Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • Enzyme

His primary areas of study are Myxococcus xanthus, Genetics, Mutant, 16S ribosomal RNA and Cell biology. His Myxococcus xanthus research is mostly focused on the topic Myxococcaceae. His work investigates the relationship between Mutant and topics such as Gene product that intersect with problems in Fusion gene, Molecular biology and Protein biosynthesis.

His research integrates issues of Carotenoid and Gram-positive bacteria in his study of 16S ribosomal RNA. Cell biology is frequently linked to Biochemistry in his study. His work on Transcription, Genome evolution and Horizontal gene transfer as part of general Gene study is frequently connected to Heme binding, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

His most cited work include:

  • Intercellular Signaling During Fruiting-Body Development of Myxococcus xanthus (204 citations)
  • Geographical Distribution and Diversity of Bacteria Associated with Natural Populations of Drosophila melanogaster (180 citations)
  • Methanotroph Diversity in Landfill Soil: Isolation of Novel Type I and Type II Methanotrophs Whose Presence Was Suggested by Culture-Independent 16S Ribosomal DNA Analysis (171 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Myxococcus xanthus, Biochemistry, Mutant, Genetics and Gene. His Myxococcus xanthus study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Molecular biology, Chemotaxis and Motility, Cell biology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Cell, Multicellular organism and Cell signaling.

His research on Cell biology also deals with topics like

  • Microbiology which is related to area like 16S ribosomal RNA,
  • Bacteria that intertwine with fields like Ecology and Zoology. His Fatty acid, Amino acid, Fibril and Alcohol dehydrogenase study, which is part of a larger body of work in Biochemistry, is frequently linked to Phosphatidylethanolamine, bridging the gap between disciplines. The Mutant study which covers Extracellular that intersects with Protein subunit.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Myxococcus xanthus (71.58%)
  • Biochemistry (30.53%)
  • Mutant (29.47%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2020)?

  • Myxococcus xanthus (71.58%)
  • Multicellular organism (7.37%)
  • Mutant (29.47%)

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

Lawrence J. Shimkets mainly focuses on Myxococcus xanthus, Multicellular organism, Mutant, Cell biology and Cell. His study connects Motility and Myxococcus xanthus. His research in Multicellular organism intersects with topics in Biophysics and Self-organization.

His research investigates the connection with Mutant and areas like Ecology which intersect with concerns in Isolation and Culture independent. The Cell biology study combines topics in areas such as Protein Sorting Signals, Signal peptide and Bacteria. His Cell research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Wild type and Chemotaxis.

Between 2010 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Myxococcus xanthus induces actinorhodin overproduction and aerial mycelium formation by Streptomyces coelicolor. (61 citations)
  • Characterization of Myxococcus xanthus MazF and implications for a new point of regulation (33 citations)
  • Rhizobial galactoglucan determines the predatory pattern of Myxococcus xanthus and protects Sinorhizobium meliloti from predation (28 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • Enzyme

Lawrence J. Shimkets focuses on Myxococcus xanthus, Gene, Microbiology, Mutant and Motility. He performs multidisciplinary study in the fields of Myxococcus xanthus and Programmed cell death via his papers. His Multicellular organism study deals with Biological dispersal intersecting with Ecology.

His work carried out in the field of Alcohol dehydrogenase brings together such families of science as Phospholipase and Lipid droplet. His Axenic research integrates issues from Cell biology, Streptomyces coelicolor, Aerial mycelium formation and Hypha. His research on Adaptation concerns the broader Genetics.
