Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Organic chemistry
  • Bacteria

William Fenical mainly investigates Ecology, Stereochemistry, Bacteria, Botany and Chemical defense. His Stereochemistry research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Metabolite, Biological activity and Streptomyces. His Streptomyces study incorporates themes from Natural product and Peptide.

His work deals with themes such as Biochemistry and Microbiology, which intersect with Bacteria. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Terpene and Gorgonian. In his study, Marine invertebrates and Microorganism is strongly linked to Algae, which falls under the umbrella field of Chemical defense.

His most cited work include:

  • Salinosporamide A: a highly cytotoxic proteasome inhibitor from a novel microbial source, a marine bacterium of the new genus salinospora. (800 citations)
  • Marine Plant-Herbivore Interactions: The Ecology of Chemical Defense (602 citations)
  • Developing a new resource for drug discovery: marine actinomycete bacteria (587 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Stereochemistry, Botany, Bacteria, Biochemistry and Microbiology. William Fenical has included themes like Cytotoxic T cell, Gorgonian, Strain and Streptomyces in his Stereochemistry study. His work in Algae, Chemical defense, Terpenoid, Herbivore and Chlorophyta is related to Botany.

His research on Chemical defense concerns the broader Ecology. His study in Actinomycetales and Microorganism falls under the purview of Bacteria. Particularly relevant to Antibiotics is his body of work in Microbiology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Stereochemistry (42.83%)
  • Botany (21.50%)
  • Bacteria (14.17%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2006-2021)?

  • Stereochemistry (42.83%)
  • Biochemistry (13.84%)
  • Streptomyces (9.28%)

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

William Fenical mostly deals with Stereochemistry, Biochemistry, Streptomyces, Bacteria and Microbiology. His studies in Stereochemistry integrate themes in fields like Cytotoxic T cell, Biosynthesis, Polyketide and Strain. His Streptomyces study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Amino acid, Fermentation, Gene, Natural product and Structure–activity relationship.

His Natural product research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Combinatorial chemistry and Genomics. Bacteria is often connected to Botany in his work. A large part of his Microbiology studies is devoted to Antibiotics.

Between 2006 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Genome sequencing reveals complex secondary metabolome in the marine actinomycete Salinispora tropica (418 citations)
  • Phylogenetic diversity of gram-positive bacteria cultured from marine sediments. (270 citations)
  • A mass spectrometry–guided genome mining approach for natural product peptidogenomics (266 citations)

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

  • Organic chemistry
  • Enzyme
  • Bacteria

His scientific interests lie mostly in Biochemistry, Stereochemistry, Streptomyces, Bacteria and Salinispora arenicola. The study incorporates disciplines such as Cell culture and Actinomycetales in addition to Biochemistry. William Fenical does research in Stereochemistry, focusing on Absolute configuration specifically.

His study explores the link between Streptomyces and topics such as Peptide that cross with problems in Gene. William Fenical combines subjects such as Natural product, Antibiotics, Microbiology and Phylogenetics with his study of Bacteria. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Derivatization and Phylogenetic tree.
