フェーズ Phase 2
Plant-derived secondary metabolites exhibit a wide range of biological activities; however, their natural abundance in plant tissues is generally low, and many have not yet been commercialized. We aim to establish a platform for the efficient production of these rare plant-derived compounds using microbial fermentation technologies. Cost-effective production through microorganisms is expected to expand the market for pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and functional products that utilize these compounds. Furthermore, this approach enables the production of high value-added compounds from non-edible biomass without reliance on petroleum or coal-based resources.
