| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We employed NanoSIMS(Nano-scale Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy) for studying eco-physiology of microorganism in subseafloor biosphere, which is largest microbial biosphere on the Earth. Through developments of techniques to detect, separate, and purify microbial cells from the matrix of subseafloor samples (e.g. sediment grains), we successfully detected substrate incorporation activity of subeseafloor microbes.
