Abstract
A filamentous microorganism was isolated from completely rotten wood for the production of cellulolytic enzyme. The Trichoderma sp. FJ1 produced a large amount of cellulolytic enzymes, such as CMC, xylanase, ${\beta}-glucosidase$, and avicelase. For the production of the enzymes, when cellulolsic wastes were used as carbon sources of strain FJ1, rice straw showed higher enzyme activities than sawdust and pulp. The activities of CMC, xylanase, ${\beta}-glucosidase$, and avicelase were 2.95, 5.89, 0.45, and 0.12 U/ml in use of rice straw, respectively. To enhance production of the enzymes, the mixture substrate of rice straw and commercial cellulosic materials was investigated as carbon sources. The highest activities of CMCase, ${\beta}-glucosidase$, and avicelase were found in the mixture of rice straw and avicel, particularly rice straw:avicel (50:50), and the highest xylanase was obtained in the mixture ratio of 71:29. Bacto peptone addition of 0.1% showed enhanced production of the cellulolytic enzymes in which the activities of CMCase, xylanase ${\beta}-glucosidase$, and avicelase were 19.23, 27.18, 1.28, and 0.53 U/ml, respectively. The production of the enzymes using rice straw was efficiently induced in present of avicel and pulp containing high content of cellulose. Consequently, the filamentous microorganism, strain FJ1 utilized various cellulosic wastes as carbon sources and cellulases productivities were excellent compared to those of others strains reported previously, suggesting that the strain FJ1 will be expected as a favorable candidate for biological saccharification of cellulosic wastes in further.
Trichoderma sp. FJ1의 cellulase 생산을 위한 배지조성의 검토에서, 질소원으로서 0.1% bacto peptone을 사용하였을 때 생산성이 향상되었으며, 순수 상업용기질인 avicel과 섬유소 폐기물인 볏짚의 혼합배양에서 높은 효소생산성이 얻어졌다. 경제적인 효소생산성을 위한 기질로 섬유소 폐기물의 농도와 혼합비를 검토한 결과, 1%농도에서 볏짚과 펄프를 50:50으로 사용했을시 CMCase, xylanase, ${\beta}-glucosidase$, avicelase는 24.3, 38.7, 1.5, 0.6 U/ml가 얻어졌다. 이러한 효소생산성은 타 보고서의 결과보다 동등이상의 우위를 보여주고 있으며 섬유소 폐기물의 생물학적 당화기술에 크게 기여하리라 사료된다.
