Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Biochemistry

Biochemistry, Cellulase, Cellulose, Lignin and Cell wall are his primary areas of study. His research in Cellulase intersects with topics in Proteome, Glycosyl and Polysaccharide. His research on Cellulose frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Enzyme assay.

His Lignin research integrates issues from Biomass, Hydrolysis and Food science. Cell wall is the subject of his research, which falls under Botany. Stephen R. Decker interconnects RNA and Xylose in the investigation of issues within Botany.

His most cited work include:

  • Visualizing lignin coalescence and migration through maize cell walls following thermochemical pretreatment (475 citations)
  • In planta expression of A. cellulolyticus Cel5A endocellulase reduces cell wall recalcitrance in tobacco and maize. (460 citations)
  • Deposition of Lignin Droplets Produced During Dilute Acid Pretreatment of Maize Stems Retards Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Cellulose (346 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Biochemistry, Biomass, Cellulase, Cellulose and Lignin. Enzyme, Trichoderma reesei, Hydrolysis, Glycoside hydrolase and Xylanase are among the areas of Biochemistry where Stephen R. Decker concentrates his study. His Biomass research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Biofuel, Food science and Agronomy.

His research in Cellulase tackles topics such as Hydrolase which are related to areas like Glycosyl and Cellobiose. His studies examine the connections between Cellulose and genetics, as well as such issues in Enzymatic hydrolysis, with regards to Corn stover. His research integrates issues of Xylan, Cell wall and Xylose in his study of Lignin.

Stephen R. Decker spends much of his time researching Biomass, Biochemistry, Lignin, Cellulase and Cellulose. His Biomass research includes elements of Sugar, Food science and Agronomy. The study incorporates disciplines such as Cell wall, Xylanase and Xylose in addition to Lignin.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Hemicellulose and Xylan. His Cellulase study incorporates themes from Biotechnology, Multifunctional Enzymes and Glycoside hydrolase. Stephen R. Decker has researched Cellulose in several fields, including Proteome and Bacterial cell structure.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Dramatic performance of Clostridium thermocellum explained by its wide range of cellulase modalities (73 citations)
  • Dramatic performance of Clostridium thermocellum explained by its wide range of cellulase modalities (73 citations)
  • Sugar release and growth of biofuel crops are improved by downregulation of pectin biosynthesis. (71 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Biochemistry

His scientific interests lie mostly in Biochemistry, Cellulase, Biomass, Cell wall and Cellulose. His study in Biochemistry is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Bioenergy and Lignin. His research in the fields of Glycoside hydrolase family 7, Trichoderma reesei and Clostridium thermocellum overlaps with other disciplines such as Linker.

His Biomass research incorporates elements of Commodity chemicals, Food science, Calcium, Ethanol fuel and Hydrolysis. His Cell wall research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Raman spectroscopy, Polymer, Hemicellulose, Xylan and Xylanase. His Cellulose research includes elements of Proteome and Bacterial cell structure.
