Studies on the Utilization of Agricultural Wastes (Part 2) Isolation and Identification of Cellulose Utilizing Bacteria.

농산폐자원의 이용에 관한 연구(제이보) 섬유소자화세균의 분리 및 동정

For the purpose of producing cellulosic single-cell protein from the agricultural wastes, 172 strains of cellulose-assimilating bacteria were isolated from 102 samples of rotten woods, compost soils, soils and so on by the enrichment culture technique. The isolates were examined for their ability to utilize cellulose as carbon source, and then six strains were screened by their strong cellulose assimilating ability and identified as follows: 1. Among six strains of bacteria screened, five strains were identified as species belonged to the genus Cellulomonas and the remainder to the genus of Sporocytophaga. 2. The isolated Sporocytophaga species was identified as S. ellipsosporn because it has a ellipsoidal microcyst. 3. The isolated Cellulomonas species were identical to a strain of C. fimi, C. aurcgena, C. gelida, respectively and two strains to C. flavigena. 4. The isolated C. aurogena was proved to be a new variety becauuse it has different characteristics of assimilating pentoses such as arabinose and xylose from the strain discribed in Bergey's Manual.

농산페자원을 기질로 하여 섬유소단세포단백을 생산하기 위해 전국에서 수집한 썩은 나무, 퇴비, 토양 등 시료에서 enrichment culture technique으로 172주의 섬유소자화세균을 분리하였다. 이들중 섬유소 자화력이 강한 균 6주를 동정하여 다음 결과를 얻었다. 1. 선별한 6주 중 5주는 Cellulomonas속이었으며 나머지 1주는 Sporocytophaga속이었다. 2. Sporocytophaga속의 세균은 microcyst가 타원형인 S. ellepsospora이었다. 3. Cellulomonas속의 세균들은 C.fimi 1균주, C.gelida 1균주, C. flavigena 2균주 및 C. aurogena 1 균주이 었다. 4. 분리균 C. aurogena는 5탄당인 arabinose 와 xylose를 자화하는 성질이 Bergey's Manual에 수록된 균과 달라 새로운 변종으로 판명되었다.
