Fusarin C Production by Fusarium moniliforme in Liquid Media

액체배지에서의 Fusarium moniliforme에 의한 Fusarin C생성에 관한 연구

This study was carried out to find the optimum condition for production of fusarin C, Known as a mutagenic and toxic agent. Three liquid media, Czapek-kox, MYRO, GYEP and microorganism, Fusarium moniliforme F84 isolated by Bjeldanes lab. in U.C. Berkeley, were used in this experiment. Fusarin C amounts were determined upon PH and fluctuating time/temperature. The results were obtained as follows; 1. The largest amounts of fusarin C were shown in Czapek-Dox medium and the amounts were about 1/10 of fusarin C amounts in corn culture. 2. In Czapek-Dox medium, the best condition for fusarin C production was at $28^{\circ}C$ for 2 weeks culture, and in corn culture, at $28^{\circ}C$ for l week culture. 3. The best initial PH for fusarin C production was 6.5 in Czapek-Dox medium and also at the initial pH 6.3, 5.9 the fusarin C amounts produced were much higher than other initial PH.

세 가지 액체배지를 사용하여 Berkeley대학 Dr. Bjeldanes Lab에서 isolate된 F. moniliforme을 생육시킨 결과 Czapek-Dox medium에서 Fusarin C생성량이 가장 높았으며 옥수수에 비하면 약 1/10정도의 양인 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 Czapek-Dox medium의 경우 $28^{\circ}C$에서 2주간 배양한 때에 Fusarin C의 생성량이 가장 많았으며 옥수수의 경우는 28$^{\circ}C$에서 1주간 배양한 때에 가장 높았다. 또한 Czapek-Dox medium의 initial PH가 6.5인 때에 Fusarin C의 생성량이 최대이었으며 6.3, 5.9인 때도 다른 PH보다 월등히 높은 양이 생성됨을 확인할 수 있었다.
