Nutrient Metabolisms and Bioremediation by Soil Microorganisms

现代农业中大量使用的化肥和农药对自然环境和生态系统造成了破坏，对农产品造成了严重的污染。因此，开发与自然生态系统相协调的可持续实用农业技术和利用土壤微生物的生物修复技术备受关注。本研究的目的是，在实际从事这些问题研究的日本和英国土壤微生物学家的合作下，综合分析土壤中微生物生物量在养分循环和常用技术的生物修复中所起的作用，并提出可持续农业系统的具体建议。因此，日本和英国的微生物学家将访问各自的国家，交换信息和技术标准化。

The fertilizer and agricultural chemicals opulently used in the modern agriculture have destroyed the natural environmental and the ecosystem and the contaminated agricultural products, to pose serious problems. So, the development of sustainable practicable agricultural techniques harmonious with the natural ecosystem, and the bioremediation technique using soil microorganisms attract attention.The objective of the present research is to comprehensively analyze the roles played by microbial biomass in soils for nutrient circulation and bioremediation by common techniques under cooperation between Japanese and English soil microbiologists practically engaged in studying these problems, and to present concrete proposals for sustainable agricultural system. Therefore, Japanese and English microbiologists will visit the respective nations each other for exchanging information and technical standardization.
