Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Amino acid

Michael J. Adang mainly investigates Bacillus thuringiensis, Toxin, Molecular biology, Biochemistry and Brush border. His studies in Bacillus thuringiensis integrate themes in fields like Gene, Transgene, Botany, Manduca sexta and Binding site. His Toxin research is included under the broader classification of Microbiology.

His work in Molecular biology addresses issues such as Nucleic acid sequence, which are connected to fields such as Protein primary structure and Plasmid. His study in the field of Binding protein also crosses realms of Aminopeptidase. His Brush border study incorporates themes from Lectin and Heliothis virescens.

His most cited work include:

  • Synthetic insecticidal crystal protein gene (483 citations)
  • Glycolipids as receptors for Bacillus thuringiensis crystal toxin. (298 citations)
  • A mixture of Manduca sexta aminopeptidase and phosphatase enhances Bacillus thuringiensis insecticidal CryIA(c) toxin binding and 86Rb(+)-K+ efflux in vitro. (272 citations)

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

Michael J. Adang spends much of his time researching Bacillus thuringiensis, Biochemistry, Toxin, Molecular biology and Microbiology. His research integrates issues of Cadherin, Botany, Heliothis virescens, Cry1Ac and Midgut in his study of Bacillus thuringiensis. His work on Brush border, Binding protein and Binding site as part of general Biochemistry research is frequently linked to Aminopeptidase, bridging the gap between disciplines.

Michael J. Adang interconnects Mode of action and Peptide in the investigation of issues within Toxin. His research investigates the connection with Molecular biology and areas like Complementary DNA which intersect with concerns in Peptide sequence. He works mostly in the field of Microbiology, limiting it down to topics relating to Aedes aegypti and, in certain cases, Aedes, as a part of the same area of interest.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Bacillus thuringiensis (66.37%)
  • Biochemistry (45.13%)
  • Toxin (38.05%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2020)?

  • Microbiology (30.09%)
  • Bacillus thuringiensis (66.37%)
  • Toxin (38.05%)

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

Microbiology, Bacillus thuringiensis, Toxin, Midgut and Cadherin are his primary areas of study. His study in Microbiology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Mythimna separata, Lepidoptera genitalia, Helicoverpa armigera and Mosquito larvae. His work carried out in the field of Bacillus thuringiensis brings together such families of science as Ostrinia, Biochemistry and Ligand binding assay.

His research combines Mode of action and Toxin. His research in Midgut tackles topics such as Receptor which are related to areas like Molecular biology and Brush border. His Cadherin research includes elements of Proteases, Alphitobius diaperinus and Manduca, Manduca sexta.

Between 2011 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Diversity of bacillus thuringiensis crystal toxins and mechanism of action (162 citations)
  • Larval midgut modifications associated with Bti resistance in the yellow fever mosquito using proteomic and transcriptomic approaches (51 citations)
  • Bt toxin modification for enhanced efficacy. (41 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Amino acid

His primary scientific interests are in Bacillus thuringiensis, Microbiology, Toxin, Midgut and Cadherin. His Bacillus thuringiensis research integrates issues from Mode of action, Biochemistry, Mealworm, Manduca and Aedes aegypti. His Mealworm study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Receptor and RNA silencing.

The various areas that Michael J. Adang examines in his Aedes aegypti study include DNA microarray, Transcriptome, Gene and Pathogen. He has included themes like Virulence factor and Peptide in his Microbiology study. His work on Phage display is typically connected to Cytolysis as part of general Peptide study, connecting several disciplines of science.
