Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, interactions between wood-rotting fungi and co-existing bacteria such as the movement of bacteria with fungi, the effect of co-cultivation for wood-rotting, and the chemicals which are produced by co-existing bacteria were focused. The bacterial cells were transferred with the growth of wood-rotting fungi on chip of wood, however, this phenomenon was unstable in reproducibility. Some bacterial strains improved the wood degradation by rotting fungi. It was proved that the bacteria which improve the growth of fungi produce some chemicals as signal.
