Kato loves bathing at natural spa. Thus we go to hot springs to get sample for evolutionary study of microbial ecology Prof. Or, the wonderful groundwater of Mt. Molecular techniques as FISH, Card-FISH and functional gene sequences are the basic techniques in our study together with fundamental SSrRNA gene analysis of community diversity. To understand ecology of Bacteria and Archaea, we need to chase their population dynamics and to know the impact of grazing and viral infection. We also go down to deep subsurface to take sample as a very large proportion of prokaryotes exist there and exert unique function actively in dark and anaerobic condition. Fuji contains a very limited number of prokaryotes. Stable isotope is another essential and very exciting tool to measure activity and to estimate microbial contribution of chemical products. Ecosystem was made as a microbial ecosystem in the ancient Earth of roughly more than 3 billion years ago under the anoxic condition of high temperature. Molecular techniques as FISH, Card-FISH and functional gene sequences are the basic techniques in our study together with fundamental SSrRNA gene analysis of community diversity. Kato loves bathing at natural spa. Our major research fields extend to; Mt. Marine no doubt gives us unsolved exciting questions about microbial ecology in particular for archaea. To understand ecology of Bacteria and Archaea, we need to chase their population dynamics and to know the impact of grazing and viral infection. Or, the wonderful groundwater of Mt. Thus, we collaborate with a few very active laboratories. Our major research fields extend to; Mt. We also go down to deep subsurface to take sample as a very large proportion of prokaryotes exist there and exert unique function actively in dark and anaerobic condition. This is another reason for going there. We found an important function to minimize nitrate is carried out nicely through denitrification in the wet part of soil made at the bottom of watershed in forest system. Ecosystem was made as a microbial ecosystem in the ancient Earth of roughly more than 3 billion years ago under the anoxic condition of high temperature. Fuji subsurface, Suruga Bay, Deep subsurface in Hokkaido, Horonobe area, Forest soil and groundwater in Kiryuu, Shiga Prefecture and Tomakomai Research Forest System in Hokkaido, Focusing on microbial denitrification with its environmental constraints and their specific function as denitirification and Methanogenesis in a greenhouse impact on marine microbes.
