TAJIMA TAKAHISA: Associate Professor

Affiliation	Graduate School of Integrated Sciences for Life
Discipline	Biotechnology
Academic Degrees	Hiroshima University　Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering Hiroshima University　Master of Engineering
Research Fields	Engineering; Process / Chemical engineering; Biofunction / Bioprocess Agricultural sciences; Agricultural chemistry; Applied microbiology
Research Keywords	Bioconversion, Simple Biocatalyst, Psychrophile
Comments	I am interested in biological conversion using various kinds of enzymes. We have developed psychrophile-based simple biocatalysts (PSCats) to conduct efficient conversion processes. PSCats can produce the various compounds with high yields only by their biosynthetic thermostable enzymes, which are heterologously expressed in psychrophilic cells whose psychrophilic metabolism is suppressed by heat treatment.
