Kobe University bioengineer KOH Sangho was the first to be able to characterize the speed and mechanism of a molecular machine derived from fungi that allows to separate wood into its components. Having achieved this feat through the development of a new test feed, this characterization is key to improving the molecular machine and to applying it industrially to turn wood into a plethora of useful chemicals.
