The fields of study he is best known for:

• Gene
• DNA
• Enzyme

Leiv Sigve Håvarstein focuses on Bacteriocin, Biochemistry, Peptide sequence, Amino acid and Genetics. His study in Bacteriocin is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Open reading frame, Peptide and Lactic acid. His Biochemistry research includes themes of Lantibiotics, Microbiology and Bacteria.

His research investigates the connection with Microbiology and areas like Nucleic acid sequence which intersect with concerns in Antibacterial agent. Leiv Sigve Håvarstein is studying Edman degradation, which is a component of Peptide sequence. His works in Gene, DNA Transformation Competence, Transformation, Histidine kinase and Operon are all subjects of inquiry into Genetics.

His most cited work include:

• Biosynthesis of bacteriocins in lactic acid bacteria (697 citations)
• An unmodified heptadecapeptide pheromone induces competence for genetic transformation in Streptococcus pneumoniae (632 citations)
• A family of bacteriocin ABC transporters carry out proteolytic processing of their substrates concomitant with export (498 citations)

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

Leiv Sigve Håvarstein mainly investigates Microbiology, Biochemistry, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Gene and Genetics. His research in Microbiology focuses on subjects like Lysis, which are connected to Naked DNA. He regularly links together related areas like Bacteriocin in his Biochemistry studies.

His Bacteriocin research includes elements of Consensus sequence, Edman degradation and Peptide. His Streptococcus pneumoniae research focuses on Mutant and how it connects with Transcription. Leiv Sigve Håvarstein works mostly in the field of Peptide sequence, limiting it down to topics relating to Nucleic acid sequence and, in certain cases, Antibacterial agent.
