In the laboratory of microbiology, our research objective is the elucidation of the "life phenomenon" of a microbe, and search for solutions of "life, food, and environmental problems" which form the main subjects of the 21st century.

• Use of Aspergillus oryzae as a protein factory
• Development of plant biomass utilizing techniques in Aspergillus oryzae
• Analysis of the nuclear distribution mechanism in Aspergillus oryzae
• Analysis of the protein transport mechanism in Aspergillus oryzae
• Molecular genetic analysis of vacuole formation in Aspergillus oryzae
• Genetic-biochemical analysis of the RNaseT1 expression sensitive strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
