Studies on Isolation of a Lytic Fungi and Optimization of the Lytic Enzyme Production

효모세포벽 분해효소 생산균의 분리(分離), 동정(同定) 및 효소생산에 관한 연구

A potent lytic strain was selected by an extensive screening test of microorganisms isolated from soils and sewages on the medium containing baker's yeast as a carbon source. This strain (M-10) was identified to a strain of Humicola sp. by the Genera of Fungi (Clements, 1964). The strain was cultured on the basal medium composed of 2% of baker's yeast, 0.3% of $K_2HPO_4$, 0.01% of $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$, 0.1% of yeast extract in a shaking incubator. Cultural conditions for lytic enzyme production has been studied, and the results obtained were as follows: 1. The Optimal conditions for lytic enzyme production were: initial pH 5.5 to 6.0, temperature $33^{\circ}C$ in shaking culture. 2. Among the various carbon sources, baker's yeast (4%) was the best for lytic enzyme production, increasing the level of activity eight, times higher than when grown on glucose (1%). 3. The most effective concentration of $K_2HPO_4\;and\;MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$ in the basal medium for lytic enzyme production was 0.1% and 0.01% respectively. 4. When the strain was cultured under the optimal conditions, the production of lytic enzyme was maximized in 72 hours.

효모세포벽 분해효소를 생산하는 386주(株)의 미생물을 분리하여 그중 강한 1주(株)를 선발 동정(同定)하고 선정균의 효소생산조건을 검토하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 선정한 M-10 strain은 Humicola sp.로 동정(同定) 되었다. 2. 선정균의 효소생성은 pH 6.0 $33^{\circ}C$에서 가장 양호하였다. 3. 탄소원으로서 baker's yeast 4%가 Iytic enzyme 생산에 가장좋았고 기타 laminarin과 dextrin 등이 효과적이었으며 질소원도 peptone이 다소 효과적이나 baker's yeast로서 족하였다. 4. 효소생산에 $K_2HPO_4$ 0.1%와 $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$ 0.01%의 첨가가 가장 효과적이고 기타 염류의 첨가는 효과가 없었다. 5. 선정한 배지조성에서 72시간 진탕배양으로 최고에 달하였다.
