The present invention provides a stable complex microbial system, which
simultaneously decomposes a plurality of organic contaminants even under
a polluted environment with these contaminants and permits more effective
decomposition of persistent organic contaminants such as PCNB and
simazine. A support for holding a complexed enrichment of degrading
bacteria, which contains a porous material provided as a support on which
degrading bacteria A capable of degrading at least one organic
contaminant and degrading bacteria B capable of degrading another organic
contaminant are enriched, is produced.
The degrading bacteria A may be a PCNB-degrading bacteria, particularly
degrading bacteria containing degrading bacteria having part or all of
the bacteriological characteristics of Nocardioides sp. PD653 and the
degrading bacteria B may be degrading bacteria containing degrading
bacteria having part or all of the bacteriological characteristics of
.beta.-Proteobacteria CDB21.
