Abstract

Pseudomnas sp. HJ-2 is capable of producing a rubber-elastic polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) consisting of 3- hydroxybutyrate (3HB), 3-hydroxyvalerate (3HV), and 3-hydroxyheptanoate (3HHp) from heptanoic acid as the sole carbon source. The polyester produced was a blend of poly(3HB-co-3HV) and poly(3HHp). Although the mixing of poly(3HHp) fraction to poly(3HB-co-3HV) resulted in a decrease of modulus, the sole fraction of poly(3HB-co-3HV) with a high molar fraction of 3HV was shown to be an elastomer with the maximum percent strain of 740%. The biomass yield and the PHA synthesis were relatively high when the initial heptanoic acid concentration was 40 mM, and were significantly decreased when the substrate concentration exceeded 50 mM. The accumulation of PHA was stimulated by deficiency of nitrogen and phosphorus in the medium. The PHA contents and its monomeric compositions were greatly affected by pH and oxygen transfer rate. At pH 7.5, poly(3HB-~0.38% 3HV) was produced from heptanoic acid and a mixture of 95% 3HHp and 5% 3HV was produced at pH 8.0. Increased conten1 of 3HHp in the polyesters with lhe increasing oxygen transfer rate by agitation speed a1 a fixed aeration rate was observed.

Pseudomonas sp. HJ-2는 heptanoinc acid를 단일탄소원으로 이용하여 3-hydroxybutyrate (3HB),3-hydroxy-velerate (3HV) 및 3-hydroxybutyrate (3HHp)를 구성 단위체로 하는 고무탄성 polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA)를 생합성한다. 이 미생물 고분자는 poly(3HB-co-3HV)공중합체와 poly(3HHp) 단일중합체로 이루어진 혼합물임이 밝혀졌다. 본 연구에서는 PHA가 고무탄성체로서의 성질을 유지하는데 필용한 단위체 조성과 HJ-2의 배양조건이 PHA의 생산 및 단위체 조성에 미치는 영향에 대하여 조사하였다. 생합성된 PHA의 탄성률은 poly(3HHp)의 존재로 크게 감소되었으나, 3HV의 함량이 높은 poly(3HB-co-3HV) 자체도 최대변형률 740%로서 고무탄성체로서의 성질을 보였다. HJ-2의 생장 및 PHA 생합성은 탄소원인 heptanoic acid의 초기농도가 40mMdlfEo 가장 높았으나, 50mM의 농도에서는 큰 저해를 받았다. PHA 생합성은 질소와 인이 결핍된 조건에서 크게 증가되었다. 배양액의 pH 및 통기는 HJ-2로부터 생합성되는 PHA의 단위체 조성에 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. pH 7.5에서 생합성되는 고분자는 poly(3HB-co-38% 3HV)인 반면에 pH8.0에서의 고분자는 3HHp가 95%를 차지하였다. 발효조의 교반속도를 달리한 실험의 결과 고분자 내 3HHp의 함량은 산소전달 속도가 높아질수록 증가하였다.
