NOVEL MICROORGANISM CAPABLE OF PRODUCING OXIDE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/074586
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A microorganism which belongs to the genus Leptothrix and is capable of producing iron oxide that has a ferrihydrite or lepidocrocite structure and has a form of aggregates of ferrihydrite nanoparticles or lepidocrocite nanoparticle; a bacterium which can produce iron oxide that has a ferrihydrite or lepidocrocite structure and has a form of aggregates of ferrihydrite nanoparticles or lepidocrocite nanoparticles; a culture medium for use in the screening for a bacterium capable of producing a metal oxide; a method for screening for a bacterium capable of producing a metal oxide; a culture medium for culturing a bacterium capable of producing a metal oxide; a method for culturing a bacterium capable of producing a metal oxide; a process for producing a metal oxide; and iron oxide.
