“I am not special.” But when studying as an undergraduate student, Shosuke met an enigmatic phrase which is “Microbes can do anything.” Thus, to break through and change his situation, he decided to bet his life on such a microbial superpower. Microbes in the natural world greatly contribute to the environmental equilibrium on earth. In fact, the total amount, diversity and unique ability of those invisible organisms have been reported to be beyond our imagination. What is occurring in the microbial world? Shosuke endeavors to understand it through their enzymes that give unique functions to all life. In addition to enzyme functions, he will unveil mechanisms by which microbes deliver enzymes to the target at the molecular, supramolecular, and cellular levels. In the Hakubi project, he hopes to uncover a new microbial world!
