Abstract

1,2-propanediol-utilizing yeast, Y-1-4, was isolated from sludge sample by the enrichment culture technique. The product produced from 1,2-propanediol by the selected strain was identified as lactic acid by paper chromatography and infrared absorption spectrum. The strain assimilated ethanol, 1,2-propanediol, glycerine and glucose, but it produced lactic acid from 1,2-propanediol used as the sole carbon source. Under optimal conditions, the strain Y-1-4 was cultured with shaking at 3$0^{\circ}C$ for 4days in the medium containing 1,2-propanediol 20.0g, NH$_4$Cl 5.0g, KH$_2$PO$_4$ 1.0g, MgSO$_4$.7$H_2O$ 0.5g, FeSO$_4$.7$H_2O$ 0.25g, yeast extract 0.4g, CaCO$_3$ 3. 0g and tap water to one liter, and then the yield of lactic acid was about 12. 1g per liter of the culture broth.

토양과 sludge 에서 1,2-propanediol을 자화할 수 있는 미생물을 분리하여 이들 중 가장 많은 젖산을 생성 하는 호모 한 균주(Y-1-4)를 선정하였다. 배양액에 생성된 산은 paper chromatography와 IR spectrum에 의해서 젖산으로 확인되었다. 이 효모는 탄소원으로서 ethanol, glycerin, glucose 및 1,2-propanediol 등을 자화할 수 있었는데 1,2-propanediol 으로부터만 젖산을 생성했다. 1,2-propanediol 에서부터 젖산생성의 최적 배지 및 최적 배양조건을 검토해서 1,2-propanediol 2.0%, NH$_4$Cl 0.5%, KH$_2$PO$_4$ 0.1%, MgSO$_4$.7$H_2O$ 0.05%, FeSO$_4$.7$H_2O$ 0.025%, yeast extract 0.04%와 CaCO$_3$ 0.3%를 함유하는 배지를 3$0^{\circ}C$에서 4일간 진탕 배양한 결과 젖산 생성량은 liter당 12.1gram 이었다.
