The center collects microorganisms, particularly fungi isolated from the soil of subtropical regions and oceanic islands around Japan, as a source for the discovery of new anti-infectious and bioactive compounds and studies their mycology and metabolic products.
[ Isolation of fungi from subtropical oceanic islands and their taxonomy ]
Discovery of new fungi and the analysis of their metabolic products.
[ Study on the production of bioactive compounds by fungi ]
-
Study on the production of bioactive compounds by co-culturing and culturing with the exposure of fungi to light.
-
