To provide methods that rapidly capture microorganisms present in a liquid to simply crush and kill them, and to provide tools thereof.SOLUTION: Provided is a method for sterilizing microorganisms just by rapidly capturing microorganisms on a member surface having a highly hydrophilic photocatalyst and subsequently peeling the microorganisms from the member surface with a weak mechanical stimulation to crush them with high efficiency. In addition, a member having a highly hydrophilic photocatalyst film surface is used as a tool for quickly capturing microorganisms in water to sterilize and crush them by the method.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】液中に存在する微生物を、迅速に捕捉した後、簡便に破砕死滅させる方法およびその用具を提供する。【解決手段】高度表面親水化光触媒を有する部材表面に、微生物を速やかに捕捉して、その後、微弱な機械的刺激によって部材表面から微生物を剥離するのみで、微生物を高効率で破砕して殺菌する方法である。また、微生物を水中で速やかに捕捉して、この方法で殺菌破砕するための用具として、高度親水化光触媒膜表面を有する部材を使用する。【選択図】図１
