Various methods have been used to collect reaction products by allowing microorganisms to act on poorly water-soluble substrates such as hydrocarbons. In order to increase reaction efficiency, this type of reaction is often carried out in a solvent consisting of a two-liquid phase system consisting of water and organic solvent, to which an organic solvent different from the substrate is added (especially (See Publications No. 63-13678 and No. 63-14951).

On the other hand, recently, in order to facilitate the separation of the fungus and the fungal body,
Various so-called immobilized microbial cells in which microorganisms are immobilized have been proposed. As this immobilization method, there is an enveloping method in which the bacterial cells are immobilized in a polymer gel in a manner that envelops them. This method has been widely adopted because it has advantages such as less leakage of bacterial cells and less decrease in bacterial activity because there is no chemical bond between the bacterial cells and the carrier. Supports used in this entrapping immobilization method include natural polymers such as alginic acid, agar, carrageenan, chitosan, gelatin, and albumin, acrylamide, photocrosslinkable resins, polyurethane, polyvinyl alcohol, epoxy resins, and synthesized silicone rubber. polymers are known.

Add it to a mixture of an aqueous solution (preferably a reaction medium aqueous solution is used as the aqueous solution) containing alginate at a concentration of % by weight, stir well to disperse the bacterial cells well, and add this mixture to the gelling agent. By extruding it in droplets using a syringe or the like, the alginic acid is gelled, and the silicone prepolymer is polymerized and cured to obtain a bead-shaped specimen. At this time, if necessary, a polymerization catalyst for the silicone prepolymer may be added to shorten the curing time of the polymer. Furthermore, it goes without saying that this matrix may be formed into a sheet shape.
