Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Bacteria
  • Enzyme
  • Gene

Her primary areas of study are Microbiology, Quorum sensing, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Biofilm and Biochemistry. Her research on Microbiology often connects related topics like Bacteria. When carried out as part of a general Bacteria research project, her work on Quorum Quenching is frequently linked to work in Cell signaling, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.

Her work carried out in the field of Quorum sensing brings together such families of science as Mutant and Burkholderia. The various areas that Kathrin Riedel examines in her Mutant study include Pathogen and Proteomics. Her Pseudomonas aeruginosa study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Bacterial outer membrane and Antimicrobial.

Her most cited work include:

  • Attenuation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa virulence by quorum sensing inhibitors (1089 citations)
  • Inhibition of quorum sensing in Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm bacteria by a halogenated furanone compound. (786 citations)
  • The cep quorum-sensing system of Burkholderia cepacia H111 controls biofilm formation and swarming motility (386 citations)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include Microbiology, Biochemistry, Quorum sensing, Biofilm and Bacteria. Her Microbiology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Proteome, Burkholderia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacteriaceae and Virulence. The Pseudomonas aeruginosa study combines topics in areas such as Bacterial outer membrane, Pyocyanin, Cystic fibrosis and Motility.

Kathrin Riedel has included themes like Pathogen and Regulon in her Virulence study. Her research integrates issues of Plasmid and Mutant in her study of Quorum sensing. Her study in Biofilm is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Biophysics, Gram-negative bacteria and Corpus albicans, Candida albicans.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Microbiology (62.67%)
  • Biochemistry (40.00%)
  • Quorum sensing (33.33%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2010-2019)?

  • Metaproteomics (14.67%)
  • Microbiology (62.67%)
  • Biofilm (26.67%)

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

Metaproteomics, Microbiology, Biofilm, Microorganism and Virulence are her primary areas of study. Her research in Metaproteomics intersects with topics in Potting soil, Extraction, Protein purification and Soil classification, Soil water. Her research in Microbiology focuses on subjects like Biochemistry, which are connected to Bacilli.

Kathrin Riedel has researched Biofilm in several fields, including Pathogen, Pilus and Regulon. She combines subjects such as Serine protease, Protease, Proteome and Proteases with her study of Virulence. Her Quorum sensing study introduces a deeper knowledge of Bacteria.

Between 2010 and 2019, her most popular works were:

  • Who is who in litter decomposition? Metaproteomics reveals major microbial players and their biogeochemical functions (371 citations)
  • Soil metaproteomics – Comparative evaluation of protein extraction protocols (115 citations)
  • Soil metaproteomics – Comparative evaluation of protein extraction protocols (115 citations)

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

  • Bacteria
  • Enzyme
  • Gene

Her primary scientific interests are in Metaproteomics, Chromatography, Phenol extraction, Soil test and Soil water. Her Metaproteomics research incorporates elements of Nutrient, Pulmonaria and Botany. Her Nutrient research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Microbial ecology, Environmental biotechnology and Ecosystem.

Her study explores the link between Pulmonaria and topics such as Fungal protein that cross with problems in Proteomics. The concepts of her Chromatography study are interwoven with issues in Soil classification and Potting soil. Litter and Decomposer are among the areas of Ecology where the researcher is concentrating her efforts.
