Abstract

This study was to isolate a bacterium producing a alkaline protease from mud flats of the west seaside of Korea and to investigate the biochemical analysis of the alkaline protease producing from the isolate. The isolate was named as Gelidibacter sp. HK-1 based on 16S rRNA sequence, Gram staining and the photograph of electron microsceope. Optimum temperature for growth and pretense production of the isolate was $25^{\circ}C$. Growth of the isolate was reached at stationary phase after 10hrs followed by inoculation. Maximum activity of protease produced from the isolate was shown after 14hrs. Optimum temperature and pH for the protease activity were $45^{\circ}C$ and pH 9, respectively. Molecular weight of the pretense was about 50KD and the partial amino acid sequence of the pretense was Ala-Try-Ala-Leu-Asn-Thr-Ser-Val-Thr-Glu-Thr-Phe-Ala-Lys. The partial amino acid sequences of the protease showed significant homology with a pretense produced from Streptomyces avermitilis.

본 연구는 대한민국 서해안 갯벌로부터 알칼리성 단백질 분해 효소를 생산하는 세균을 분리하고 분리된 세균으로부터 생산되는 단백질 분해 효소의 생화학적 특징을 조사하는 것이다. 분리 균주는 16S rRNA의 염기 서열, 그람 염색과 전자 현미경사진을 통해 Celidibacter sp. HK-1으로 명명하였다. 분리 균주의 증식과 pretense 생산을 위한 최적 온도는 $25^{\circ}C$이었다. 분리 균주의 증식은 접종 10시간후에 stationary phase에 도달하였다. 효소 생산은 14시간 후 최대 값을 보였다. 효소 활성의 최적 온도와 pH는 각각 $45^{\circ}C$와 pH 9이었다. Pretense의 분자량은 약 50KD이었고 pretense의 부분적인 아미노산 서열은 Ala-Try-Ala-Leu-Asn-Thr-Ser-Val-Thr-Glu-Thr-Phe-Ala-Lys이었다. Protease의 부분적인 아미노산 서열은 Streptomyces avemitilis의 pretense와 높은 상동성을 보였다.
