Research Interest
Research is focused on biocycle engineering. Chitin is one of the most commonly occurring compounds on earth, and has attached special material. Chitin is hydrolyzed by least three types of enzymes: endo-chitinase, exo-chitinase, and beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase. To obtain an understanding of the genetic basis for chitinase production from microorganisms, we have been studying about chitinase gene and their mechanisms of expression. We also investigating potential commercial applications of chitin and chitosan.
