METHOD FOR SEPARATING AND CULTURING IRON-OXIDIZING BACTERIUM

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for efficiently culturing an iron-oxidizing bacterium in a solid culture medium by efficiently proliferating the iron-oxidizing bacterium in the solid culture medium and to provide a method for facilitating the formation of a colony of the iron-oxidizing bacterium and separating the iron-oxidizing bacterium as the colony in a step of separating the iron-oxidizing bacterium. PSOLUTION: The method for culturing the bacterium is to efficiently culture the iron-oxidizing bacterium in the solid culture medium. The method is carried out as follows. Pre-culture is conducted for 2-3.5 days and a culture solution containing the iron-oxidizing bacterium transferred to the logarithmic growth phase is inoculated into the solid culture medium in the method for culturing the iron-oxidizing bacterium.
