To provide a method for processing biomass (vegetable biomass, animal biomass and waste biomass from local government, for example) and generating useful intermediate product and product material which are polycarboxylic acid and polycarboxylic acid derivative for example.SOLUTION: A method includes: processing a lignocellulose material or a cellulose material with reduced hardly decomposable property by one type or more of enzyme and/or organism to generate polycarboxylic acid; and converting the polycarboxylic acid into the product.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】バイオマス（例えば、植物バイオマス、動物バイオマス、および自治体廃棄物バイオマス）を加工して、有用な中間体および生成物、例えばポリカルボン酸およびポリカルボン酸誘導体を生成する方法の提供。【解決手段】難分解性を低下させたリグノセルロース材料またはセルロース材料を１種以上の酵素および／または生物体で処理して、ポリカルボン酸を生成すること；ならびに前記ポリカルボン酸を前記生成物に変換すること、を含む、方法。【選択図】図１
