We are advancing fundamental research and development to protect the environment!
This is an introduction to the Environmental Microbiology Research Institute of Kyouwa Chemical Co., Ltd. The Environmental Microbiology Research Institute aims to contribute to society through the development of scientific and technological solutions related to environmental issues, focusing on fundamental research on microorganisms that protect the environment and the development of technologies for utilizing these microorganisms. Although our institute is small in terms of facilities and the number of researchers, we are determined to achieve remarkable results, embodying the spirit of "even a tiny insect has a soul," and to play a part in solving environmental problems. We appreciate the support of all stakeholders. The decomposition of organic waste through high-temperature aerobic fermentation is a safe treatment method that does not cause pollution. We are analyzing the microbial communities responsible for this process. We have already isolated a new genus and species of thermophilic bacteria. The enzymes produced by these bacteria are also useful. Of course, we are also advancing research on the utilization of enzymes from thermophilic bacteria. To protect the environment, environmental analysis, such as water quality surveys, is essential. It is also our mission to develop more sensitive, accurate, rapid, convenient, and cost-effective analytical methods. Under joint research between industry, government, and academia, we are also investigating waste decomposition technologies utilizing the metabolic activity of thermophilic bacteria and the utilization technologies for the enzymes they produce.

basic information
【Research Content】 ○ Turning of high-temperature aerobic compost → The interior reaches 100°C, producing a thick white smoke. ○ Microbial community analysis using genetic engineering techniques → Research is being conducted not only on the decomposition of livestock and agricultural waste but also on the exploration of useful enzymes and bioactive substances from decomposing bacteria. ○ To understand thermophilic bacteria in compost, comparisons are being made with thermophiles living in hot springs and deep-sea hydrothermal vents. ○ Research is also underway to utilize high-temperature aerobic composting technology for waste treatment in the International Space Station and future lunar space bases. ○ Compost has the ability to kill pathogens and harmful bacteria such as E. coli, making research and development on disease prevention and agricultural technology improvement using compost one of the highest priorities. ○ To uncover the secrets of the excellent properties of high-temperature aerobic compost, experiments are being conducted to replicate high-temperature aerobic compost fermentation in a small device that can be brought indoors, examining how waste treatment progresses under a variety of conditions. ○ Analysis of various elements is fundamental to environmental monitoring. ○ Protein purification → Thermophilic bacterial enzymes are used in enzyme engineering due to their heat resistance. ● For more details, please contact us or refer to the catalog.

Company information
Since our founding, we have been working daily to improve water treatment technology with the theme of "restoring natural water." In the treatment of wastewater from meat processing centers, we developed the unique Kyowa-style two-stage oxidation method, establishing ourselves as pioneers in high-concentration treatment. Additionally, at the leachate treatment facility for final disposal sites, we have introduced the first desalination system in the water treatment industry and are expanding it nationwide. Furthermore, based on our additional theme of "purifying water and revitalizing the earth," we are undertaking a new business initiative focused on ultra-high-temperature aerobic fermentation treatment using YM bacteria. At the Environmental Microbiology Research Institute, we have invited the renowned researcher Dr. Tairo Oshima, who is well-known in the field of ultra-high-temperature aerobic microorganisms, to work daily on the creation of technologies and the development of new techniques using microorganisms.
