As a kind of micro-tools which could convert other kinds of energies into kinetic energy thus propel themselves moving forward, the researches of micromotors have been gradually broadened to the crossing filed with microorganisms, such as the preparation of the microorganic-micromotors (MMs) with their applications in the detections of microorganisms, sterilization and drug delivery in vivo. The sensing mechanism and biocompatibility of microorganisms were complementary to the autonomous movement of micromotors, thus their combination provided new ideas and methods for the applications of micromotors and detections for microorganisms. However, limited by the finite preparation methods, uncontrollable motion and difficult degradation, the researches of MMs were more primitive when comparing with others, while the development of new materials and the optimization of driving methods will effectively solve the problems and develop wider application prospect for MMs.
