Outline of Final Research Achievements

It has been known that biogenic manganese oxides have been shown to adsorb minor metals. Therefore, if we produce bio-manganese oxides continuously, we should be able to capture minor metals such as nickel and cobalt from seawater. For this purpose, we tried to cultivate manganese-oxidizing microbial community from a marine sediment sample in a bioreactor, called the down-flow hanging sponge (DHS) bioreactor. As a result, a complex microbial community that contains autotrophic microorganisms and manganese oxidize microorganisms grew in the DHS bioreactor and production of bio-manganese oxides were observed.
