Makoto Kimura

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Bacteria
• Ecology
• Botany

Makoto Kimura mostly deals with Agronomy, Paddy field, Botany, Soil water and Temperature gradient gel electrophoresis. His study in Agronomy is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Microcosm and Subsoil. His Paddy field study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Transplanting, Soil type, Gleysol, Carbon and Animal science.

His Botany research incorporates themes from Food science, Compost, Bacteria, Microbial population biology and Actinobacteria. His Soil water research includes themes of Environmental chemistry, Total organic carbon and Organic matter. His Temperature gradient gel electrophoresis research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, Bacteroidetes and Archaea.

His most cited work include:

• DGGE method for analyzing 16S rDNA of methanogenic archaeal community in paddy field soil (195 citations)
• Carbon cycling in rice field ecosystems in the context of input, decomposition and translocation of organic materials and the fates of their end products (CO2 and CH4) (184 citations)
• Contribution of plant-derived carbon to soil microbial biomass dynamics in a paddy rice microcosm (130 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Paddy field, Agronomy, Botany, Soil water and Temperature gradient gel electrophoresis. His Paddy field research incorporates elements of Fertilizer, Plough, Compost and Community structure. The study incorporates disciplines such as Soil organic matter and Methane in addition to Agronomy.

His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Microorganism, 16S ribosomal RNA, Bacteria, Oryza sativa and Gel electrophoresis. His Soil water research integrates issues from Environmental chemistry, Total organic carbon and Organic matter. He has included themes like Microcosm, Phylogenetics and Archaea in his Temperature gradient gel electrophoresis study.

He most often published in these fields:

• Paddy field (46.06%)
• Agronomy (39.76%)
• Botany (36.22%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2019)?

• Botany (36.22%)
• Paddy field (46.06%)
• Temperature gradient gel electrophoresis (15.35%)

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

His main research concerns Botany, Paddy field, Temperature gradient gel electrophoresis, Soil water and Bacteria. The various areas that Makoto Kimura examines in his Botany study include Microorganism and Stable-isotope probing. His research in Paddy field intersects with topics in Archaea and Compost.

His studies deal with areas such as Environmental chemistry, Cyanophage, Soil fertility and Microbial population biology as well as Temperature gradient gel electrophoresis. His work deals with themes such as Bacteriophage, Nutrient cycle, Aquatic ecosystem and Phylogenetics, which intersect with Soil water. His work on Root system as part of general Agronomy study is frequently connected to Block, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

Between 2009 and 2019, his most popular works were:

• Bacterial populations assimilating carbon from 13C-labeled plant residue in soil: Analysis by a DNA-SIP approach (59 citations)
• Methylomonas koyamae sp. nov., a type I methane-oxidizing bacterium from floodwater of a rice paddy field. (43 citations)
• Incorporation of plant residue–derived carbon into the microeukaryotic community in a rice field soil revealed by DNA stable‐isotope probing (38 citations)

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

• Bacteria
• Ecology
• Botany

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Paddy field, Bacteria, Methanosarcinales and Temperature gradient gel electrophoresis. His research integrates issues of Methylomonas, Rhizosphere, 16S ribosomal RNA and Stable-isotope probing in his study of Botany. The subject of his Paddy field research is within the realm of Agronomy.

His Agronomy study incorporates themes from Soil science, Gleysol, Soil texture, Methanogen and Subsoil. Makoto Kimura has researched Bacteria in several fields, including Soil biology and Colonization, Microbiology. The Temperature gradient gel electrophoresis study combines topics in areas such as DNA, Compost and Soil horizon.
