Hydrogen-Oxidizing Bacteria Culturing Method And Hydrogen-Oxidizing Bacteria Culturing Apparatus - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240209312 titled 'Hydrogen-Oxidizing Bacteria Culturing Method And Hydrogen-Oxidizing Bacteria Culturing Apparatus
The method described in the abstract involves supplying a gas containing carbon dioxide to a liquid surface of a liquid medium inoculated with hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria that can use the carbon dioxide as a carbon source. Hydrogen is also supplied to the bacteria, with the hydrogen being generated through a corrosion reaction in a metal body when the liquid medium comes into contact with it.
- The method involves utilizing hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria that can grow using carbon dioxide as a carbon source.
- Carbon dioxide is supplied to the liquid medium to support the growth of the bacteria.
- Hydrogen is generated through a corrosion reaction in a metal body when the liquid medium interacts with it.
- The hydrogen generated is then supplied to the hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria to support their growth.
- This process allows for the efficient utilization of carbon dioxide and hydrogen in a controlled environment.
Potential Applications: - This method could be used in bioremediation processes to clean up environments contaminated with carbon dioxide and hydrogen. - It could also be applied in industrial settings for the production of biofuels or other bioproducts using hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria.
Problems Solved: - Provides a method for utilizing carbon dioxide and hydrogen in a controlled manner for bacterial growth. - Offers a sustainable approach to utilizing these gases in various applications.
Benefits: - Enables the efficient use of carbon dioxide and hydrogen in biotechnological processes. - Supports the growth of hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria for various applications.
Commercial Applications: - Bioremediation processes - Biofuel production - Bioproduct manufacturing
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the corrosion reaction in the metal body generate hydrogen? 2. What are the specific types of hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria used in this method?
Original Abstract Submitted
a method includes: supplying a gas containing carbon dioxide to a liquid surface of a liquid medium inoculated with hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria that are growable using the carbon dioxide as a carbon source; and supplying hydrogen to the hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria, the hydrogen being generated by bringing the liquid medium into contact with a metal body and causing a corrosion reaction in the metal body
