6 ★ However difficult it was to develop the necessary cultivation techniques and
technologies, Izumo did not give up. ②He teamed up with a researcher on euglena
cultivation and a supplier of functional foods, and in 2005 Izumo and his team founded a
company.

7 In their quest to develop the cultivation methods needed Izumo and his colleagues
contacted euglena researchers throughout Japan. Impressed by their enthusiasm, a
number of researchers offered their services. ③As a result, by the end of 2005 Izumo's team
had finally succeeded in producing the world's first large-scale outdoor cultivation tank of

⑧ ①The use of euglena in biotechnology is one area where the strength of Japan really
shines through. ② The country has a long history of using microorganisms and
fermentation for the production of miso, soy sauce, and sake. ③Those traditional methods
are similar in many respects, to the technologies employed to use euglena in food and in
energy production. ④Without those methods, the team would not have succeeded in
making use of euglena.

回 ①Fast forward to the present day, and they see that questions about the uses of euglena
are coming in from all over the world. ②Work on improving the incubation techniques
continues at a facility on Ishigaki Island in Okinawa.③The various types of euglena
produced there for food or biofuel products are shipped to a number of other research

10 DSome of the uses of euglena being investigated today are quite surprising. One is
the idea of flying a plane using biofuel from euglena. ③Because oil produced from euglena
is very light, there are high hopes for its use as a next-generation jet fuel. There are also
plans to make use of euglena to filter emissions from power plants that burn fossil fuels. ⑤

The euglena-cultivation system will remove CO2 from emissions while also increasing
euglena production. ❤⑥Promising experiments into such techniques have already been
started, and the jet fuel will be put into practical use in the near future.

Recently Izumo and his team decided to focus their attention on the first motivation of
the whole endeavor again: bringing the health benefits of euglena to malnourished children
in developing countries ②In Bangladesh, some people do not eat pork because of religious
restrictions, and it can sometimes be difficult for them to get enough vitamin B1 from the
food they eat. 3 For that reason, the company has set up an office in Bangladesh, and it is
working with an NGO to provide euglena-based school meals to local children. ①They
intend to observe and measure how this can improve nutrition. ⑤If everything goes well,
they will have provided one million people in Bangladesh with euglena-based lunches by the
year 2030. Izumo views the future with optimism, confidently proclaiming that the use of
euglena with Japan's fermentation methods has the power to save the Earth.
