Abstract

We separated the bacteria showing protease activity from Reticulitermes speratus which is known as the only termite species in Korea. Then, we collected the best activated strain and studied the optimal culture condition for producing the enzyme. According to the results of observing morphological and physiological characteristics, and the type of 16S rRNA of the strain, it was identified as Serratia marcescens and named S. marcescens strain TM-3215. This strain showed the best activity under conditions of 0.8% (w/v) starch, 0.4% (w/v) peptone, 0.08% (w/v) $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$, $30^{\circ}C$ and pH 8.0. After being cultivated under optimal conditions for 9 hr, the strain produced 19.8 U/ml of enzyme, an amount 1.8 times greater than the control.

국내 1종만이 분포하고 있는 흰개미(Reticulitermes speratus)의 장으로부터 protease 생성을 나타내는 균주를 분리한 후 그 중 생성이 가장 큰 1균주를 최종 선별하여 동정하고 효소생성을 위한 최적조건을 검토하였다. 형태학적, 생리학적 특성 및 16S rRNA를 조사한 결과 Serratia marcescens로 판명되었으며, S. marcescens strain TM-3215라 명명하였다. 본 균주의 효소생성 최적조건을 조사한 결과 0.8% (w/v) starch, 0.4% (w/v) peptone, 0.08% (w/v) $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$, $30^{\circ}C$ 및 pH 8.0에서 가장 높은 효소생성을 나타내었다. 최적조건에서 9시간 배양 후 19.8 U/ml의 효소가 생성되었으며, 이 값은 최적화 이전 배지의 효소생성(11.2 U/ml) 보다 1.8배 높은 값이었다.
