초록

The rumen ecosystem is increasingly being recognized as a promising source of superior polysaccharide-degrading enzymes. They contain a wide array of novel enzymes at the levels of specific activities of 1,184, 1,069, 119, 390, 327 and $946{\mu}mol$ Reducing sugar release/min/mg protein for endoglucanase, xylanase, polygalactouronase, amylase, glucanase and arabinase, respectively. These enzymes are mainly located in the surface of rumen microbes. However, glycoside-degrading enzymes (e.g. glucosidase, fucosidase, xylosidase and arabinofuranosidase, etc.) are mainly located in the rumen fluid, when detected enzyme activities according to the ruminal compartments (e.g. enzymes in whole rumen contents, feed-associated enzymes, microbial cell-associated enzymes, and enzymes in the rumen fluid). Ruminal fungi are the primary contributors to high production of novel enzymes; the bacteria and protozoa also have important functions, but less central roles. The enzyme activities of bacteria, protozoa and fungi were detected 32.26, 19.21 and 47.60 mol glucose release/min/mL mediem for cellulose; 42.56, 14.96 and 64.93 mmol xylose release/min/mL medium after 48h incubation, respectively. The polysachharide-degrading enzyme activity of ruminal anaerobic fungi (e.g. Neocallimastix patriciarum and Piromyces communis, etc.) was much higher approximately 3~6 times than that of aerobic fungi (e.g. Tricoderma reesei, T. viridae and Aspergillus oryzae, etc.) used widely in industrial process. Therefore, the rumen ecosystem could be a growing source of novel enzymes having a tremendous potential for industrial applications.
