Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Amino acid

His primary areas of study are Candida albicans, Farnesol, Microbiology, Corpus albicans and Biochemistry. His work carried out in the field of Candida albicans brings together such families of science as Mutation, In vitro, Fungal protein and Yeast. His study looks at the relationship between Farnesol and topics such as Biofilm, which overlap with Farnesol metabolism.

His study focuses on the intersection of Microbiology and fields such as Dimorphic fungus with connections in the field of Aspergillus nidulans, Hypha and Cell biology. His Corpus albicans study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Quorum sensing, Extracellular, Growth medium and Farnesyl pyrophosphate. In general Biochemistry study, his work on Tyrosol, Fusel alcohol, Phenethyl alcohol and Aromatic amino acids often relates to the realm of Tryptophol, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

His most cited work include:

  • Quorum Sensing in the Dimorphic Fungus Candida albicans Is Mediated by Farnesol (740 citations)
  • Prevalence of broad-host-range lytic bacteriophages of Sphaerotilus natans, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. (230 citations)
  • Quorum sensing in dimorphic fungi: farnesol and beyond. (213 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Biochemistry, Microbiology, Candida albicans, Bacillus thuringiensis and Farnesol. He has included themes like Germ tube and Sexual dimorphism in his Biochemistry study. His work in Microbiology addresses subjects such as Sodium dodecyl sulfate, which are connected to disciplines such as Lysis.

Kenneth W. Nickerson studies Candida albicans, namely Corpus albicans. The study incorporates disciplines such as Toxin, Protein crystallization, Chromatography, Bioassay and Aedes aegypti in addition to Bacillus thuringiensis. Kenneth W. Nickerson interconnects Biofilm, Biological activity, Stereochemistry and Farnesyl pyrophosphate in the investigation of issues within Farnesol.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (45.18%)
  • Microbiology (40.96%)
  • Candida albicans (26.51%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2021)?

  • Candida albicans (26.51%)
  • Biochemistry (45.18%)
  • Microbiology (40.96%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Candida albicans, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Corpus albicans and Quorum sensing. His Candida albicans research integrates issues from Farnesol, Mutant, Fungal protein, Hyphal growth and Respiratory chain. Biochemistry is closely attributed to Germ tube in his study.

His study in the fields of Fungi imperfecti under the domain of Microbiology overlaps with other disciplines such as Chemokinesis. His studies deal with areas such as Lactoylglutathione lyase, Cytokine, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Farnesyl pyrophosphate and Lipid metabolism as well as Corpus albicans. His Quorum sensing research incorporates elements of Secretion, Phagocyte, Immune system and Dimorphic fungus.

Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A Glutathione-independent Glyoxalase of the DJ-1 Superfamily Plays an Important Role in Managing Metabolically Generated Methylglyoxal in Candida albicans (53 citations)
  • Zap1 control of cell-cell signaling in Candida albicans biofilms. (47 citations)
  • Activity and Toxicity of Farnesol towards Candida albicans Are Dependent on Growth Conditions (47 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Amino acid

Kenneth W. Nickerson mainly focuses on Candida albicans, Biochemistry, Corpus albicans, Farnesol and Microbiology. His Candida albicans research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Fungal protein and Yeast. Kenneth W. Nickerson combines subjects such as Probiotic and Food microbiology with his study of Yeast.

His studies in Corpus albicans integrate themes in fields like Lyase, Catalytic triad, Glutathione and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. His work deals with themes such as Zymosan, Macrophage, Cytokine and Tumor necrosis factor alpha, which intersect with Farnesol. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Biological activity and Cell growth.
