The shear stress acting on the microbial suspension is represented by, for example, the product of the apparent viscosity of the microbial suspension and the shear rate.
Here, since the shear rate is proportional to the circulation flow rate, if the viscosity can be known, the shear stress acting on the microbial suspension can be calculated, and if the calculated shear stress is larger than a predetermined value, the circulation flow rate is reduced. By doing so, the shear stress can be reduced to a predetermined value or less.

(Example) β-by recombinant E. coli
In the production of galactosidase, E. coli was concentrated by the method of the present invention as a step prior to extracting β-galactosidase from the fermentation broth. Since Escherichia coli is a Gram-negative microorganism, it has the property of accumulating substances produced during fermentation in the system. In order to purify the fermented β-galactosidase, the Escherichia coli accumulating β-galactosidase in the system is concentrated so as not to destroy it, and then destroyed and purified. The membrane module used to concentrate E. coli is a microfiltration membrane N manufactured by Nitto Denko.
TU-2020, the membrane separation conditions were a temperature of 20 ° C., a transmembrane pressure difference of 1.0 kg / cm 2 , and a membrane surface velocity of 2.0 m / s. The concentration of E. coli at the start of membrane separation was 2.4 g / l. After the start of membrane separation, the viscosity increased as the E. coli concentration in the liquid to be filtered increased. Since it was inferred from the β-galactosidase concentration in the permeate that the increase in shear stress due to this viscosity destroyed Escherichia coli, the membrane surface velocity was reduced by the inverter control of the circulation pump. The final concentration of E. coli was 127.8 g / l, of which 36,8
00 U / l of enzyme was recovered.

(Comparative Example) Escherichia coli was concentrated using the membrane separation apparatus used in the above-mentioned Examples under the same conditions as in the above-mentioned Examples except that the flow velocity on the membrane surface was not controlled. The concentration of E. coli at the start of membrane separation was 2.4 g / l. After the start of membrane separation, the viscosity increased as the E. coli concentration in the liquid to be filtered increased. It was inferred from the β-galactosidase concentration in the permeate that the increase in shear stress accompanying the viscosity destroyed E. coli, but the flow velocity on the membrane was not controlled. The concentration of E. coli finally obtained was 96.1 g / l, of which 2
3,300 U / l of enzyme was recovered. It is considered that the reason why the yield was lower than that in Examples was that E. coli was destroyed by the action of shear stress during the membrane separation operation, and β-galactosidase contained in Escherichia coli flowed out to the permeate side.
