Characteristics of Micro-scale Reaction environment Group
Research the characteristics of μ size cells as a natural dynamic micro-scale reaction environment. Make comparisons based on experiments of natural cells and artificial dynamic micro-scale reaction environment, aim for an understanding of the characteristics of dynamic micro-scale reaction environment from theoretical considerations, and consider cell design guidelines.
- Use a cell sorter and microscope to clarify the phenomenon of adaptation to specific environments. Measure at single-cell level to clarify flexible adaptability as a factor of probably behavior in natural dynamic micro-scale reaction environments.
- Conduct experimental evolution through artificial selection using a cell sorter and natural selection by means of increase. Use genome analysis equipment and a microarray to measure unexpected variation of the genomes of natural cells, as well as related expression changes, and clarify the evolutionary functions and robustness of natural dynamic micro-scale reaction environments.
