Abstract

Cultural conditions for the biopolymer production by an alkali tolerant Bacillus sp. isolated from soil were investigated and determination of optimal conditions was carried out by response surface method. The maximal production of biopolymer was obtained after cultivation at $30^{\circ}C$ for 36hrs in the mixture of 8% soluble starch, 0.75% yeast extract, 0.1% $NaNO_3$, 0.05% $MgSO_4\;7H_2O$ and 1% $Na_2CO_3$ adjusted to pH 10. Under these conditions, about 44 g/l of biopolymer were produced. From the results of response surface analysis, optimal condition for the production of biopolymer were obtained at stationary point with 15.16 of C/N ratio, $34.62^{\circ}C$ of temperature and 9.50 of pH. On the basis of these conditions, it was estimated that 66.84 g/l of the biopolymer could be produced.

토양으로부터 생물고분자의 생산균주로 분리한 알칼리 내성 Bacillus sp.의 생물고분자 생산을 위한 최적 배양조건을 검토하였고, 반응 표면분석법에 의한 생산 최적화를 수행하였다. 최대의 생물고분자 생산은 soluble starch 8%, yeast extract 0.75%, $NaNO_3$ 0.1%, $MgSO_4\;7H_2O$ 0.05% 및 $Na_2CO_3$ 1%(pH 10)의 조성배지에서 배양온도 $30^{\circ}C$로 36시간 이상 진탕배양하였을 때 얻어졌으며, 이때의 생물고분자 생산량은 약 44g/l(대당수율로는 약 55%)이었다. C/N비, 온도 및 pH를 독립변수로 한 반응 표면분석에 의한 생물고분자 생산의 최적조건은 C/N비 15.16, 배양온도 $34.62^{\circ}C$ 및 pH 9.50의 정상점에서 얻어졌으며, 이 조건에서 생물고분자의 생산량은 66.84g/l로 추정 되었다.
