Research Pursuits 【 display / non-display 】

(1) We investigates the structure and function of N-methyltransferase involved in caffeine biosynthesis. The regulation in the expression of NMT genes isolated by our laboratory and the diversity of NMT genes are examined to clarify the contribution of NMT on the secondary metabolism in plants. Moreover, we investigate the subcellular transport of caffeine into vacuole.
(2) Our laboratory investigates the biochemical pathways involved in the production of neutral lipids including hydrocarbon , the enzymes that catalyze them, and the genes that encode these enzymes. Genetic engineering of algae with such genes can result in the useful production of liids.
(3) There are a lot of useful terpenoids in limited species of algae. We investigate biosynthetic pathway of some terpenoids with anti-oxidant acticity.
(4) We investigate the environmental risk assessment of microalgae -based biofuel production system.
