Abstract

We investigated the effective culture conditions of anaerobic bacteria, Enterobacter cloacae YJ-1 on hydrogen production. It was cultured with 60 mL of working volume at $35^{\circ}C$, 120 rpm for 40 h. With culture time, hydrogen production and cell growth increased, but residual glucose and pH decreased. When the $2\%$ of glucose was used as single carbon source, hydrogen production was 975.1 mL/L. To enhance hydrogen productivity, mixed carbon sources of glucose and sucrose were added. The maximum hydrogen production was earned at the mixing ratio of 25:75, and it was 1319.5 mL/L. When we added 50 mM of phosphate to protect the pH drop in culture broth, hydrogen production increased 1.3 times more than that of initial concentration. The organic nitrogen sources were more effective than inorganic nitrogen for hydrogen production. Among organic nitrogen, yeast extract was the most effective and its hydrogen production was 1691.3 mL/L. Among 9 of mineral sources, Ferric citrate and $NaMoO_4$ were especially effective, and their productions were 1782.3 mL/L and 1784.8 mL/L, respectively.

수소생산을 증진하기 위하여 탄소원의 농도가 수소생산에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 단일당으로 glucose를 이용하였을 때 최적 농도는 $2\%$로서 975.1 mL을 생산하였다. 혼합당을 이용하여 수소생산을 향상시킬 목적으로 그 혼합비를 조사한 결과 glucose와 sucrose의 비가 25 : 75이었을 때 가장 높은 수준을 보였다. 수소를 생산할 때 기질의 발효가 진행됨에 따라 배양액의 pH 저하가 생겨 세포성장에 영향을 주게 된다. 인산염의 첨가로 pH 저하에 따른 완충작용을 하여 생산능이 향상되었음을 확인할 수 있었다. 특히 회분식 배양시에는 배양액의 유출이 없기 때문에 수율을 향상하기 위하여 적절한 농도의 인산염의 첨가가 필수적이다. 미네랄의 영향을 시험하기 위하여 배지에 각종 미네랄원을 첨가하여 그 영향을 조사한 결과 $CuCl_2$와 $NiCl_2$을 제외하고 모두 높은 수소생산성을 나타내었다. 그 중에서도 Ferric citrate와 $Na_{2}MoO_4$에서 더 많은 수소가 생산됨이 확인되었다. 이는 수소생산에 있어 Ferric citrate와 $Na_{2}MoO_4$가 중요한 요소라고 생각된다. 반대로 $CuCl_2$와 $NiCl_2$는 필수적인 물질이 아님을 보여준다. 따라서 이들 Ferric Citrate와 $Na_{2}MoO_4$을 첨가하여 수소생산을 증가시키는 원인으로 앞으로 세밀히 관여한 효소의 생리적 역할에 많은 연구가 필요하다.
