Overview

María Jesús Martínez is affiliated with the Spanish National Research Council in Spain and has contributed extensively to the fields of biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and engineering. Their work spans various subfields, including molecular biology, biotechnology, biomedical engineering, plant science, and nutrition and dietetics.

Martínez's research frequently addresses topics such as biofuel production and bioconversion, enzyme production and characterization, enzyme catalysis and immobilization, microbial metabolites in food biotechnology, microbial metabolic engineering and bioproduction, enzyme-mediated dye degradation, and plant-microbe interactions and immunity.

The scientist has published articles in several journals, with frequent appearances in the Journal of Fungi, International Journal of Molecular Sciences, Environmental Microbiology, Antioxidants, and Bioresource Technology. Notable recent papers include:

  • Hemicellulases from Penicillium and Talaromyces for lignocellulosic biomass valorization: A review, 2020, Bioresource Technology
  • Gene family expansions and transcriptome signatures uncover fungal adaptations to wood decay, 2021, Environmental Microbiology
  • Lignin degradation and detoxification of eucalyptus wastes by on-site manufacturing fungal enzymes to enhance second-generation ethanol yield, 2020, Applied Energy
  • A glucotolerant β-glucosidase from the fungus Talaromyces amestolkiae and its conversion into a glycosynthase for glycosylation of phenolic compounds, 2020, Microbial Cell Factories
  • The architecture of a mixed fungal-bacterial biofilm is modulated by quorum-sensing signals, 2021, Environmental Microbiology

Martínez has collaborated frequently with other researchers, including Alicia Prieto, Laura I. de Eugenio, Juan A. Méndez-Líter, Jorge Barriuso, and Manuel Nieto-Domínguez. The collaboration with Alicia Prieto is the most extensive, with 22 joint works.
