Abstract

Burkholderia sp. D5, a polyaromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs)-degrading bacterium, was isolated from oil-contaminated soil. The bacterium could utilize phenanthrene (Phe) as a sole carbon source but could not use pyrene (Pyr). However, the strain could degrade Pyr when a cosubstrate such as yeast extract (YE) was supplemented. The PAH degradation rate of the bacterium was enhanced by the addition of other organic materials such as YE, peptone and glucose. YE was a particularly effective additive in stimulating cell growth as well as PAH degradation. When 1 g-YE/L was supplemented into the basal salt medium (BSM) with 215 mg-Phe/L, the specific growth rate (0.28 h-1) and Phe-degrading rate (29.30 μmol/L/h) were enhanced approximately ten and two times more than those obtained in the BSM with 215 mg-Phe/L, respectively. Through kinetic analysis, the maximum specific growth rate (μmax) and PAH degrading rate (Vmax) for Phe were obtained as 0.34/h and 289 ${\mu}mol$/L/h, respectively. Also, μmax and Vmax for Pyr were 0.27 h-1 and 50 ${\mu}mol$/L/h, respectively. The degradation rates for each Phe (2.20 μmol/L/h) and Pyr (2.18 μmol/L/h) were lower in mixture substrates than in a single substrate (29.30 ${\mu}mol$/L/h and 9.58 ${\mu}mol$/L/h, respectively). Burkholderia sp. D5 can degrade Phe and Pyr contained in soil, and the PAH degradation rates in soil were 20.03 ${\mu}mol$/L/h for Phe and 1.09 ${\mu}mol$/L/h for Pyr.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs)를 분해하는 Burkholderia sp. D5를 유류 오염 토양으로 분리하였고, PAHs의 분해특성을 조사하였다. 분리균주는 유일 탄소원으로 phenanthrene(Phe)을 이용하여 생장이 가능하였고, pyrene (Pyr)을 유일 탄소원으로 이용하여 생장하지는 못하였으나 yeast extract(YE)를 공기질로 첨가해 준 조건에서는 Pyr를 분해할 수 있었다. 분리 균주의 PAH 분해속도는 YE, peptone 및 glucose의 첨가에 의해 향상되었으며, 특히 YE 첨가 효과가 가장 우수하였다. 무기염배지(BSM)에 215 mg-Phe/L와 1 g-YE/L를 첨가한 조건에서 Burkholderia sp. D5의 비생장속도(0.28/h)와 Phe 분해속도(29.30 ${\mu}mol$/L/h)는 YE를 첨가하지 않은 조건에서 얻은 비생장속도(0.02/h)와 Phe 분해속도(12.00 ${\mu}mol$/L/h)의 각각 10배 및 2배였다. Phe를 기질로 공급한 경우 최대 비생장속도(${\mu}$_max)와 최대 Phe분해속도(V_max)는 각각 0.34 h-1 및 89 ${\mu}mol$/L/h 이었고. Pyr을 기질로 공급한 경우 ${\mu}$_max와 V_max는 각각 0.27 h-1 및 50 ${\mu}mol$/L/h이었다. Phe 혹은 Pyr 단독 기질하에서 분해속도와 비교 하였을 때(29.30 ${\mu}mol$-Phe L/h, 9.58 ${\mu}mol$-Pyr L/h), 두 기질의 혼합조건에서 Phe와 Pyr 분해속도는 각각 2.20 및 2.18 ${\mu}mol$ L/ h로 저하되었다. Burkholderia sp. D5 균주는 토양에서 Phe와 Pyr을 분해할 수 있었는데, Phe와 Pyr 분해속도는 각각 20.03 및 1.09 ${\mu}mol$ L/h 이었다.
