100/100
AI Summary (NQ-processed)
As part of NEDO's commissioned project 'Development of Bio-derived Product Production Technology to Accelerate Carbon Recycling' (hereinafter referred to as 'this project'), the National Institute of Technology and Evaluation (NITE) has developed and launched the 'Microorganism Selection Support Tool,' an integrated database that allows cross-sectional searches for microorganisms with desired characteristics from globally published major databases, based on their trait information. This marks the first time such an integrated database capable of searching for microbial species from trait information in Japanese has been developed domestically.
