Abstract

Effects of several different petroleum fractions (LGO, HGO, VGO, Diesel oil, SP(E), HGO-wax, L/M-wax), stepwise addition of calculated amounts of HGO at defined intervals, recycling of spent media on cell growth of Candida tropicalis KIST 351 were studied using $2.5{\ell}$ fermenter by batch process. In addition, continuous cultivation of the yeast was also performed in the light of biomass production using $28{\ell}$ fermenter with LGO. 1) Cell concentration, yield on the basis of gas oil and n-paraffin with the petroleum fractions were in the range of $11{\sim}15g/{\ell}$, $10{\sim}12%$ and $77{\sim}82%$, respectively. 2) By stepwise addition of the gas oil, cell concentration and yield on the oil were increased up to 18.9 g/land 13%, respectively. 3) Spent medium slowed emulsifying ability of hydrocarbon and stimulating effect on the cell growth. Without additional supplementation of $Mg^{++}$ up to 20% of spent medium could be reused, while by adding of the $Mg^{++}$, 50% of medium could be recycled. 4) Optimum condition of continuous cultivation for biomass production was attained at the dilution rate of $D=0.1{\sim}0.125\;hr^{-1}$. Maximum yield coefficient on consumed n-paraffin was 0.94 at $D=0.1\;hr^{-1}$, however, 24% of supplied n-paraffin in the media was not utilized at this dilution rate.

Candida tropicalis KIST 351을 $2.5{\ell}$$28{\ell}$ 발효조에시 배양하여 석유 유분별자화능, 석유탄화수소기질의 즉차적 유가배양(流加培養), 폐배지(spent medium)의 재사용 및 연속배양 등 배양기술적인 기초문제를 검토한 바 그 개요는 다음과 같다. (1) 각종 경유유분(LGO, HGO, VGO, Diesel oil, SP(E), HGO-wax, L/M-wax)에 있어저 균체농도는 $11{\sim}15g/{\ell}$, 경유에 대한 수율은 $10{\sim}12%$, 소비된 n-paraffin에 대한 수율은 $77{\sim}82%$였다. (2) 동 균주를 유가배양 함으로써 균체들 배지에 대하여 $18.9g/{\ell}$, 경유에 대한 수율을 13%로 향상시킬 수 있었다. (3) 폐배지는 탄화수소를 유화시키고 증식을 촉친하는 효과를 가지고 있었으며 $Mg^{++}$를 보충하지 않었을 때는 20%, 보충하였을 때는 50%까지 회수 재 사용 할 수 있었다. (4) 균체생산을 위한 연속배양의 최적희석율은 $D=0.1{\sim}0.125\;hr^{-1}$의 범위내에 있으며, 이때의 균체농도는 약 $8g/{\ell}$였고, $D=0.125\;hr^{-1}$에서의 균체생산속도는 $1.0\;g/{\ell}/hr$로써 최대치에 달하였다. 소비된 경유 중의 n-paraffin에 대한 균체수율은 $D=0.1\;hr^{-1}$에서 0.94로써 최대치를 보였다. 그러나 희석율 $0.1\;hr^{-1}$에서 공급된 n-paraffin의 약 24%가 기질로써 소비 되지 않었으므로 이에 대한 적절한 대책이 요구된다.
