Overview

Max Teplitski is affiliated with the University of Florida in the United States and focuses their research primarily on areas intersecting agricultural and biological sciences as well as biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology.

Their work extensively covers topics involving postharvest quality and shelf life management, marine sponges and natural products, seed and plant biochemistry, insect behavior and control techniques, Listeria monocytogenes in food safety, phytoplasmas and hemiptera pathogens, and agronomic studies on cocoa and sweet potato.

The subfields of study associated with their research include plant science, biotechnology, molecular biology, food science, and pharmacology.

Max Teplitski has published multiple papers, notable among them are:

  • "Microbiological food safety considerations in shelf-life extension of fresh fruits and vegetables," 2023, Current Opinion in Biotechnology
  • "Assessment of unconventional antimicrobial compounds for the control of 'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus', the causative agent of citrus greening disease," 2020, Scientific Reports
  • "Fungal Epithiodiketopiperazines Carrying α,β-Polysulfide Bridges from Penicillium steckii YE, and Their Chemical Interconversion," 2020, ChemBioChem
  • "Cryptic Diversity of Black Band Disease Cyanobacteria in Siderastrea siderea Corals Revealed by Chemical Ecology and Comparative Genome-Resolved Metagenomics," 2023, Marine Drugs
  • "Bio-based solutions for reducing loss and waste of fresh fruits and vegetables: an industry perspective," 2023, Current Opinion in Biotechnology
