Abstract

Cultural conditions of Lactococcus sp. 1112-1, a bacteriocin producing strain, were studied for enhancing its production with regard to environmental and nutritional factors. Optimal compositions of culture medium for bacteriocin production were glucose 20 g/l as carbon source, casein acid hydrolyzate 15 g/l as nitrogen source, and sodium acetate 3 g/l, ammonium citrate 2 g/l as morganic salt with other basal components. The optimal pH of medium and fermentation temperature were 6.2 and $35^{\circ}C$, respectively. This strain required exclusively riboflavin and pantothenic acid for growth and bacteriocin production. In a 1l batch culture, stationary phase emerged after 8.5 hours of fermentation when 1.81 g/l of biomass was accumulated. The maximum antimicrobial activity was 3,894 IU/ml after 12 hours.

Bacteriocin 생산균주인 Lactococcus sp. 111-2의 최적 배양조건과 배양 특성을 검토하였다. 탄소원은 glucose 20g/l, 질소원은 casein acid hydrolyzate 15g/l, 무기염류는 sodium acetate 3g/l와 ammonium citrate 2g/l가 bacteriocin 생성에 많은 영향을 주는 것으로 타났으며, 배지 pH는 6.2, 발효온도는 $35^{\circ}C$일 때 높은 생성수율을 보였다. 선발균주는 증식 및 항균물질의 생성에 riboflavin과 pantotheinc acid의 비타민을 요구하였다. 회분식 발효시 항균성물질의 생산패턴은 배양 12시간에 3,894IU/ml로 최대를 나타냈으며 균체생성은 배양 8.5시간에 정상기에 도달하였다.
