To provide a method for culturing hydrogen oxidizing bacteria and a device for culturing hydrogen oxidizing bacteria that are capable of supplying hydrogen to a culture medium without storing a large amount of hydrogen and with reduced energy consumption.SOLUTION: A method for culturing hydrogen oxidizing bacteria comprises: a hydrogen generation step of generating hydrogen by bringing a metal body into contact with a liquid containing water so as to cause a corrosion reaction in the metal body; and a hydrogen supply step of supplying the generated hydrogen to a culture medium in which hydrogen oxidizing bacteria are inoculated.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 12 【課題】大量の水素を保管することなく、かつ、エネルギー消費を抑えながら水素を培地に供給することができる水素酸化細菌の培養方法および水素酸化細菌の培養装置を提供すること。【解決手段】金属体と水を含む液体とを接触させて、前記金属体に腐食反応を生じさせることにより、水素を発生させる水素発生工程と、発生させた前記水素を水素酸化細菌が接種されている培地に供給する水素供給工程と、を有することを特徴とする水素酸化細菌の培養方法。【選択図】図１２
