Abstract

A galactose-fermenting yeasts, Saccharomyces cerevisiae No. 9, was selected by screening their abilities to produce carbon dioxide gas when grown on galactose. The selected strain, No. 9 and the reference strains NRRL Y-1528 which was exceptionally resistant to high concentration of substrate, were acclimated on sugars such as glucose, mannose, and galactose, and then their ethanol productivities were investigated during fermentation on these three carbon sources. Ethanol productivity of the strain No. 9 reached to the maximum levels after 18 h of fermentation and the ethanol yield was from 36 to 38% when presented as $[EtOH]_{max}/[Sugar]_{ini}(g/g)$, regardless of the conditions of acclimation. From the results obtained by acclimation and fermentation, it was concluded that the ethanol yields from galactose were not affected by the sugars acclimated. Improvements of the strain S. cerevisiae No. 9 were attempted to increase the fermentation efficiency and/or ethanol yields on high concentration of substrate by the conventional mutation methods employing methanesulfonic acid, ethyl ester (EMS). Mutants, Mut-5 (SJ1-40), -17 (LK4-25) and -24 (LK2-48) fermented galactose at the concentration of 20% in the levels of higher 39.9~51.6% than the mother strain, No. 9, however, their ethanol yields never exceeded those of the reference strain.

에탄올을 생성하는 고농도 galactose 발효 효모 Saccharomyces cerevisiae No. 9를 선발하여 비교균주인 S. cerevisiae NRRL Y-1528과 함께 glucose, mannose, galactose에서 순치배양하고, 이어서 이들 3개의 탄소원을 기질로 사용하여 발효 효율을 평가하였다. 모균주인 No. 9의 에탄올 생산은 초기 12시간에는 천천히 상승하다가 18시간 후에 가장 높은 수준에 도달하였으며, 그 수율은 $[EtOH]_{max}/Sugar]_{ini}(g/g)$을 퍼센트로 환산하였을 때 glucose, galactose, mannose의 3개 기질에서 비교용 균주 NRRL Y-1528와 비슷한 36~38%로 수준이었고 실험한 3 균주 모두 galactose 발효에 있어서 탄소원의 종류에 따라 순치배양 조건이 에탄올 수율에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 전통적인 EMS 처리에 의하여 모균주인 galactose 발효성 효모 S. cerevisiae No. 9로부터 에탄올 발효력이 향상된 변이주 Mut-5 (SJ1-40), -17 (LK4-25) 및 -24 (LK2-48) 3개주를 선발하였다. 기질인 10, 15, 20% galactose를 이용한 에탄올 발효능을 실험 하였을때 모균주 No. 9 및 변이주에서도 galactose의 농도를 증가시킬수록 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. Galactose 20% 농도에서 변이주는 모균주보다 에탄올 발효율이 39.9~51.6% 높았으나, 비교용 균주 S. cerevisiae NRRL Y-1528의 에탄올 발효력에는 미치지 못하였다.
