Abstract

가정에서 제조된 된장 16점으로부터 <TEX>$60^{\circ}C$</TEX>에서 성장하는 Bacillus속 균주 63주를 분리하였으며 이로부터 내열성 protease를 생산하는 1개 균주를 선발하였다. 분리균의 형태적, 생화학적 특성과 16S rRNA 유전자서열을 조사한 결과 Bacillus licheniformis로 확인되었다. 분리균의 배양상등액은 반응온도 <TEX>$60-65^{\circ}C$</TEX>와 pH11에서 최대 protease 활성을 보였으며, <TEX>$60^{\circ}C$</TEX>에서 30분간 열처리한 후에도 87%의 protease 활성을 유지하였다. 질소원, 탄소원, 금속이온, 인 등의 배지성분이 protease 생산성에 미치는 영향을 조사한 결과 유당과 soytone peptone이 분리균의 효소 생산을 증가시키는 탄소원과 질소원으로 확인되었다. 분리균은 말기대수기 이후부터 protease를 생산하기 시작하였으며, 유당 (3%), soytone peptone (1.5%), <TEX>$MgSO_4$</TEX> (0.1%), <TEX>$K_2HPO_4$</TEX> (0.03%)와 <TEX>$KH_2PO_4$</TEX> (0.03%)로 구성된 최적화 배지에서 배양시간이 28시간일 때 protease의 생산성이 최대 550 U/ml에 이르렀다. Among 63 Bacillus strains grown at <TEX>$60^{\circ}C$</TEX> from sixteen samples of homemade Korean soybean paste, one strain was selected for producing the thermostable protease. The isolate has been identified as Bacillus licheniformis on the basis of its 16S rDNA sequence, morphology and biochemical properties. Culture filtrate of the isolate showed maximal protease activity at the reaction condition of <TEX>$60-65^{\circ}C$</TEX> and pH 11. The culture filtrate retained more than 87% of initial protease activity after incubation for 30 min at <TEX>$60^{\circ}C$</TEX> without substrate. In order to develop the medium composition, effects of ingredients including nitrogen sources, carbon sources, metal ions and phosphate were examined for protease production of the isolate. Lactose and soytone peptone were the most effective carbon and nitrogen source for the enzyme production. After the late logarithmic growth phase the isolate began to produce the protease, and the maximum protease productivity was reached to 550 unit/ml in the optimized medium consisting of lactose (3%), soytone peptone (1.5%), <TEX>$MgSO_4$</TEX> (0.1%), <TEX>$K_2HPO_4$</TEX> (0.03%), and <TEX>$KH_2PO_4$</TEX> (0.03%) at 28 h of incubation.
