Kou-San Ju studies how bacteria and fungi make specialized chemical compounds called natural products, with a particular focus on phosphonate and phosphonic acid compounds (molecules containing carbon-phosphorus bonds used in antibiotics and herbicides). The work combines genome analysis with chemical detection methods to discover new natural products and figure out the biosynthetic gene clusters (groups of genes that work together to build these molecules) responsible for making them. This research is relevant to students interested in microbiology, genomics, and drug/agrochemical discovery.
Publication output was modest but steady from 2017-2020, dipped in 2021, then increased noticeably from 2022-2025, suggesting a growing research output in recent years.
