Abstract
In an embodiment, an adding device of a produced substance by a cultured organism includes a culture tube and a semipermeable membrane section. A culture solution containing the cultured organism flows through a channel inside the culture tube, and the culture tube extends into a medium. The semipermeable membrane section is formed in a portion of the culture tube extending inside the medium. The semipermeable membrane section allows the substance produced by the cultured organism but not cells of the cultured organism to pass therethrough, thereby allowing the produced substance to permeate the medium from the channel.
