Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

Her primary areas of investigation include Caldicellulosiruptor bescii, Caldicellulosiruptor, Lignocellulosic biomass, Biochemistry and Botany. Her studies link Xylan with Caldicellulosiruptor bescii. In her research on the topic of Caldicellulosiruptor, Bacteria and Genome is strongly related with Microbiology.

The Lignocellulosic biomass study which covers Cellobiose that intersects with Fermentation, Lactate dehydrogenase and Metabolic engineering. As part of her studies on Biochemistry, Janet Westpheling frequently links adjacent subjects like Streptomyces. Her Thermophile research incorporates elements of Cellulosomes and Cellulose, Cellulase.

Her most cited work include:

  • Extremely thermophilic microorganisms for biomass conversion: status and prospects. (236 citations)
  • Extremely thermophilic microorganisms for biomass conversion: status and prospects. (236 citations)
  • Efficient Degradation of Lignocellulosic Plant Biomass, without Pretreatment, by the Thermophilic Anaerobe “Anaerocellum thermophilum” DSM 6725 (185 citations)

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

Her primary areas of study are Caldicellulosiruptor bescii, Biochemistry, Caldicellulosiruptor, Genetics and Gene. She has included themes like Biomass, Lignocellulosic biomass and Cellobiose in her Caldicellulosiruptor bescii study. Her work carried out in the field of Biomass brings together such families of science as Microorganism, Biofuel, Xylan and Botany.

Her Lignocellulosic biomass research integrates issues from Cellobiose phosphorylase and Xylose. Her Caldicellulosiruptor research includes themes of Cell culture, Food science, Genome, Expression vector and Microbiology. Her Cellulase study incorporates themes from Glycosylation and Glycoside hydrolase.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Caldicellulosiruptor bescii (100.00%)
  • Biochemistry (87.50%)
  • Caldicellulosiruptor (59.82%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Caldicellulosiruptor bescii (100.00%)
  • Biochemistry (87.50%)
  • Cellulase (33.93%)

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

Janet Westpheling mainly investigates Caldicellulosiruptor bescii, Biochemistry, Cellulase, Caldicellulosiruptor and Lignocellulosic biomass. Janet Westpheling interconnects Mutant and Cellobiose in the investigation of issues within Caldicellulosiruptor bescii. Her studies in Biochemistry integrate themes in fields like Biomass and Bacteria.

As a part of the same scientific study, she usually deals with the Biomass, concentrating on Xylan and frequently concerns with Xylanase. Her Cellulase research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Glycosylation and Glycoside hydrolase. Her work in Lignocellulosic biomass tackles topics such as Heterologous expression which are related to areas like Alcohol dehydrogenase.

Between 2015 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • The Multi Domain Caldicellulosiruptor bescii CelA Cellulase Excels at the Hydrolysis of Crystalline Cellulose. (27 citations)
  • High activity CAZyme cassette for improving biomass degradation in thermophiles (23 citations)
  • Engineering the N-terminal end of CelA results in improved performance and growth of Caldicellulosiruptor bescii on crystalline cellulose (19 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • DNA

Janet Westpheling mostly deals with Caldicellulosiruptor bescii, Biochemistry, Cellulase, Biomass and Thermophile. Her Caldicellulosiruptor bescii study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Xylan and Xylanase. Her work deals with themes such as Lignocellulosic biomass, Caldicellulosiruptor, Botany and Bioproducts, which intersect with Xylanase.

Her Cellulase study combines topics in areas such as Glycosylation and Biofuel, Biotechnology. Her Thermophile study improves the overall literature in Genetics. Her studies deal with areas such as Hydrolysis and Lignin as well as Cellulose.
