Abstract

Flocculant-producing microorganisms were isolated from soil samples using kaoline as the flocculating test material. One strain that had high flocculating activity among them was selected and identified as Arcuadendron sp. TS-49. The favorable medium for production of the flocculant was 3% glucose, 0.2% yeast extract, 0.1% $NH_4Cl$, 0.01% $MgSO_4$, and 0.05% $MnSO_4$ in 150ml of T.W. with initial pH 7.0.The optimum culture temperature and pH were $30^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.0, respectively. The flocculant activity was observed most highly after 4 to 5 days of cultivation at the optimum condition and decreased significantly with the lapse of cultivation time. The flocculant was produced constituently and seemed to be degraded for ressimilation during cultivation. The productivity achieved by this system was about ten-fold higher than that of scrrening mediuim. This bioflocculant flocculated all tested solids, including various microorganisms and organic/inorganic compounds. Several qualitative analyses of the bioflocculant showed that it was a kind of glycoprotein containing sugars and protein.

응집제를 생산하는 미생물은 토양시료로 부터 분리하여 그 중 응집활성이 높은 1 균주를 선택하여 분류학적 위치를 조사한 결과, Arcuadendrop sp.으도 동정되었으며 본 균주를 Arcuadendron sp. TS-49로 명명하였다. 응집제 생산 최적배지는 3% glucose, 0.2% yeast extract, 0.1% $NH_4Cl$, 0.05% $MnSO_4$, 0.01% $MgSO_4$ (pH 7.0)의 경우가 가장 우수하였으며, 배양 온도 및 배양 pH는 $30^{\circ}C$, pH 7.0일 때가 최적이었다. 최적 배양조건하에서 4~5일간 배양시 응집제 생산량이 최대에 도달하였으며 배양 시간의 경과와 더불어 응집활성은 급격히 감소하는 현상을 보여 생분해성이 우수함을 나타내었따. 이때의 응집제 생산량은 screening 배지에 비해 거의 10배 정도로 향상되었으며, 각종 microorganism과 suspended solid에 대한 응집작용을 검토한 결과, 정도의 차이는 있으나 모든 공시물질에 응집활성을 나타내었다.응집제의 조성을 검토하기 위해 각종 정성 test를 행한 결과, 당과 단백질이 검출되어 일종의 glycoprotein 임이 확인되었다.
