Abstract

Bacillus coagulans has been considered to be a prominent candidate for probiotics as well as a thermotolerant biomaterial producer. However, the species has not attracted the attention of Korean researchers, nor has it been commercialized in Korea. Therefore, isolates for functional studies are not readily available. To secure B. coagulans resources for future applications, we developed a rapid isolation method for the species from rice straw. Introduction of the enrichment culture at $50^{\circ}C$, the selection of acid producers with $CaCO_3$ supplemented medium, and the elimination of enterococci by selective medium, rendered the successful and rapid isolation of B. coagulans strains.

Bacillus coagulans는 프로바이오틱스 및 내열성 생물소재의 생산에 활용 가능성이 높은 미생물로 주목받고 있지만, 우리나라에서는 관심의 대상이 되지 못하고 있으며 상용화된 바 없다. 따라서 기능연구를 통한 산업화 대상 균주가 국내에는 충분히 확보되지 못한 상태에 있다. 본 연구자들은 미래 활용을 위한 B. coagulans의 확보를 위하여 볏짚으로부터 B. coagulans의 빠른 분리법을 개발하였다. $50^{\circ}C$에서의 집적배양, 산 생성 확인을 통한 Bacillus 속 균주의 제거, 선택배지를 이용한 enterococci 균주의 제거는 B. coagulans 선발을 위한 빠르고 정확한 방법이 될 수 있는 것으로 확인되었다.
