Abstract

To remove excess nitrate from the agricultural environments, Enterobacter amnigenus GG0461 has been isolated as a bacterial strain having high capability of nitrate uptake activity. This strain was able to remove nitrate more than 3,000 ppm (50 mM) in the Pseudomonas agar F (PAF) medium. Therefore, it could be a candidate strain for a nitrate scavenger in the various contaminated environments, such as agricultural soils, livestock sewage, and industrial wastewater. In order to develop medium for the large-scale production of the strain GG0461, each component of PAF medium was replaced with the corresponding commercial product and the optimal conditions for bacterial growth and nitrate uptake activity were measured. Glycerol was replaced with the commercially available product and the nitrogen source was substituted with commercial tryptone, yeast extract, soybean meal, and fermented fish extract. Bacterial growth and nitrate uptake activity were maximal in the media containing 2% tryptone, followed by yeast extract, soybean meal, and fermented fish extract. The pH of the growth medium containing 2% tryptone was decreased by the bacterial nitrate uptake, suggesting that the nitrate uptake is mediated by a nitrate/proton antiporter. This result shows that the medium containing commercial tryptone was good enough for the physiological activity of the strain GG0461. Each component of PAF medium was successfully replaced with the corresponding commercial product except peptone. In conclusion, the composition of medium for the cultivation of the strain GG0461 was determined as 2% tryptone, 1% glycerol, plus required salts according to the composition of PAF medium.

농업 환경 중에 과잉으로 축적한 질산이온의 제거를 위하여, 질산이온 흡수력이 우수한 Enterobacter amnigenus GG0461 균주를 분리하였다. 이 균주는 Pseudomonas agar F (PAF) 배지에 배양하였을 때, 3,000 ppm (50 mM) 이상의 질산이온 흡수가 가능하므로, 농업용 토양, 축산폐수, 산업폐수를 포함한 오염된 환경의 질산이온 제거를 위한 좋은 후보 균주가 될 수 있다. GG0461 균주의 대량생산을 위한 상업용 배지를 개발하기 위하여 PAF 배지 성분을 상업용 재료로 대체하고, 균주의 성장과 질산이온 흡수 활력을 측정하였다. 탄소원인 글리세롤은 상업용 제품으로 대체하였고, 질소원으로 tryptone과 효모추출물, 대두박, 생선발효액을 배양실험에 사용하였다. 균주의 성장과 질산이온 흡수활력은 2% tryptone을 첨가한 배지에서 가장 우수하였고, 효모추출물, 대두박, 생선발효액의 순으로 효과가 나타났다. Tryptone을 2% 첨가한 배지에서 균주의 질산이온 흡수는 배지의 pH를 낮추었으며, 이것은 질산이온의 흡수가 nitrate/proton antiporter의 활성으로 나타남을 의미한다. 이상의 결과에서 상업용 tryptone을 사용한 배지는 균주의 생리활성에 적합하였으며, peptone을 제외한 PAF 배지의 각 성분은 그것에 해당하는 상업용 재료로 대체할 수 있었다. 결론적으로, GG0461 균주의 배양을 위한 상업용 배지성분 조성은 2% tryptone과 1% glycerol, PAF 배지를 위한 무기이온들로 결정하였다.
