这项研究的目的是调查微生物的区系，如真菌、酵母；细菌和放线菌，生活在红树林生态系统中，了解其生理和生态特性，并获取和收集其培养物，以保存这种遗传上独特和重要的资源。从落叶、土壤、河水等不同基质中分离出微生物，并在Iriomote岛Shiira河进行了四次采集。1996年至1998年在日本冲绳。本研究项目各研究者获得的结果总结如下：

This research was aimed to investigate floras of microbes, such as fungi, yeasts ; bacteria and actinomycetes, inhabiting mangrove ecosystems and to understand their physiological and ecological properties, and: also to obtain and collect their cultures for preserving such genetically unique and important resources. Microbes were isolated from various substrates, such as fallen leaves, soil, river water, etc., which were collected at four times collection trip to the Shiira River, Iriomote Island.
