METHOD FOR EVALUATING ANTIMICROBIAL PERFORMANCE OF PHOTOCATALYTIC MATERIAL FOR GENERAL ENVIRONMENTAL MICROORGANISM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for simply, rapidly and quantitatively evaluating antimicrobial performance.;SOLUTION: The method for evaluating antimicrobial performance comprises using a liquid containing bacterium, such as, Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, having pigment synthetic ability and a liquid containing further an antimicrobial material, such as, a photocatalyst in the liquid, and using changes in pigment, in both the liquids as an index for evaluating antimicrobial performance.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
