Construction of useful microbes.
We design and construct useful microbes with genetic modifications. The useful microbes created will be bacteria, archaea, plant cells etc.
Recent Topics
We've found a novel bacterium producing fuels, which can be used similarly as petroleum oil. Using its genes, we are trying to produce the fuels in "eco-friendly ways.
