METHOD FOR KILLING MICROORGANISM

摘要

Provided is a technique for enabling the easy storage and utilization of a solution that contains cells of a microorganism and has an enzymatic activity. The technique is a method for killing a microorganism in a solution that contains cells of the microorganism and has an enzymatic activity while keeping the enzyme titer of the solution, characterized by comprising adjusting the pH value of the solution and then heating the pH-adjusted solution. Alternatively, the technique is a method for killing a microorganism in a solution that contains cells of the microorganism and has an enzymatic activity while keeping the enzyme titer of the solution, characterized by comprising adding a carbohydrate to the solution and then heating the carbohydrate-added solution.
