Norihiko Misawa mostly deals with Carotenoid, Biochemistry, Escherichia coli, Gene and Bacteria. Norihiko Misawa combines subjects such as Metabolic engineering and Terpenoid with his study of Carotenoid. His research on Biochemistry often connects related topics like Carotene.

Norihiko Misawa has researched Escherichia coli in several fields, including Stereochemistry and Recombinant DNA. His research in Gene intersects with topics in Ipomoea and Enzyme. His Bacteria research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Feces and Flora.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Construction of transplastomic lettuce (Lactuca sativa) dominantly producing astaxanthin fatty acid esters and detailed chemical analysis of generated carotenoids. (43 citations)
  • New and Rare Carotenoids Isolated from Marine Bacteria and Their Antioxidant Activities (35 citations)
  • Regio- and stereospecific hydroxylation of various steroids at the 16α position of the D ring by the Streptomyces griseus cytochrome P450 CYP154C3. (30 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Bacteria

His main research concerns Carotenoid, Botany, Biochemistry, Astaxanthin and Zeaxanthin. His Carotenoid research incorporates elements of Marine bacteriophage, Bacteria, Orange and Metabolic engineering. His Botany research includes elements of Complementary DNA, Gene cluster and Terpene.

His Biochemistry study frequently involves adjacent topics like Streptomyces griseus. His work on Echinenone as part of general Astaxanthin study is frequently linked to Nicotiana, bridging the gap between disciplines. His research in Zeaxanthin focuses on subjects like Marchantia polymorpha, which are connected to Cyclase, Lycopene and Expressed sequence tag.
