초록

R. sphaeroides K-7에 의한 수소 생성에 미치는 생리적 조건을 조사한 결과 수소생성은 혐기성조건하에서 $30^{\circ}C$, pH 6.8-7.0s 조명도 약 12,000 lux을 쉰지하였을 때 할발히 이루어지는 것으로 내타났다. 아미노산으로서는 글루타민산, 유기산으로는 초산, 젖산, 혹은 사과산을 이용했을 때 높은 수소생성이 나타났으며 포도당과 같은 당류에서도 수소생성이 이루어졌다. 휴지기 세포는 약 40일 보관후에도 90% 정도의 수소생성능을 유지하고 있었다.

Physiological conditions for hydrogen evolution by Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides K-7 are examined. Larger amount of molecular hydrogen was evolved at $30^{\circ}C$, pH6.8-7.0 under anaerobically illuminated condition of about 12, 000 lux by the organism. The heighest rates of hydrogen evolution were observed in the culture with the organic acids such as acetate, DL-lactate or DL-malate in media containing L-glutamate as a nitrogen source. Hydrogen was also evolved from glucose with the rate of $178.9\;{\mu}l/hr/mg$ cells (dry weight). When glucose was adopted a a sole carbon source, however, conside erable time lag of about 20hours was required for hydrogen evolution. The resting cells stored at $30^{\circ}C$ under argon maintained the rate of hydrogen evolution in nearly about 90% of initial one even 40 days of storation.
