Abstract

Azotobacter vinelandii UWD synthesizes poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV), one of the biodegradable polymers, when odd and even number carbon sources are simultaneously added to a medium. In this study, we investigated the specific growth rate of Azotobacter vinelandii UWD on propionic acid and valeric acid. The specific growth rates were $0.183 hr^{-1} and 0.137 hr^{-1}$ at 1.0∼1.5 g/L of propionic acid and 1.0 g/L of valeric acid, respectively. When a mixture of 0.75 g/L of propionic acid and 0.5 g/L of valeric acid was added to the medium, the specific growth rate was 0.196 hr(sup)-1, which was equal to or higher than those of the individual organic acids. Among 10∼50 g/L of glucose cell growth was best at 20 g/L.

Azotobacter vinelandii uwn는 배지에 짝수의 탄소원외에 홀수의 탄소원을 첨가했을 때 생분해성 고분자인 PHBV를 합성한다. 본 실험에서는 propionic acid와 valerie acid를 첨가 한 후 세포생장과 비생장속도를 관찰하였다. Propionic acid 농도가 1.0 -1.5 g/L, valerie acid 농도가 1.0 g/L일 때 세포 생장이 다른 농도에서보다 높았으며, 이때의 비생장속도는 각각 $0.183 hr^{-1}, 0.137 hr^{-1}$이었다. 그리고 이들 유기산을 각각 0 0.75 g/L, 0.5 g/L 혼합하여 배지중에 넣었을 때 비생장속도 는 유기산을 단독으로 첨가한 경우보다 높게 나타났다. 포도당 농도가 10~50 g/L 에서 실험한 결과 20 g/L 일 때 생장 속도가 가장 높았다.
