A carbon catalyst which has high catalytic activity and can achieve high catalyst performance is provided. The carbon catalyst comprises nitrogen. The energy peak area ratio of the first nitrogen atom whose electron in the 1s orbital has a binding energy of 398.5&#xb1;1.0 eV to the second nitrogen atom whose electron in the 1s orbital has a binding energy of 401&#xb1;1.0 eV (i.e., the value of (the first nitrogen atom)/(the second nitrogen atom)) of the nitrogen introduced into the catalyst is 1.2 or less.

The present invention relates to an instrument, a method and a kit for detecting a microorganism contaminating a subject test sample, which enables one to quickly and accurately identify the microorganism with an easy operation. The instrument for detecting a microorganism according to the present invention relates to a microarray type instrument in which oligonucleotides prepared based on nucleotide sequences specific to the species and genus to which the subject microorganism belongs have been immobilized onto a surface of a substrate. Based on the presence or absence of hybridization of the probes prepared from the test sample with the oligonucleotides immobilized onto the surface of the substrate, the present invention makes it possible to detect and/or identify the microorganism in the test sample easily, quickly and accurately.

A kit comprising an oligonucleotide-immobilized substrate obtained by immobilizing, on a substrate, one or more kinds of oligonucleotides that enable detection of a polymorphism in a nucleotide sequence of mitochondrial DNA control region of chum salmon, of which standard is represented by the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 8, at a position selected from the 10th, 30th, 42nd, 57th, 70th, 96th, 108th, 154th, 194th, 231st, 242nd, 250th, 260th, 339th, 340th, 386th, 395th, 401st and 471st positions is used to detect the polymorphism based on hybridization of the oligonucleotides with a nucleic acid derived from specimen chum salmon and thereby determine a haplotype of the specimen chum salmon.

Method for determining chum salmon haplotype using mitochondrial DNA

A nucleic acid to be immobilized and used for hybridization of nucleic acids using an immobilized nucleic acid, which has a polymer comprising a compound having an unsaturated bond, said polymer being bonded to the 3' end or 5&#x2032; end or both ends of the nucleic acid; a nucleic acid-immobilized substrate comprising a substrate for immobilizing a nucleic acid and the polymer-having nucleic acid immobilized on the substrate; and a method for detecting a nucleic acid by hybridization using an immobilized nucleic acid, which comprises using the nucleic acid-immobilized substrate.
