Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Bacteria
  • Ecology
  • Gene

Her main research concerns Rhizosphere, Temperature gradient gel electrophoresis, Botany, Bacteria and Microbiology. Her Rhizosphere research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Soil biology, Verticillium dahliae and Microbial population biology. Her research on Temperature gradient gel electrophoresis concerns the broader 16S ribosomal RNA.

Her work on Botany is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Soil microbiology. Her Bacteria study combines topics in areas such as Plasmid, Mobile genetic elements, Horizontal gene transfer, Environmental DNA and Manure. Her Microbiology research incorporates elements of Restriction fragment and Genotype, Molecular epidemiology, Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis.

Her most cited work include:

  • Plant species and soil type cooperatively shape the structure and function of microbial communities in the rhizosphere (1294 citations)
  • Analysis of Actinomycete Communities by Specific Amplification of Genes Encoding 16S rRNA and Gel-Electrophoretic Separation in Denaturing Gradients (1187 citations)
  • Bulk and rhizosphere soil bacterial communities studied by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis: plant-dependent enrichment and seasonal shifts revealed. (947 citations)

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

Kornelia Smalla focuses on Rhizosphere, Botany, Microbiology, Bacteria and Plasmid. The Rhizosphere study combines topics in areas such as Temperature gradient gel electrophoresis, 16S ribosomal RNA, Agronomy and Microbial population biology. As part of her studies on Temperature gradient gel electrophoresis, she frequently links adjacent subjects like Soil microbiology.

Kornelia Smalla interconnects Rhizobacteria and Pseudomonas in the investigation of issues within Botany. Her research investigates the link between Bacteria and topics such as Manure that cross with problems in Animal science. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Tetracycline and Escherichia coli.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Rhizosphere (32.76%)
  • Botany (27.14%)
  • Microbiology (22.49%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Rhizosphere (32.76%)
  • Bacteria (21.03%)
  • Agronomy (10.76%)

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

Her primary areas of study are Rhizosphere, Bacteria, Agronomy, Plasmid and Microbiology. Her Rhizosphere research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Actinobacteria, Horticulture, Botany and Microbial population biology. Her Botany research includes elements of Variovorax, 16S ribosomal RNA and Relative species abundance.

Her study on Temperature gradient gel electrophoresis and Microorganism is often connected to Veterinary medicine as part of broader study in Bacteria. She has researched Plasmid in several fields, including Tetracycline, Antibiotic resistance and Escherichia coli. Her work deals with themes such as Human pathogen and Genetically modified crops, which intersect with Microbiology.

Between 2015 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Plant microbial diversity is suggested as the key to future biocontrol and health trends (144 citations)
  • Critical knowledge gaps and research needs related to the environmental dimensions of antibiotic resistance. (122 citations)
  • Impact of long-term agricultural management practices on soil prokaryotic communities (41 citations)

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

  • Bacteria
  • Gene
  • Ecology

Kornelia Smalla spends much of her time researching Rhizosphere, Antibiotic resistance, Agronomy, Bacteria and Manure. Her studies in Rhizosphere integrate themes in fields like Soil microbiology, Horticulture and Microbial inoculant. Her Agronomy research includes elements of Rootstock, Soil water and Temperature gradient gel electrophoresis.

Her Temperature gradient gel electrophoresis research is included under the broader classification of 16S ribosomal RNA. The various areas that Kornelia Smalla examines in her Bacteria study include Tetracycline and Plasmid. Her Plasmid study combines topics in areas such as Microbiology and Escherichia coli.
