We aim to develop technologies for exploring unknown microorganisms and microbial communities, with a particular focus on identifying those that confer beneficial traits to plants, such as growth promotion and disease suppression. Through elucidating the functions of the cultivated microbes and the interactions among them, we seek to develop biostimulant and biopesticide.
