Abstract

From leaf mold and reclamation site soil of the Capital area of Korea, 3 poly(butylene succinate-co-butylene adipate: PBSA)-degrading strains were isolated through the clear zone test. The PBSA-degrading activities of the strains were assessed by means of a modified Sturm test using 0.01% of PBSA film as a sole carbon source. After the modified Sturm tests for 40 days at the respective isolation temperatures, the 3 strains degraded 30%, 55% and 43% of PBSA, respectively. The isolated strains were identified to be Burkholderia cepacia PBSA-4, Bacillus licheniformisPBSA-5 and Burkholderia sp. PBSA-6 through the 16S rDNA gene sequence analysis. Among them, PBSA-5 degraded both PBSA and Poly(vinyl alcohol). The degradation activity of the PBSA degrading strains appeared to be high at moderate temperatures such as $27^{\circ}C$ and $37^{\circ}C$, and initial inoculum size of $10^{10}cfu\;mL^{-1}$ degraded PBSA 1.2~1.3 more times than that $10^9cfu\;mL^{-1}$. Addition of 0.1 or 0.5% (w/w) of gelatin, yeast extract and ammonium sulfate raised the PBSA degrading activity, and especially addition of 0.1% (w/w) of gelatin enhanced the PBSA degrading activity by more than 33%. The mixed strains degraded PBSA faster than the single strain.

우리나라 서울시와 경기도 일대의 토양으로부터 poly(butylene succinate-co-butylene adipate: PBSA)를 분해하는 중온성세균 3주를 분리하였다. 0.01%의 PBSA film이 유일 탄소원으로 첨가된 변형 Sturm test에서 40일간 PBSA의 생분해도는 각 분리균주가 30%, 55% 및 43%를 나타내었으며, 이 중 Bacillus licheniformis PBSA-5의 경우는 PBSA뿐만 아니라 PVA에도 분해 활성을 나타내어 산업적으로 매우 유용하게 사용될 것으로 사료된다. 분리균주에 대한 16S rDNA 염기서열분석 결과로부터 각각 Burkholderia cepacia PBSA-4, Bacillus licheniformis PBSA-5 및 Burkholderia sp. PBSA-6로 동정되었다. 분리균주들의 PBSA 분해 활성은 $27^{\circ}C$에서 가장 높게 나타났으며, $47^{\circ}C$ 이상의 고온에서는 분해 활성이 감소하였다. 초기 균 접종량이 $10^{10}cfu\;mL^{-1}$일 때 $10^9cfu\;mL^{-1}$보다 PBSA의 분해 활성이 약 1.2~1.3배 증가하였다. 0.1 및 0.5%의 gelatin, yeast extract 및 ammonium sulfate를 첨가한 경우에 PBSA의 분해 활성이 증가하였는데, 특히 0.1% gelatin의 첨가는 PBSA의 분해 활성을 33% 증진시켰다. 또한 각 분리균주를 단독 배양할 때보다 두 균주를 혼합 배양한 경우는 PBSA의 분해 활성이 약 1.2배~2.1배까지 증진되어 PBSA의 생분해도는 54~68%에 도달하였다.
