Abstract

A potent fungus producing milk clotting enzyme with fairly weak proteolytic activity was isolated from various soil and sewage, which the selected strain, SA-101, was identified as Mucor sp. with microbiological characteristics. Its milk clotting enzyme production was maximized when grown on 10g of wheat bran media added to 8ml of tap water containing 0.1M HCl for 60hrs at $30^{\circ}C$. This enzyme production was stimulated by addition of 6% lactose, 0.05% NaCl and reached a maximal level of 9810 unit/g wheat bran. The crude enzyme product could be produced effectively by salting out with ammonium sulfate fractionation and lyophilization. The ratio of milk clotting activity to proteolytic activity of crude enzyme product was lower than Hansen rennet, but resembled to Meito rennet. The optimal temperature of milk clotting activity of crude enzyme product was abound $60^{\circ}C$ on a substrate of 10% reconstituted skim milk containing 1/100M $CaCl_2$.

토양(土壤) 및 하수(下水)에서 단백분해활성(蛋白分解活性)이 약하고 응유활성(凝乳活性)이 강한 SA-101 균주(菌株)를 분리(分離), 선정(選定)하여 Mucor sp. 동정(同定)하였다. 사용균주(使用菌株)에 의한 응유효소생산(凝乳酵素生産)은 밀기울 10 g에 0.1M HCl 을 함유한 수도수 8 ml를 가하여 $30^{\circ}C$에서 60시간의 배양(培養)이 가장 좋았다. Lactose 6%, NaCl 0.05%를 첨가(添加)하였을때 효소생산(酵素生産)이 촉진(促進)되었고 밀기울 g당(當) 9,810 단위(單位)의 효소생산(酵素生産)을 보였다. 유안염석(硫安鹽析)과 동결건조(凍結乾燥)등으로 조제한 조효소제품(粗酵素製品)의 MCA/PA비(比)는 Hansen rennet 보다 낮았으나 Meito rennet과 유사하였고 응유활성(凝乳活性)의 최적온도(最適溫度)는 1/100M $CaC1_2$를 함유한 10% 환원탈지유(還元脫脂乳)를 기질로 하였을 때 $60^{\circ}C$ 부근이었다.
