  • Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)(P(3HB)) accumulation under nutrient-rich condition with various amounts of $(NH_4)_2 SO_4$ was systematically investigated. The results of the electron-microscopy and the solvent extraction showed that the P(3HB) accumulation is unavoidable even under nutrient-rich condition. This indicates that in a two-step culture of Alcaligenes eutrophus H16, the researches should be careful in interpreting the data of polyhydroxyalkanoates(PHAs) accumulation in terms of the carbon-source fed in the second step because the two-step culture product contains the P(3HB) produced under nutrient-rich condition. The polyester production capability in a two-step batch culture of A. eutrophus H16(ATCC 17699) was also investigated using various saccharides and their derivatives such as glucose, fructose, gluconic acid, glucaric acid, sorbitol, lactose, galactose, and mannose. The polyesters synthesized were characterized by 500 MHz$^{1}H-NMR$ spectroscopy, intrinsic viscosity$[\eta]$ measurement in chloroform and differential scanning calorimetry(DSC). 500 MHz $^{1}H-NMR$ analysis showed that all polyesters synthesized generally contained 1~2 mol% of 3HV. Another finding is that the glucose utilization can be increased by changing the autoclaving procedure of the substrate to enhance the P(3HB) production yield up to 46 wt% of P(3HB) in dry cells.

  • SA-TSA 복합구를 이용해 폐활성슬러지로부터 VFAs를 생산하고, 이를 발효 기질로 이용해 PHA를 생산하기 위한 실험을 수행하였다. 30%의 SA-TSA 복합구를 처리하였을 때 폐활성슬러지의 가용화 효율이 가장 효과적으로 일어나서 약 3,900 mg/L의 SCOD값을 얻었으며, acetic acid, propionic acid, iso-butyric acid 및 butyric acid를 주성분으로 하는 2,961 mg/L 농도의 VFAs를 얻었다. VFAs를 외부탄소원으로 이용하는 SBR 공정을 통해 PHA를 생합성하는 미생물을 농화배양하는 실험을 수행하고 PCR-DGGE로 분석한 결과, 우점 미생물로 Vibrio spp.와 Corynebacterium glutamicum이 확인되었다. 폐활성슬러지로부터 얻은 VFAs를 탄소원으로 사용하여 농화된 혼합미생물배양체를 회분배양한 결과, 건체량의 25.9%에 달하는 PHB를 얻었다. 본 연구결과는 SA-TSA 복합구를 이용하여 폐활성슬러지로부터 VFAs를 얻음으로써 폐슬러지 감량화 효과를 얻고, 또 혼합미생물배양체를 이용하여 VFAs를 바이오폴리머로 전환함으로써 경제성을 확보할 수 있는 새로운 생물공정의 가능성을 보여준다.
