Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Fungus
  • Ecology

His primary areas of study are Botany, Endophyte, Fungi imperfecti, Microbiology and Plant use of endophytic fungi in defense. His Bioassay research extends to the thematically linked field of Botany. The Endophyte study combines topics in areas such as Mycology and Bark.

His work focuses on many connections between Fungi imperfecti and other disciplines, such as Pestalotiopsis, that overlap with his field of interest in Taxus. His Microbiology research integrates issues from Botrytis cinerea, Streptomyces and Methionine. His Muscodor albus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Terminalia, Gliocladium and Hypha.

His most cited work include:

  • Taxol from Pestalotiopsis microspora, an endophytic fungus of Taxus wallachiana. (465 citations)
  • Munumbicins, wide-spectrum antibiotics produced by Streptomyces NRRL 30562, endophytic on Kennedia nigriscans. (266 citations)
  • New endophytic isolates of Muscodor albus, a volatile-antibiotic-producing fungus. (203 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Endophyte, Microbiology, Spore and Fungus. His Botany study is mostly concerned with Fungi imperfecti, Taxus, Conidium, Hypha and Muscodor. His work carried out in the field of Endophyte brings together such families of science as Plant use of endophytic fungi in defense, Pestalotiopsis, Mycelium and Muscodor albus.

His Microbiology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and Streptomyces. His Spore research incorporates themes from Ultrastructure, Basidiomycota and Tilletia. The study incorporates disciplines such as Bioassay and Host in addition to Fungus.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (65.91%)
  • Endophyte (23.86%)
  • Microbiology (17.05%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2003-2009)?

  • Botany (65.91%)
  • Endophyte (23.86%)
  • Microbiology (17.05%)

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

Wilford M. Hess mostly deals with Botany, Endophyte, Microbiology, Streptomyces and Muscodor albus. His work on Botany is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Pseudomonas. His work deals with themes such as Rainforest, Biodiversity and Microbial ecology, which intersect with Endophyte.

His study in the fields of Fungi imperfecti and Minimum inhibitory concentration under the domain of Microbiology overlaps with other disciplines such as Edman degradation. His Streptomyces research includes themes of Leucine, Fermentation and Cryptococcus neoformans. His Muscodor albus study deals with Muscodor intersecting with Guazuma ulmifolia and Mycelium.

Between 2003 and 2009, his most popular works were:

  • New endophytic isolates of Muscodor albus, a volatile-antibiotic-producing fungus. (203 citations)
  • Coronamycins, peptide antibiotics produced by a verticillate Streptomyces sp. (MSU-2110) endophytic on Monstera sp. (171 citations)
  • Javanicin, an Antibacterial Naphthaquinone from an Endophytic Fungus of Neem, Chloridium sp. (90 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Fungus
  • Ecology

Wilford M. Hess mainly focuses on Botany, Microbiology, Endophyte, Fungus and Hypha. His study on Azadirachta is often connected to Chloridium sp. as part of broader study in Botany. Wilford M. Hess has included themes like Leucine, Streptomyces and Methionine in his Microbiology study.

His studies in Endophyte integrate themes in fields like Fungi imperfecti, Fermentation, Stachybotrys chartarum and Stachybotrys. His work on Muscodor albus and Muscodor is typically connected to Grevillea as part of general Fungus study, connecting several disciplines of science.
