Micorobial Genome

Molecular Biology Lab

in BOST, Kindai University

  We are working on a variety of microbes, listed below.

    (1) Obligate intracellular pathogenic bacteria

              (Rickettsia japonica and Chlamydia pneumoniae)

    (2) Acetic acid bacteria

              (Acetobacter, Gluconacetobacter species, and 20 more)

    (3) Fermentative chemical producing bacteria

              (Halomonas sp.

                 and Pseudogluconoobacter saccharoketogenes)

    (4) Brassicaceae-plant pathogen

              (Plasmodiophora brassicae​)

  On the basis of genome analyses using these microbes, we are atempting to clarify the issues below.

    (1) genome evolution of microbes,

           expecially, intracellular bacteira,

    (2) how the microbes adapt to harmful environments, 

            by luck or by system?

    (3) how to overcome the infectious deseases,

            besed on comprehension of host-paracite interaction, 

    (4) how to design the genomes

           to built better microbes for fermentation.
