Abstract

Beijerinckia indica was cultured in mineral salts medium (MSM) medium with various carbon and nitrogen sources to improve the production yield of heteropolysaccharide-7 (PS-7). At high C/N ratio, the high concentration of PS-7 was produced until 40 h of the culture, whereas most of the glucose as a carbon source was used for the cell growth at low C/N ratio. However, at the high C/N ratio, PS-7 accumulation stopped at 48 h of the culture due to the increasing viscosity of the culture broth would inhibit the cell growth. Therefore, the optimized value of C/N ratio was 33.3 (20 g/L glucose, 7.5 mM $NH_{4}NO_3$) for the high production of PS-7. In the culture with various carbon sources, B. indica effectively used the hexoses or glucose-generating sugars for PS-7 formation. Especially, sucrose was the best carbon source for the high production of PS-7 (6.96 g/L) with a high viscosity (40772 cp). In the culture of B. indica with MSM medium containing 20 g/L glucose and 7.5 mM $NH_{4}NO_3$ in a 51 fermentor, the highest cell concentration was 2.5 g/L and the highest concentration of PS-7 was 7.5 g/L (35174 cp). The additional nitrogen sources of 7.5 mM $NH_{4}NO_3$, glutamine and glutamate at 12 h of the culture after exhaustion of a nitrogen source regulated the metabolism of carbon sources, therefore the nitrogen sources could control PS-7 synthesis.

Beijerinckia indica를 통한 Heteropolysaccharide-7(PS-7)생산 최적화를 위해 다양한 탄소원과 질소원을 첨가하여 다른 배지 조성들이 PS-7에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 높은 C/N ratio에서 PS-7 생산을 배양 40시간까지 효과적으로 증가시킬 수 있었으며 낮은 C/N ratio에선 탄소원으로 첨가한 glucose가 균체의 생산에 사용되었을뿐 PS-7의 생산은 낮았다. 하지만, 높은 C/N ratio에서는 배양액의 점도로 균체의 생산이 정체하는 것으로 보아 본 실험에서는 20g/l glucose와 $NH_{4}NO_3$ 7.5 mM으로 33.3의 C/N ratio가 PS-7 생산에 적절한 비율인 것으로 관찰되었다. 다양한 탄소원을 첨가한 결과, B. indica는 PS-7 생산을 위하여 탄소원으로 hexose 또는 glucose-generating 당을 효율적으로 이용할 수 있었다. Beijerinckia indica를 이용한 PS-7 생산을 위해 첨가한 다양한 탄소원 중 sucrose 농도가 최고의 PS-7(6.96 g/L)을 생산 하였다. 51 배양기를 이용한 배양에서 탄소원 20 g/L glucose, 질소원 7.5 mM $NH_{4}NO_3$이 포함된 MSM 배지내 배양된 B. indica의 세포 농도가 최고 2.5 g/L이였고, 생산된 최고 PS-7농도는 7.5 g/L(35174 cp)으로 나타났다. 질소원이 완전히 소모된 12시간 이후, 7.5 mM의 $NH_{4}NO_3$, glutamine, glutamate을 첨가한 MSM 배지에서의 B. indica 배앙 결과, 질소원이 B. indica 내에서 탄소원 대사를 조절하는 역할을 하는 것을 관찰할 수 있었으며 최종적으로 PS-7의 생산을 조절할 수 있었다.
