  • Publication number: 20160145556
    Abstract: A triiodide resin (TR) tube of the present invention has a cylindrical shape. A resin exhaust preventing part is provided at a lower portion of the TR tube, and a triiodide resin is received inside the TR tube. A contaminated culture passes through the TR tube to allow an axenic culture to flow out. When a microalgae culture contaminated with bacteria passes through the TR tube filled with the triiodide resin, a pure culture of microalgae can be prepared by using the sterilizing rate of bacteria populations, which is relatively higher than that of microalgae, due to characteristics of iodine exhibiting negative polarity.
