Microbe of the genus Rhodococcus discovered by Ritsumeikan university is hoped for to purify soil in Okinawa Prefecture in Japan. There are 37 bases of the US armed forces in Okinawa. People in Okinawa Prefecture desire the US armed to return those lots. They are worried with what lots after return may be contaminated with machine oil and fuel oil. Then, Nanyo Doken Co. Ltd., Kumagai Gumi Co. Ltd. and Technos Co. Ltd. started a proving test with the microbe. In the proving test, the companies are examining fit usage for Okinawa's characteristic environment, the soil including fine grains and the climate of high temperature and high humidity.
