| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The genus Mrakia is a dominant fungus around Syowa Station, East Antarctica. I chose this genus to study how this genus survives under the sub-zero temperature condition using by whole genome and metabolome analysis. Consequently, I found that Mrakia blollopis consumes large amounts of energy during growth to help it cope with cold stress as it grows in subzero temperatures.
I also checked the secondary metabolite having Antarctic fungi. It has become clear that Antarctic fungi are secreting many substances that are the raw materials of pharmaceuticals. From the above, it has become clear that Antarctic fungi are useful as bioprospecting source.
