Outline Activities
(1) Studies on lignin biosynthesis in woody plant cell walls
Lignin is the second abundant biomass on the earth. Biosynthetic mechanisms of lignin in woody plant are investigated from biochemical and molecular biological aspects.
(2)Bioremediation of organic pollutants by white-rot fugi.
Biodegradation of organic pollutants such as dioxins, PCBs, and other chlorinated compounds are investigated. The enzymes and reaction mechanisms involved in the degradation reaction are studied.
(3)Phyto-remediation
Phyto-remediation is an approach for remediating the polluted environments by using plants. Study on the potential of phyto-remediation using woody plants has been started.
