| Associate Professor Theodore Muth, Department of Biology, City University of New York, stayed at the Morikawa Laboratory for about two months with his family, and proceeded joint research on duckweed symbiotic bacteria. He started experiment every day at 8:00 am and also participated actively in the duckweed harvesting work at the HU botanic garden, which motivated students much. He also provided us with two topics in the seminars first, on infectivity of Agrobacterium tumefaciens useful for plant transformation technology and second, on microbial diversity in New York City, a city with most active human activity in the world. Both topics are very useful for all of memers at the Molecular Environmental Biology Laboratory. |
