Microbiological water filter

This invention describes a rigid, porous material, like a block or sheet, made from apatite and a binder. This material is specifically designed to hold microorganisms within its pores. The purpose is to allow an external agent to interact with these immobilized microorganisms, rather than simply filtering them out of a fluid.

Why it matters: Filed before significant advances in microbial immobilization and biosensor technologies. These could now enable more precise control and detection of interactions with the claimed immobilized microbes.
