"Iron bacteria microscopic observation" Contracted detection and observation of iron bacteria.
Identification of types of iron bacteria (Gallionella, Leptothrix, Sphaerotilus, etc.) / Report of microscope images capturing cell morphology.
【Overview】 This is a contracted testing and analysis service that observes iron bacteria and reports their types. In this test, the presence of iron bacteria is observed using an optical microscope, primarily focusing on water samples from the environment (including samples with brownish precipitates), and results are reported with images and identification results. Observations are conducted using Gram staining and unstained methods (such as differential interference observation), referencing sewage testing methods (2012 edition) and ASTM D932-20 (2020). Microscopic observation of iron bacteria in accordance with the international standard ASTM International's "Standard Test Method for Iron Bacteria in Water and Water-Formed Deposits (D932-20 (2020))" is also available. 【Iron Bacteria】 A group of bacteria that have the ability to oxidize dissolved iron and dissolved manganese in water, depositing them both inside and outside their cells, are referred to as iron bacteria. Filamentous microorganisms, including iron bacteria (primarily filamentous bacteria), are detected in places where groundwater containing dissolved iron emerges, and they can cause issues such as microbial corrosion, bulking of activated sludge, and clogging of biofilms, which are problematic for the maintenance and management of biological treatment facilities for wastewater and similar applications.
