Abstract
Arthrobacter sp. A-6 was cultivated and DFA III(di-fructofuranose dianhydride) was produced with inulin fructotransferase from the chicory root. The specific growth rate, yield of cell mass and yield of enzyme from the culture in variable chicory root extracts were studied and the results compared. Standard inulin solution(10%) was treated with the crude enzyme solution of inulin fructotransferase from the cell culture, 1.14mg/ml of DFA III was produced. The enzyme reactions were processed with various preparations of chicory root extracts in the same conditions. The highest yield of DFA III production(2.29 mg/ml) was obtained from the chicory roots without washing or extraction. The yield of DFA III from the washed chicory roots without extraction was at lowest(0.44 mg/ml). The production process of inulin fructotransferase and DFA III from the chicory root without prewashing or extraction steps were more efficient.
Chicory 뿌리에서 Arthrobacter sp. A-6를 배양하여 inulin fructotransferase를 생산하였을 매 균주의 성장속도, 효소의 생산성을 검토하였다. 가공된 치커리 뿌리는 inulin fructotransferase의 crude enzyme solution으로 처리하였을 때 생산되는 di-fructofuranose dianhydride(DFA III)의 양을 chicory 뿌리의 가공방법에 따른 차이를 비교하였다. 우선 standard 배지에서 생산된 효소액으로 10%의 inulin이 포함된 standard inulin용액을 처리하면, 1.14mg/ml의 DFA III가 생산되었다. Chicory뿌리의 전처리방법에 따라, 같은 조건으로 반응을 진행시키는 실험을 통해 각 배지에서의 생산효율을 비교하였다. Chicory뿌리를 washing과 extraction과정을 거치지 않고 그대로 반응시켰을 경우, 2.29 mg/ml의 DFA III가 생산되어 생산성이 가장 높았는데, 이는 세척과정에서 inulin이 유실되지 않으므로, 기질로 작용하는 inulin의 양이 가장 높은 데 기인하는 것으로 생각된다.
