| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It is much difficult to investigate a deep biosphere microbial ecosystem in oceanic crust due to their low activities and difficulty in the analysis. Hence, there is little finding even on general microbial metabolic process of the deep biosphere. In this study, we have developed a new method to analyze chemical species of metals and organic materials at single-cell level by coupling two advanced techniques, scanning transmission X-ray microscopy and fluorescence in situ hybridization.
