Excursion

September 5th (Fri), special lecture about developping story of "Ieyasu" beer (language; Japanese) and soil sampling tour

It is a well-known story that Dr. Satoshi Omura, winner of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2015, isolated the actinomycete Streptomyces avermectinius from the soil of a golf course in Ito City, Shizuoka Prefecture.
In honor of this, we will hold a soil sampling tour at this conference to isolate new actinomycetes. There is still a possibility that useful actinomycetes are in the soil of Shizuoka, so let's take this opportunity to go looking for them together. For details and to apply, please visit the website.
Participation is limited to the first 50 people, so we hope you will join us.

participation fee 3,000 yen.
