초록

높은 원가인 펩톤을 다른 질소원으로 대체하기 위하여 콩 혹은 효모의 질소원 대체가능성을 검토한 결과 효모의 농도를 0.5%의 펩톤과 동등한 양의 질소원으로 하였을 때 amylase의 생산성이 2.30 U/ml로써 가장 높았다. 때문에 높은 원가의 펩톤을 효모로 대체하는 것이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

Trichoderma inhamatum KSJ1, a filamentous fungus, isolated from rotten wood showed high ability to hydrolysis of cellulosic materials. Enzyme productivity by strain KSJ1 was high in the cultivation using carbon sources such as cellulosic materials and lignocellulosic wastes as rice straw and paper waste. In previous study peptone was one of optimum organic nitrogen sources in producing cellulases for saccharification of food wastes. However, it was too expensive using peptone as organic nitrogen source, so, in this study, soybean and yeast were applicated to substitute peptone. Yeast showed producing high enzyme activity, so it was estimated that yeast is available in producing cellulase using Trichoderma inhamatum KSJ1 at industrial Production.
