■ About research content
In this study, we discovered the extracellular production of succinic acid by Euglena
Previously, extracellular succinic acid production was unknown for Euglena Euglena under bright / aerobic conditions (high oxygen concentration) at room temperature and then shifting to dark / anaerobic conditions (low oxygen concentration), Euglena became dark.・ It was clarified that succinic acid is released extracellularly under anaerobic conditions. Succinic acid is a material that has been attracting attention in recent years as a raw material for bioplastics, and is expected to be socially implemented as a useful raw material for the chemical industry in the future.
