PURPOSE:To efficiently produce useful metabolite in enhanced physiological and growth activity, by blowing air for removing bacteria together with a culture medium into a moving type continuously foamed immobilizing bed in large quantities in a system for continuously culturing and collecting bacteria in large quantities. CONSTITUTION:Growth beds of a microorganism is assembled on the conveyer chain rotating endlessly by a driving apparatus 6 and continuously pass through a reactor 1 in order and circulated. The reactor 1 is provided with a spray nozzle 2, an inlet 3 of air and a blower 7 for feeding large quantities of air to microorganisms in the growth beds 4. The apparatus is provided with a lower part reactor 5 receiving air passing through the growth beds 4 and cultivation liquids and provided with a discharge hole to an outer storage tank 12 for cultivation liquid, a high pressure spray water-spraying nozzle 25 for recovering microorganisms, a receiver 28, an air-heating equipment 9, a vessel 29 for recovering the organisms or the like.
