| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to observe soil samples by microscopes, it is necessary to remove impurities. However, it is very difficult to separate the particles of the same size from bacterial cells. We applied dielectrophoresis technique to separate soil particles from bacterial cells. First we determined the optimal conditions to trap bacterial cells for two types of bacteria, and then we successfully separated bacterial cells from the soil slurry that was supplemented by the bacteria. We demonstrated the possibility to apply the technique for cell separation if we can improve recovery ratio.
