| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Carbon materials derived from alginic acid did not show any toxicity toward Escherichia coli (E. coli). Thus, these materials were found to be the potential candidate of the base material for the growth-promoting agents of E. coli. The growing condition and quantitative method for E. coli biofilm was also optimized to investigate the effect of hydrophilicity of carbon materials on the growth of E. coli. Furthermore, the rapid and simple surface treatment method of flat-plate carbon materials using a plasma jet device was developed.
