Microbial Breeding Engineering Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that searches for, analyzes, and engineers microbial metabolism and enzymes.
AboutAbout the lab
Searching for and deciphering microbial metabolism and enzymes.
The Microbial Breeding Engineering Lab conducts research on searching for, analyzing, and engineering novel microbial metabolism and useful enzymes and genes.
The faculty introduction lists the exploration and functional analysis of novel metabolism, and the exploration, analysis, design, and engineering of useful enzymes and genes, as the research content.
The University of Tsukuba researcher directory lists microbial production of useful substances, isonitrile metabolism, and nitrile metabolism as research topics.
This research field is part of the Applied Life Chemistry course in the College of Agro-Biological Resource Sciences.
Key terms
- metabolism
- The set of chemical reactions by which organisms take in substances and convert or break them down into other substances
- C–N bond
- A bond between a carbon atom and a nitrogen atom. The lab works on enzymes that cleave or synthesize this bond
- molecular evolution
- The process by which genes and proteins change over long periods of time
ResearchResearch themes
The lab works on searching for novel metabolism, finding useful enzymes and genes, and analyzing and engineering them. Its targets include enzymes that cleave and synthesize C–N bonds.
*Illustrative imageExploration and functional analysis of novel metabolism
The lab searches for novel metabolism and analyzes its physiological functions. Its publications include a paper investigating how soil microorganisms degrade curcumin and piperine.
*Illustrative imageExploration and engineering of useful enzymes and genes
The lab works on metabolic engineering and on the exploration, analysis, design, and engineering of useful enzymes and genes. Its publications include a paper on the discovery of enzymes involved in the degradation of curcumin and piperine.
*Illustrative imageEnzymes that cleave and synthesize C–N bonds
The lab studies the molecular functions and molecular evolution of enzymes that cleave and synthesize C–N bonds. Its research topics include nitrile and isonitrile metabolism.
