Environments affects on the function and evolution of living organisms. At the same time living organisms are important factors that determine environments. Microbes have supported the global environments and prospered biosphere for 3.5 billion years. We are trying to understand the kernel and evolution of life through studies on environmental microbes. We are also interested in developing technologies for bioremediation and bioproduction of chemicals by understanding and utilizing special activity of microbes.
