Provided is a method for capture and release of microorganisms using microstructures. The method includes providing microstructures coated with a protein for attachment/detachment of microorganisms, mixing the microstructures with a solution containing substances assisting in attachment of microorganisms in a solution containing microorganisms to prepare a mixed solution, stirring the mixed solution to attach the microorganisms to the microstructures, separating the microorganism-attached microstructures from the mixed solution; and exposing the microstructures to an environment where the substances assisting in attachment of the microorganisms are present at a low concentration to detach the microorganisms from the microstructures.
