Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Biochemistry

Her primary areas of study are Trichoderma reesei, Biochemistry, Cellulase, Gene and Yeast. Her work deals with themes such as Complementary DNA, Hydrophobin, Fungal protein and Microbiology, which intersect with Trichoderma reesei. Her is doing research in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Cellulose, Glycoside hydrolase, Xylose and Enzyme, both of which are found in Biochemistry.

Her studies in Cellulase integrate themes in fields like Xylanase, Gene expression and Mutant. Her research integrates issues of Molecular biology and Strain in her study of Gene. Her Yeast research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of cDNA library and Fermentation.

Her most cited work include:

  • A versatile transformation system for the cellulolytic filamentous fungus Trichoderma reesei (634 citations)
  • Transformation of trichoderma (514 citations)
  • A consensus yeast metabolic network reconstruction obtained from a community approach to systems biology (501 citations)

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

Merja Penttilä focuses on Biochemistry, Trichoderma reesei, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Yeast and Gene. Her is involved in several facets of Biochemistry study, as is seen by her studies on Enzyme, Xylose, Fermentation, Dehydrogenase and Hypocrea. Her Trichoderma reesei research is within the category of Cellulase.

Her Cellulase research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Gene expression and Filamentous fungus. The study incorporates disciplines such as Recombinant DNA, Genetically modified organism, Heterologous, Protein biosynthesis and Trichoderma in addition to Microbiology. Her Fungal protein research incorporates elements of Hydrophobin and Unfolded protein response.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (61.29%)
  • Trichoderma reesei (39.88%)
  • Saccharomyces cerevisiae (25.81%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

  • Biochemistry (61.29%)
  • Saccharomyces cerevisiae (25.81%)
  • Yeast (24.05%)

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

Merja Penttilä mostly deals with Biochemistry, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Yeast, Trichoderma reesei and Microbiology. Biochemistry is a component of her Gene, Xylose, Dehydrogenase, Enzyme and Sugar acids studies. Her Pichia stipitis study in the realm of Saccharomyces cerevisiae interacts with subjects such as Single-cell analysis.

Her study looks at the relationship between Yeast and topics such as Fermentation, which overlap with Lactic acid. Her research on Trichoderma reesei concerns the broader Cellulase. She interconnects Genetically modified organism, Protease, Protein biosynthesis, Cell biology and Fungal protein in the investigation of issues within Microbiology.

Between 2010 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Traffic Jams Reduce Hydrolytic Efficiency of Cellulase on Cellulose Surface (420 citations)
  • Screening of candidate regulators for cellulase and hemicellulase production in Trichoderma reesei and identification of a factor essential for cellulase production (138 citations)
  • Re-annotation of the CAZy genes of Trichoderma reesei and transcription in the presence of lignocellulosic substrates. (124 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Biochemistry

Her primary scientific interests are in Biochemistry, Trichoderma reesei, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Xylose and Yeast. Her research integrates issues of Gene, Glycoside hydrolase and Microbiology in her study of Trichoderma reesei. Her work in Saccharomyces cerevisiae covers topics such as Flux which are related to areas like Genome evolution.

The various areas that Merja Penttilä examines in her Xylose study include Dehydrogenase and Bioreactor. Her Yeast research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Pyruvate decarboxylase, Lactobacillus helveticus, Lactic acid fermentation and Lactate dehydrogenase. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Mode of action, Substrate and Ammonia.
