydrofuran, Pseudonocardia, Stereochemistry and Antisense RNA.

His Genome research incorporates elements of Plasmid, Industrial microbiology, Genus Rhodococcus, Rhodococcus and Oxidoreductase. His work focuses on many connections between Alkane and other disciplines, such as Indole test, that overlap with his field of interest in Monooxygenase. His Regulation of gene expression, Sphingomonas, Dioxygenase and Transcriptome study in the realm of Gene interacts with subjects such as Chemotaxis.
