A lab studying how microorganisms live in johkasou wastewater treatment tanks and how photocatalysis kills bacteria.
AboutAbout the lab
Uncovering how microbes live and how sterilization works
The Suzuki (Tomoyuki) Lab studies what kinds of microorganisms exist in the environment and what they do.
Using johkasou (on-site wastewater treatment tanks), its main research subject, as a model for organic matter decomposition and material cycling in nature, the lab aims to advance microbial ecology and improve wastewater purification technology.
From johkasou, the lab isolates bacterial strains that require metabolites produced by other bacteria, and investigates the relationships between strains, their metabolites, and the phylogeny of the isolates.
The lab also studies photocatalytic sterilization, working to elucidate its mechanism, build new johkasou, and control fungi on the cultural properties of Nikko Toshogu Shrine.
Key terms
- Johkasou
- A device that purifies wastewater, similar to a septic tank. The lab uses it as a model for organic matter decomposition and material cycling in nature.
- Fungi
- Microorganisms that include molds.
ResearchResearch themes
Under the theme of how microbes live and how sterilization works, the lab seeks to clarify the types and activities of microorganisms in the environment. It pursues research on microorganisms in johkasou and on photocatalytic sterilization.
