| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Isolation and cultivation of as-yet-uncultivated microorganisms are essential for basic and applied studies of microorganisms. However, most of microbial species is still as-yet-uncultivated. In the present study, I developed new cultivation methods to efficiently isolate not-yet-cultivated microorganisms. Using the methods, some novel species of iron oxidizers and ammonia oxidizers were successfully isolated or enriched in culture from natural environments. The new cultivation methods will contribute to discover and exploit novel useful microorganisms.
