Metabolite utilization is highly demanded for sustainable society. However there are many cases when cultivating a microorganism to be contaminated by other microorganisms in open-environment and that particular one cannot be survive. That is why, it is necessary to establish a way to avoid those affection but at the same time make them absorb nutrients to live and metabolize. In tissue engineering, cell-laden microfibers which grow biological cell within the fiber has a high profile. One approach is to structure fiber with calcium alginate. In order to apply this technique in microorganisms' cultivation, we proposed a process to fabricate hollow microfiber in this study. We also experimentally verified that porous surfaced hollow microfiber worked as protection for inside microorganisms from germ. Our results show that this way has potential to culture microorganisms massively in open-environment.
