Project Overview
Clouds, which gives us rain and shade is the very important thing on the Earth. Some scientists say that coral and some other sea bacteria produce DMS, dimethyl sulfide which turns to be a seed of cloud. We focused on this interesting phenomenon. What we do is to create the E.coli which can produce DMS. In order to do so, we introduce the biosynthetic pathway of DMS into E.coli and detect the products by HPLC and DMS detector tube. Don’t you think it is fantastic if the small creature, E.coli, creates the big things, clouds? And this projects may have the possibility to answer the environmental problem.

Project Overview
The second project is magnetosome formation. Magnetosome is a specific organelle in magnetotactic bacteria. Although many researchers have focused on it for its unique feature; magnetosome detect magnetic force, they have discovered only magnetotactic bacteria to have this ability so far. So we tried to form the Magnetosome in E. coli by introducing 4 operons which has been lined up recently as the sufficient genes to make magnetosome in Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense.
