Enzymes, cells and/or cellular organelles are bound to an insoluble sintered expanded clay support matrix for catalyzing transformations of agriculture and industrial residues in soil and in other environments. In one embodiment, an enzyme is absorbed by the sintered expanded clay support matrix and a phenolic monomer is polymerized or copolymerized on the support matrix containing the bound enzyme. In another embodiment, an enzyme different from the enzyme absorbed by the support matrix is combined with the phenolic monomer and a copolymer of enzyme and phenolic monomer is formed on the support matrix containing the bound enzyme. The phenolic monomer is preferably catechol, pyrogallic acid and/or resorcinol. Polymerization or copolymerization of the phenolic monomer is catalyzed by enzyme catalysis with laccase or tyrosinase or peroxidase in combination with hydrogen peroxide, by inorganic catalysis with ammonium persulfate or manganese dioxide, or by organic catalysis with N,N,N',N' tetramethyl-ethylene-diamine (TEMED).
