Microorganism resistive to hydrogen peroxide

摘要

A novel isolated microorganism, Micrococcus luteus KCTC 0369BP, exhibits a linear survival curve versus the concentration of hydrogen peroxide and is thus useful in a method of determining the degree of sterilization of, for example, ultrapure water that has been sterilized by hydrogen peroxide. The novel isolated microorganism produces a surface polysaccharide and a catalase.
