Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Bacteria
  • Botany
  • Gene

Jean Swings mainly focuses on Microbiology, Genetics, 16S ribosomal RNA, Botany and Bacteria. Jean Swings works on Microbiology which deals in particular with Tetracycline. As a part of the same scientific family, Jean Swings mostly works in the field of Genetics, focusing on Amplified fragment length polymorphism and, on occasion, DNA–DNA hybridization, Restriction fragment, Carnobacterium and Numerical taxonomy.

His research integrates issues of Staphylococcus delphini, Coagulase, Staphylococcus and Ribosomal RNA in his study of 16S ribosomal RNA. His Botany study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Proteobacteria, Acetobacter, Xanthomonas translucens and Ribosomal DNA. His Bacteria study combines topics in areas such as Fermentation, Silage, Biotechnology, Phenotypic trait and Community structure.

His most cited work include:

  • Report of the ad hoc committee for the re-evaluation of the species definition in bacteriology. (1417 citations)
  • Polyphasic taxonomy, a consensus approach to bacterial systematics. (1382 citations)
  • Biodiversity of Vibrios (891 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Microbiology, 16S ribosomal RNA, Bacteria, Genetics and Botany. His Microbiology study incorporates themes from Polymerase chain reaction, Amplified fragment length polymorphism, Lactobacillus and Vibrionaceae. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Vibrionaceae, Zoology is strongly linked to Vibrio.

Evolutionary biology is closely connected to Taxonomy in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of 16S ribosomal RNA. His Bacteria research includes elements of Fermentation, Biochemistry, Food science and Fatty acid. The concepts of his Botany study are interwoven with issues in Streptomyces and Xanthomonas.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Microbiology (54.57%)
  • 16S ribosomal RNA (30.12%)
  • Bacteria (27.65%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2005-2020)?

  • Microbiology (54.57%)
  • 16S ribosomal RNA (30.12%)
  • Bacteria (27.65%)

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

Jean Swings mostly deals with Microbiology, 16S ribosomal RNA, Bacteria, Taxonomy and Genetics. His work carried out in the field of Microbiology brings together such families of science as Probiotic, Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, Amplified fragment length polymorphism and Genotype. His 16S ribosomal RNA research incorporates elements of Ribosomal RNA, Phylogenetics, Botany and Phylogenetic tree.

Jean Swings focuses mostly in the field of Bacteria, narrowing it down to topics relating to Debaryomyces hansenii and, in certain cases, Staphylococcus saprophyticus and Microbacterium gubbeenense. The study incorporates disciplines such as Evolutionary biology and Genus in addition to Taxonomy. His research in Zoology intersects with topics in Species diversity and Vibrio.

Between 2005 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Introduction to the Proteobacteria (277 citations)
  • Identification of lactobacilli by pheS and rpoA gene sequence analyses (228 citations)
  • Phylogeny and identification of Pantoea species associated with plants, humans and the natural environment based on multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) (210 citations)

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

  • Bacteria
  • Gene
  • Botany

Jean Swings mainly investigates Microbiology, Bifidobacterium, 16S ribosomal RNA, Probiotic and Lactobacillus. His Microbiology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Food science, Lactococcus lactis, Pantoea eucalypti and Bacteria. Jean Swings interconnects Tetracycline and Lactulose in the investigation of issues within Bifidobacterium.

His studies deal with areas such as Ribosomal RNA, Taxonomy, Botany and Coral as well as 16S ribosomal RNA. In his research on the topic of Probiotic, Amplified fragment length polymorphism and Actinomycetaceae is strongly related with Streptococcus thermophilus. His Lactobacillus study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Salmonella enteritidis and Lactobacillus acidophilus.
