6 History of UCDI s Hydrogen Bacteria Isolation from Nature 1970s: Dr. Kodama s team, Applied Microbiology Lab., University of Tokyo, had tried to isolate many kinds of hydrogen bacteria from nature. Scientific Advisor Dr. Toru Kodama They set up a landmark of hydrogen bacteria s feature for future industrialization. * Rapid growth in a complete inorganic medium Target of doubling time : less than 1 hour * Thermophilic hydrogen bacteria Target of optimum temperature: over 50 C Copyright 2017 by UCDI All Rights reserved. 5

7 History of UCDI s Hydrogen Bacteria Izu Peninsula Tokyo The targeted strain was isolated from a hot spring in Izu Peninsula Screening Result 1976: Dr. Kodama s team got big success The strain s feature Doubling time: 1hour Optimum temperature: 52 C Optimum ph: 7.0 Gram- negative Strictly aerobic Taxonomic position: Pseudomonas hydrogenothermophila Agric.
