폐섬유자원의 발효공학적 이용에 관한 연구 (제8보) 섬유소자화세균의 혼합배양

Studies on the Fermentative Utilization of Cellulosic Wastes (Part 8) Mixed Culture of Cellulose Assimilating Bacteria

섬유소 자화세균의 분리 및 이용과정에서 혼합배양하므로써 균체증식이 향상 되었는데, 이러한 혼합배양에 따른 여러 가지 영향과 보조균을 동정한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) Cellulomona flavigena의 단독배양에서는 O.D.가 0.26이였으나, 보조균과 혼합배양하므로써 O.D.가 0.37로 증가하였다. 2) 보조균은 gliding motility가 있었으며, microcyst가 확인되었는데 이것은 Sporocytophga 속과 일치하였다. 3) 혼합배양에서 생육최적 pH는 7.2 부근이 좋았으며, 최적온도는 3$0^{\circ}C$ 부근이었다. 4) 혼합배양에 있어서 두 균의 분포도는 10 : 1 정도로 Cellulomonas flavigena가 주로 분포되어 있었다. 5) Cellulomonas flavigena의 growth factor로서 thiamine과 biotin을 요구하였으며, Sporocytophaga sp.는 vitamin 요구성이 없었다. 6) Cellulomonas flavigena의 단독배양액에서는 추적할 만한 glucose 량이 없었으나, 혼합배양에서는 glucose가 확인되었다. 7) Cellulomonas flavigena의 균체중 필수아미노산으로 valine, leucine, arginime이 비교적 많은 편이였다

The study was made of the cultural condition and physiological characteristics of the symbiotic pair of microorganisms, Cellulomonas flavigena and the second organism. It also contains the results of a taxonomical study of the second organism. The results obtained wers summarized as follows : 1) Cell yield of the mixed culture, Cellulomonas and the second organism, was higher than that of each pure culture in CM-Cellulose medium. 2) The taxonomical characteristics of the second organism revealed that it probably belonged to the genus Sporocytophaga because it had a gliding motility and microcyst. 3) Optimum pH of the mixed culture was found to be in the vicinity of 7.2, and optimum temperature of the cell growth in the mixed culture was observed to be in the vicinity of 30$^{\circ}C$. 4) It was found that the majority of the population during growth in the mixed culture consisted of Cellulomonas flavigena. 5) Cellulomonas flavigena required thiamine and biotin as growth factors but Sporocytophaga sp. had no requirement of vitamins. 6) Gulucose was not found in detectable amounts in the medium of Cellulomonas flavigena but it was traced in the mixture by thin layer chromatography. 7) Sixteen amino acids were analyzed from the cell protein of Cellulomonas flavigena by amino acid autoanalyzer. The amount of the leucine, valine and arginine was very high.
