Abstract

A ploygalacturonase-produchg yeast was isolated from Cheju soil by selective eivichment media. One strain which has the highesl activity of polygalacturonase was selected. The characle~ishcs of the strain CS-2 were as follows: CS-2 utilized xylose. sucrose, maltose, u.ehalose, cellobiose. melibiose, lactose, raffinose, inosiiol, dulicilol, and dextrose, but did not utilized galactose, nitrate. nit~te, and lysine. Growth of CS-2 was inhibited by cyclohexamide, 1% acetic acid, and high concenaation (over 50%) of glucose. It grew at $30^{\circ}C$ but did 'IIOL $35^{\circ}C$. The cell size ofthe strain CS-2 was 2.9 p ~ n in length and 1.3 $\mu$ in diameter. Vegetable reproductmn was multiple budding and ascospre was present I to 4. Pseudomycelia or true myceliua formation were not observed In any of the cullureq. These results suggest that strain CS-2 is most likely a strain related Cryptococcus spp. (Cryptococcu spp. CS-2). When polygalacturonase or ihe yeast was induced by addition of polygalactoronic acid, polygalacturonase activity was detected in culture supernatent. There was a peak of specific activity a1 he mid-stationary phase(3 days culture) of growth. Polygalacturonase specific activity of Crylmcoccus sp. CS-2 was 2.96 unitsling. The molecular weighl ol'polygalacturonase was showed to be 46 KDa by both SDS-PAGE and activity stailling.

제주도 밀감 과수원의 토양으로부터 polygalacturonase 고생산 효모를 분리하였다. 분리된 strain CS-2 의 생리화학적인 실험을 수행한 결과 분리균주는 Diazonium bule B color test 와 urease test에서 양성반응, acetic acid, citrate acid 생성 시험, gelatin 분해시험, fat 분해시험에서는 음성반응을 나타났고, 탄소원의 조사에서 galactose를 탄소원으로 이용할 수 없었고, 질소원은 모두 이용할 수 없었다. 또한 $30^{\circ}C$ 에서는 성장하는 반면, $35^{\circ}C$ 이상에서는 성장을 하지 못하였고 50% 이상의 glucose 농도, 0.01% cyclohexamide 그리고 1% acetic acid에서 성장을 하지 못하였다. 현미경을 이용한 형태학적 관찰 결과, 크기는 $1.3{\times}2.9$$\mu$m인 타원형으로 관찰되었다, ,multiple budding을 하며 ascospore는 존재하는 반면 pseudomycelium과 true mycelium 은 존재하지 않았다. 이와 같은 결과를 종합하여 Cryptococcus 속의 특징과 유사함을 알 수 있었다. 분리된 Cryptococcus sp. CS-2 의 polygalacturonase 는 유도적으로 합성되어 catabolic repression 에 의해 조절됨을 알 수 있었으며, 3일 배양시 가장 높은 활성도를 나타내었으며, 고유 활성도는 2.50~2.55 units/mg 으로 나타났다. 이러한 polygalacturonase를 SDS-PAGE, activity staining 그리고 단일 탄소원에 따른 단백질 양상의 변화를 비교하여 분자량 측정한 결과 약 46KDa으로 나타났다.
