Screening and Identification of cellulolytic bacteria in the rumen of Korean native cattle

한우의 반추위로부터 섬유소 분해균의 탐색 및 동정

Cellulase producing microorganisms, GPC-1, GPC-2, GNR-1 GNR-2, and GNR-3, were screened from the Rumen fluid of Korean Native Cattle. Isolated GPC-1 and GPC-2 were identified as Ruminococcus sp. according to results of the Gram stain and anaerobic characteristics. Based on morphological and physicochemical identification, the isolate GPC-1 and GPC-2 were identified as strains of Ruminococcus albus and Ruminococcus flavefaciens, respectively. Isolated GNR-1 GNR-2 and GNR-3 were identified as Bacteroides sp., Butyrivibrio sp. and Clostridium sp. according to results of the Gram stain, $H_2S$ producition and spore formation, respectively. Based on morphological and physicochemical identification, the isolate GNR-1 GNR-2 and GNR-3 were identified as strains of Bacteroides succinogenes, Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens and Clostridium cellobioparum, respectively.

한우의 반추위액에서 섬유소를 분해하는 균주 GPC-1, GPC-2, GNR-1, GNR-2, GNR-3를 선별하였다. 분리주 GPC-1과 GPC-2는 Gram 양성구균이며 편성혐기균으로서 Ruminococcus속으로 분류되었다. 분리주 GNR-1, GNR-2 및 GNR-3는 Gram 음성 간균이며 혐기균으로서 내생포자형성 유무에 따라 포자 형성균인 GNR-3는 Clostridium속으로 분류하고 포자를 형성하지 않은 균은 $H_2S$ 생성유무에 따라 Bacteroides 속과 Butyrivibrio 속으로 분류되었다. 종수준의 동정을 위하여 당분해능과 생화학적 조사를 통하여 GPC-1는 Ruminococcus albus로, GPC-2는 Ruminococcus flavefaciens로, GNR-1는 Bacteroides succinogenes로, GNR-2는 Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens로, GNR-3는 Clostridium cellobioparum로 각각 동정하였다.
