Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • DNA

His primary areas of study are Bacillus subtilis, Biochemistry, Mutant, Gene and Molecular biology. The Bacillus subtilis study combines topics in areas such as Peptide sequence, Hydrolase Gene and Cell division. His Mutant study incorporates themes from Biological activity, Penicillium urticae, Amidase and Microbiology.

His Gene study is concerned with the field of Genetics as a whole. The concepts of his Molecular biology study are interwoven with issues in Operon and Signal peptide. His work on Gene family as part of his general Genome study is frequently connected to Prophage, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.

His most cited work include:

  • The complete genome sequence of the Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis (3335 citations)
  • Essential Bacillus subtilis genes (1150 citations)
  • Peptidoglycan hydrolase LytF plays a role in cell separation with CwlF during vegetative growth of Bacillus subtilis. (114 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Bacillus subtilis, Biochemistry, Molecular biology, Gene and Mutant. His Bacillus subtilis research incorporates elements of Autolysin, Cell wall, Operon and Microbiology. His work deals with themes such as Protoplast and Bacteria, which intersect with Microbiology.

As a part of the same scientific study, Junichi Sekiguchi usually deals with the Molecular biology, concentrating on Zymography and frequently concerns with Extracellular. His research on Gene concerns the broader Genetics. In his work, Germination is strongly intertwined with Spore, which is a subfield of Mutant.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Bacillus subtilis (66.67%)
  • Biochemistry (50.67%)
  • Molecular biology (35.33%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2018)?

  • Bacillus subtilis (66.67%)
  • Biochemistry (50.67%)
  • Cell wall (18.67%)

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

Junichi Sekiguchi mostly deals with Bacillus subtilis, Biochemistry, Cell wall, Peptidoglycan and Mutant. His study on Bacillus subtilis also encompasses disciplines like

  • Molecular biology together with Lysozyme,
  • Cell morphology, which have a strong connection to ATP synthase. His study looks at the relationship between Biochemistry and topics such as Biophysics, which overlap with Protein structure, Protein–protein interaction and Protein folding.

His studies in Cell wall integrate themes in fields like Amino acid and Glutamic acid. His Mutant study incorporates themes from Fermentation and Microbiology, Spore. His work carried out in the field of Gene brings together such families of science as Host and Protein biosynthesis.

Between 2009 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • Synthetic Lethality of the lytE cwlO Genotype in Bacillus subtilis Is Caused by Lack of d,l-Endopeptidase Activity at the Lateral Cell Wall (61 citations)
  • Identification and characterization of a novel polysaccharide deacetylase C (PdaC) from Bacillus subtilis (33 citations)
  • Bacillus subtilis CwlP of the SP-{beta} prophage has two novel peptidoglycan hydrolase domains, muramidase and cross-linkage digesting DD-endopeptidase (29 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • DNA

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Biochemistry, Bacillus subtilis, Cell wall, Peptidoglycan and Glutamic acid. In his study, Lysozyme is strongly linked to Molecular biology, which falls under the umbrella field of Biochemistry. His Bacillus subtilis study combines topics in areas such as Protein structure, Peptide sequence and Escherichia coli.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Phosphofructokinase 2 and Site-directed mutagenesis in addition to Peptide sequence. His study in Cell is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Synthetic lethality, Cell growth and N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase. His study of Mutant is a part of Gene.
