Abstract

The purpose of this work was to investigate the characteristics of a biosurfactant-producing bacterium isolated from crude-oil contaminated soils. During the incubation of strain HK-3 with 1% crude-oil, bacterial growth pattern, the amount of biosurfactant production, and pH changes were monitored. In order to examine the effect of supplemented carbons on the production of biosurfactant, cultivation of HK-3 cells in BH media with different carbons (e.g. glucose, dextrose, mannitol, citrate, or acetate) revealed that the production of biosurfactant reached the maximal level at the 72 h incubation with mannitol, which the area of clear zone was measured to approximately 7.64 $cm^2$. Identification test using the BIOLOG system, morphology study based on scanning electron microscopy and the 16S rRNA sequence-based phylogenetic analysis assigned strain HK-3 to a Pseudoalteromonas species, designated as Pseudoalteromonas sp. HK-3 which was registered in GenBank as [FJ477041].

본 연구의 목적은 원유에 오염된 지역의 토양시료로부터 분리한 생물계면활성제 생산균주의 특성을 조사하기 위하여 실시하였다. 1% 원유를 포함하는 배지에서 균주 HK-3의 배양기간 동안, 생장, 생물계면활성제의 생산, pH의 변화 등을 조사하였다. 생물계면활성제의 생산능력이 뛰어난 균주인 HK-3를 선별하여, 이 균주의 배양기간에 따른 생장 변화와 생물계면활성제의 생산량, 그리고 pH에 대하여 관찰하였다. HK-3는 배양 36시간이 경과하였을 때, 가장 많은 양의 생물계면활성제를 생산하였다. 생물계면활성제 생산에 대한 부가탄소원의 효과를 알아보기 위하여 HK-3를 다른 부가탄소원(예, glucose, dextrose, mannitol, citrate, acetate)과 함께 배지에서 배양하였다. 그 결과, 생물계면활성제의 최대생산량은 mannitol을 포함하는 BH 고체평판배지에서 관찰되었으며, 투명대의 면적은 직경은 약 7.64 cm2로 측정되었다. 분리균주의 생리학적 및 생화학적 특성을 조사하였으며, 주사전자현미경을 통하여 불규칙한 막대형의 세균으로 관찰되었다. BIOLOG 시스템과 16S rRNA 염기서열을 이용한 계통유전학적 분석을 통하여 동정하여 Pseudoalteromons 종으로 확인되어 Pseudoalteromons sp. HK-3로 명명하였으며, GenBank에 [FJ477041]로 등록하였다.
