Studies on the Population of Toxigenic Fungi in Dried-Persimmon -Screen test of Aflatoxin-

저장건시 중의 유독성 곰팡이에 관한 연구 -Aflatoxin 유무의 검색에 관하여-

Microorganisms growing on Dried-Persimmon have heed isolated ana identified. Fluorescent substance were extracted from a putrefactive Dried-Persimmon after invaded Toxigenic Fungi, and compared with Aflatoxin by Thin layer chromatography and u. v. absorption spectra. The results obtained were summarized as follows: 1) Fungal invasion was frequently appeared at the beginning of storage, and after then Bacteria invasion was followed. 2) Several Genera of microorganisms (Aspergillus sp., Escherichia sp., Mucor sp., Alternaria sp., Penicillium sp. ) were observed in Dried-persimmon during storage. Aspergillus sp., one of all Genus was predominant. 3) Two strains (Aspergillus flavus Group, Penicillium citrimum Series) of 6 Fungi had Fluorescent substance, which was presumed Aflatoxin-like substance. 4) The Rf value of T. L. C. ana λ max of u. v. absorption spectra showed the same value as the standard of Aflatoxin. It is suppose that the Fluorescent substance in Dried-Persimmon is a Aflatoxin-like substance.

건시 저장 중 부패미생물을 분리동정하고, 유독성 곰팡이의 Aflatoxin 생성 여부를 검사한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) 건시 저장 초기에는 곰팡이가, 저장기간이 길어짐에 따라 세균의 침해가 많았다. 2) 분리 동정한 부패 미생물의 균수는 Asp. sp.가 가장 많았고, Escherichia sp., Mucor sp., Alternaria sp., Penicillium sp. 순으로 많았다. 3) 분리 균주 중 Aspergillus flavus Group과 Penicillium citrimum Series도 동정된 균에서와 저장건시에서 분리한 형광물질은 TLC 상에서의 Rf 값으로 보아 Aflatoxin B$_1$, G$_1$유사물질로 추정하였다. 4) 유시시료 또는 분리균주에서 분리된 Aflatoxin 유사물질은 U. V. absorption spectra 측정 결과 Asp. flavus Group에서 Aflatoxin B$_1$, Pen. citrinum Series 에서 Aflatoxin G$_1$으로 확인되었다. 이것은 앞으로 계속 더 구명하여야 하겠다.
