Abstract

An agar-liquefying bacteria (SC-22), which produces a diffusible agarase that caused agar softening around the colony was isolated from Daecheong lake in Korea. Chemotaxanomic and phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed the strain was classified as Cellvibrio mixtus SC-22. The isolate SC-22 showed maximal extracellular agarase activity with 58.5 U/mL after 48 h cultivation in the presence of 0.2% agar. It was observed that the isolate produced two kinds of extracellular and three kinds of intracellular isoenzymes. The major agarase was purified from the culture filtrate of agarolytic bacteria by ammonium sulfate precipitation, anion exchange and gel filtration column chromatographic methods. The molecular mass of the purified enzyme was estimated to be 25 kDa by SDS-PAGE. The optimum pH and temperature of the purified enzyme were pH 7.0 and $50^{\circ}C$, respectively. The agarase activity was activated by $Fe^{2+}$, $Na^+$ and $Ca^{2+}$ ions while it was inhibited by $Hg^{2+}$, $Mn^{2+}$ and $Cu^{2+}$ at 1 mM concentration. The predominant hydrolysis product of agarose by the enzyme was galactose and disaccharide on TLC, indicating the cleavage of $\beta$-1,4 linkage in a random manner. The enzyme showed high substrate specificity for only agar and agarose among various polysaccharides.

한천분해세균 SC-22균을 대전 대청댐부근의 담수에서 분리하였다. 생화학적 분석 및 16S rRNA 염기서열 분석을 통한 계통학적 분류를 통해 SC-22는 Cellvibrio mixtus로 동정되었다. 분리균의 생육 및 agarase 효소 생성능을 검토한 결과, SC-22는 탄소원으로 0.2% agar를 첨가한 배지에서 배양 36시간에 최대 생육을, 배양 48시간에 58.5 units/mL의 최대 효소활성을 나타내었다. 분리균은 세포외 및 세포내 agarase를 생성하였으며, zymogram 실험에 의해 P1, P2 및 P3의 isoenzyme을 분비하는 것으로 확인 되었다. 배양여액으로부터 겔여과법과 이온교환수지법을 단계적으로 이용하여 SC-22 균주로부터 SDS-PAGE에 의해 25 kDa의 효소를 정제하였으며, 정제효소는 zymogram에서 확인된 주 단백질인 P2(29 kDa)과 동일한 단백질임이 확인되었다. 또한 정제한 agarase의 효소학적 성질을 검토한 결과, 효소의 최적 pH와 최적온도는 pH 7.0과 $50^{\circ}C$이었으며, 금속이온 효과의 경우 1 mM 농도의 수준에서도 $Fe^{2+}$, $Na^+$, $Ca^{2+}$ 이온 등은 정제효소의 활성을 10-20% 증가시킨 반면 $Hg^{2+}$, $Mn^{2+}$ 및 $Cu^{2+}$ 이온들은 효소 활성을 크게 저해하였다. 또한 TLC 분석을 통해 정제효소는 한천 분해 올리고당으로 주로 단당류와 이당류를 생성하므로 $\beta$-agarase의 작용특성을 보였다. 기질특이성 실험에서는 정제효소는 agar와 agarose만을 이용 하였고 유사 해조 다당류인 alginate는 물론 다른 다당류를 분해하지 못하였다.
