We analyze microbial and plant resources using molecular biology, biology, and information science techniques, and apply them to high-functioning and highly efficient substance production.

We are developing various technologies to support primary industries, including crop functionalization, suppression of plant diseases using microorganisms, aquaculture technologies focusing on inter-species interactions, and freezing techniques utilizing bio-derived antifreeze proteins.

We are exploring and utilizing the physiological and ecological functions of microorganisms to develop technologies for the decomposition of environmental pollutants and the effective utilization of underutilized biomass resources.

We are developing new energy creation technologies such as the synthesis of artificial compounds using microorganisms and the high-efficiency optimization of underground microbial energy metabolism.

We are developing substance production technologies that contribute to health enhancement, such as the high-functionalization of biomolecules, modification of microbial metabolic functions, and production of functional components using plants.
