회분식 및 연속식 배양시 Nisin의 생산특성

Process Kinetics of Nisin Production in Batch and Continuous Culture

Streptococcus lactis IFO 12007의 nisin 생산을 위한 발효조건을 검토하였다. Nisin 생성을 위한 포도당의 농도는 60g/ι이며 pH와 온도는 각각 6.5와 3$0^{\circ}C$이었다. 이 조건에서 최대 2,000IU/$m\ell$의 생산량을 보이며 이 때 specific glucose uptake rate: 0.59g/g/h, specific nisin productivity는 34924iu/g/h, growth yield는 0.24, 7시간 후 균체 생산량은 4.81g/ι이었다. 비성장속도는 온도와 pH에 의하여 영향을 많이 받으며 증식활성화 에너지는 1.35kca1/ mole이었다. 유가배양에 의하여 1420IU/$m\ell$의 nisin을 생산하며 연속배양은 0.38h$^{-1}$까지 가능하고 이때 nisin 농도는 740IU/m1, specific nisin productivity는 45000IU/g/h, true growth yield 는 0.144, maintenance energy는 207mg glucose/g-cell/h 이었다.

Fermentation condition of Streptococcus lactis IFO 12007 for nisin production was examined. The optimal glucose concentration was 60g/ι. The pH and temperature optimum were 6.5 and 31$^{\circ}C$, respectively. The maximum nisin activity in batch culture was 2000IU/$m\ell$. The fermentation quotients after 7 hours of fermentation in batch culture were; specific glucose uptake rate:0.59g/g/h , specific nisin productivity: 34924IU/g/h, product yield: 5944IU/g, growth yield:0.24, biomass:4.81g/ι. The specific growth rate was affected by pH and temperature and the activation energy for growth was 1.35kcal/mole. pH control was essential for nisin production. Fed-batch culture using 20g/$\ell$ glucose medium produced 1420IU/$m\ell$ after 14 hours. The continuous culture could be operated at below 0.38h$^{-1}$ for nisin production. The steady state nisin concentration and specific nisin productivity were 740IU/$m\ell$ and 45000IU/g/h. The growth yield and maintenance energy were 0.144 and 207mg glucose/g-cell/h.
