研究実績の概要 |
The project has rapidly proceeded and several key milestones have been achieved. 1. The first paper from this project has been provisionally accepted in the journal mSystems. This work began as a pilot study and thanks to the generous KAKENHI support developed into, what we hope, will be a well cited Japan/Germany collaborative study. 2. The development of a functioning 4-strain yeast mutualism system has been completed. This required the development of several new yeast strains. These strains grow by cooperating with each other. Moreover, numerous growth tests on this new system have been performed. We will use this system (and hope others will too) to study the evolution of complex cooperation dynamics. 3. We have started to draft the next paper from this work describing the 4-strain system and using it to investigate the process co-evolution. As it stands, the 4-strain system has behaved as expected and in a manner consistent with computer-based modelling. Due to this we hope that the produced work is a wide interest. This project was supported by a research intern from the UK. The student made considerable process towards the development of a related yeast system that we hope will also be published soon.

2: おおむね順調に進展している
理由
We've been lucky to have rapidly developed the novel yeast strains. This process is sometimes be more complex than initially planned but strains functions as expected.
|
今後の研究の推進方策 |
Over the next 6 months we will submit our next publication, initially, to the journal eLife. We will continue to further develop our yeast system to facilitate greater dynamic modelling.
|
次年度使用額が生じた理由 |
We had hoped that the publication that was just accepted would have been paid for in the previous year.
