<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a nucleic acid molecule used as a specific probe or a specific PCR primer for detecting an iron-corrosive methane production bacterium: and to provide a method for detecting a corrosive bacterium. <P>SOLUTION: The nucleic acid molecule comprises a specific base sequence or a complementary sequence thereof. Alternatively, a nucleic acid molecule comprises a partial sequence of the specific sequence or the complementary sequence thereof, wherein the nucleic acid molecule is specifically associated (hybridization) with a base sequence of the specific sequence or the complementary sequence thereof to give a specific probe or a specific PCR primer. Otherwise, a nucleic acid molecule comprises the partial sequence of the specific sequence or the complementary sequence thereof, in which one or several bases are deleted, replaced or added, wherein the nucleic acid molecule is specifically associated (hybridization) with the base sequence of the specific sequence or the complementary sequence thereof to give a specific probe or a specific PCR primer. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
