Harnessing the amazing powers of tiny microorganisms in our daily lives

【Supercategory：1. Fiber/polymer materials Category：1.1 Natural fiber/polymer materials Subcategory：1.1.3 Others】

I am carrying out research to discover useful microorganisms from among the countless number that exist in nature and put them to use solving problems involving food, the environment, and energy. For instance, my lab is working on microbial chitin-degrading enzymes to effectively utilize chitin, an abundant biomass resource, and on molecular breeding of mushrooms to allow efficient use of their enzymes and metabolites.
