We are conducting the following research to establish wood biorefinery technology as an alternative to oil refinery, which is one of the causes of global warming.
(1) Molecular breeding of superior lignin-degrading fungi
(2) Research on imparting various fermentation abilities to hyper lignin-degrading fungi
Moreover, hyper lignin-degrading fungi have excellent ability to metabolize xenobiotic. Therefore,
(3) Bioremediation of environmental pollutants by hyper lignin-degrading fungi
