<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sterilization method using ozone for an organism growing apparatus, eliminating bacteria which affect growth of useful organism stored in the growing apparatus easily and completely. <P>SOLUTION: Ozonic gas is brought into the organism growing apparatus 10 first prior to the transfer of useful organism into the apparatus 10, in order not only to maintain the appropriate temperature and gas composition including steam for their growth in the apparatus 10 where the useful organism is cultured, but also to eliminate bacteria which affect the growth, and bacteria will be eliminated when each part of the apparatus 10 is exposed to the ozonic gas. Then, a gas for adjusting the gas composition is brought into the apparatus 10, with which the gas composition in the apparatus 10 will include no ozone more and will become appropriate for the growth of the organism through at least three stages of process, ozone injection for eliminating bacteria included in the apparatus, degradation and removal of the ozone and dust removal by a HEPA filter F. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
