What is she best known for?
The fields of study she is best known for:
Tamar Barkay spends much of her time researching Mercury, Environmental chemistry, Bacteria, Ecology and Methylmercury.
The various areas that she examines in her Mercury study include Botany, Inorganic chemistry, Sediment, Shewanella oneidensis and Chloride.
The concepts of her Environmental chemistry study are interwoven with issues in Rayleigh fractionation, Fractionation, Bioassay and MERCURE.
Her Bacteria research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Plasmid and Soil pH.
Her Methylmercury research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Biogeochemical cycle, Toxicity, Food chain and Bioaccumulation.
Her research investigates the connection with Aquatic ecosystem and areas like Adaptation which intersect with concerns in Microorganism.
Her most cited work include:
- Bacterial mercury resistance from atoms to ecosystems (734 citations)
- The extraction and purification of microbial DNA from sediments (549 citations)
- Bioluminescent sensors for detection of bioavailable Hg(II) in the environment. (312 citations)
What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?
Environmental chemistry, Mercury, Bacteria, Ecology and Methylmercury are her primary areas of study.
Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Contamination, Volatilisation, Anaerobic bacteria and Microbial population biology.
The MERCURE research she does as part of her general Mercury study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Bioavailability, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.
The Bacteria study combines topics in areas such as Genetic transfer, Biochemistry, Gene and Microbiology.
Her Microbiology research incorporates themes from Plasmid and Firmicutes.
Tamar Barkay works mostly in the field of Methylmercury, limiting it down to topics relating to Sulfate and, in certain cases, Sediment, as a part of the same area of interest.
She most often published in these fields:
- Environmental chemistry (48.72%)
- Mercury (47.44%)
- Bacteria (33.33%)
What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2010-2020)?
- Mercury (47.44%)
- Environmental chemistry (48.72%)
- Methylmercury (21.79%)
In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:
Tamar Barkay mainly investigates Mercury, Environmental chemistry, Methylmercury, Bacteria and Ecology.
Her studies in Mercury integrate themes in fields like Microorganism, Biochemistry, Pollutant and Firmicutes.
Her work carried out in the field of Environmental chemistry brings together such families of science as Fractionation, Anaerobic bacteria and Bioremediation.
Her Methylmercury research integrates issues from Sediment, Methanogen, Sulfate and Bioaccumulation.
Her Bacteria research incorporates elements of Food science, Iron oxide, Microbiology and Metagenomics.
Her work on Arctic, Biota, Biogeochemistry and Permafrost as part of general Ecology research is frequently linked to Polar, bridging the gap between disciplines.
Between 2010 and 2020, her most popular works were:
- Methanogens: Principal Methylators of Mercury in Lake Periphyton (217 citations)
- Contribution of coexisting sulfate and iron reducing bacteria to methylmercury production in freshwater river sediments. (116 citations)
- The mercury resistance operon: from an origin in a geothermal environment to an efficient detoxification machine (107 citations)
