Micropore filtration is a standard method for filter sterilization in scientific research, water treatment, and medical and industrial applications. However, ultra-small microorganisms (e.g., ultramicrobacteria) have been found to pass through microfiltration membranes. We are engaged in the detection and identification of these small microorganisms, as well as the investigation of their bioproduction potential and resource significance.
