Welcome to Laboratory of Applied Microbiology
-Ishikawa Group-

We study Bacillus subtilis growth systems—division, replication initiation, differentiation, and transcription—and turn those insights into programmable host controls for industrial bioproduction

Overview

The Ishikawa Group advances B. subtilis from mechanism to manufacturing, coupling growth control with process engineering to deliver ultra-high-molecular-weight L-PGA and related biomaterials.

Reserch focus

Cell division & morphology control — tune autolysins and division timing to create filamentous/immobilized production strains.
Transcriptional rewiring — program genome-wide regulation for robustness and yield.
Process & materials — continuous culture, solvent-free DSP, L-PGA hydrogels/SAPs/bioplastics.
