Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Bacteria
  • Gene
  • Botany

Nitrogen fixation, Botany, Diazotroph, Herbaspirillum seropedicae and Herbaspirillum are his primary areas of study. The various areas that he examines in his Nitrogen fixation study include Endophyte and Inoculation, Microbial inoculant. His Botany research includes elements of Quorum sensing, Rhizosphere, 16S ribosomal RNA and Burkholderia.

In his work, Xylem and Oryza sativa is strongly intertwined with Rhizobacteria, which is a subfield of Herbaspirillum seropedicae. His work investigates the relationship between Herbaspirillum and topics such as Herbaspirillum rubrisubalbicans that intersect with problems in Herbaceous plant and Soil biology. His study in Bacteria is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Colonization, Microbiology and Biotechnology.

His most cited work include:

  • Characterization of Herbaspirillum seropedicae gen. nov., sp. nov., a root-associated nitrogen-fixing bacterium. (419 citations)
  • Infection of sugar cane by the nitrogen-fixing bacterium Acetobacter diazotrophicus (259 citations)
