Abstract

The optimal initial pH for the ethanol production by Saccharomyces K35 was found to be 5.0, and about 80% of yield was obtained when 200g/$\ell$ of glucose was used as a substrate, which showed sugar tolerant. As the additives and cross-linking agent, the addition of 1.67%(w/v) Celite R-634 together with 0.33%(v/v) of glutaraldehyde(ACG bead) resulted in better stability, ethanol productivity and cell viability than Ca-alginate bead. Also, ACG bead seemed to be more resistant to phosphate ion than Ca-alginate bead, considering outgrowing cell concentration in the media. Scanning electron microscopic observation depicted that the surface of ACG bead was almost similar to the original state but not for Ca-alginate bead. When repealpd-batch culture was performed with Ca-alginate bead for 60 days in a 500m1 Erlenmeyer flask, ethanol and cell concentration were maintained about 138g/$\ell$-gel and 29~30g/$\ell$-gel, respectively, up to 40 days(7th run number), and then both were rapidly decreased. In the case of ACG bead, ethanol and cell concentration were maintained about 130~150g/$\ell$-gel and 32~35g/$\ell$-gel, respectively, up to 60days(10th run number). Cell viability was maintained about 70%, and outgrowing cell concentration was below 5.8% of total cell concentration.

에탄올 생산 효모균주인 Saccharomyces K35의 에탄올 생산을 위한 최적의 초기 pH는 5.0으로 나 타났으며, 기질로 200g/$\ell$ 의 glucose를 이 용했을때 약 80%의 수율을 나타내어 내당성도 좋은 것으로 나타났다. 첨가제와 가교제로서 Celite R-634 1.67 %(v/v) 와 glutaraldehyde 1.67% (v/v) 를 함께 첨가했을때(ACG bead) Ca-alginate bead에 비해 안정성, 에탄올 생산성 빛 세포생존률이 좋게 나타 났다. 또한 배지밖에서 자란 효모 농도도 감소하여 A A CG bead가 Ca-alginate bead보다 phosphate이 온에 더 안정한 것으로 보인다. SEM (Scanning E Electron Microscopy)을 통해 ACG gel bead의 구조를 관찰하였는데 , ACG bead가 Ca~alginate bead에 비해 훨씬 온전한 모습을 유지하며, 효모의 농도가 상당히 밀집되어 있음을 보여준다. 반복회분 식 배양을 시도했을때 Ca-alginate bead의 경우는 7회분(약 40일)까지는 에탄올 놓도와 효모농도가 각각 138g/$\ell$-gel와 29~30g/$\ell$-gel을 유지하다가 급격히 감소하는 경향을 보였으나, ACG bead의 경 우에는 130~150g/$\ell$-gel와 32~35g/$\ell$-gel의 수준을 유지하였으며, 세포생존률도 약 70% 이상을 유지하였다.
