Environmental Biotechnology: Development of new biotechnology for bio-remediation, bioprevention, and biomonitoring. Chemical Biotechnology: Development of bioprocess for production of fine and commodity chemicals using solvent tolerant bacteria

email: jun@  

We focus on the interaction between microorganisms and higher plants. We also study biomass production using photosynthetic microorganism by molecular biological methods.

Studies on mechanisms of solvent tolerance in microorganisms and their applications to bioproduction. Development of biocatalysts for efficient bio-conversion by using psychrophile as a host. Bioinformatic analyses of genome information and metabolites, and their utilization for metabolic engineering.

Studies on chemotaxis of plant-associated bacteria: we aim to elucidate chemotaxis mechanism involved in plant-microbe interactions and to apply the finding to control of bacterial behavior such as plant infection and plant growth promotion.
