Studies on The Microbial Utilization of Agricultural Wastes (Part 5) Isolation and Selection of Cellulase Producing Fungi

농산폐자원의 미생물학적 이용에 관한 연구 (제오보) 섬유소분해효소 생산 곰팡이의 분리 및 선별

In the studies of microbiological utilization of cellulosic wastes, cellulolytic fungi were isolated and screened out. At the first stage, 221 cellulolytic fungi were isolated from different sources such as soils, humus, composts and rotten wood debris by enrichment culture techniques. In the second stage, 36 strains of fungi out of those previously isolated were selected for their cellulase activities estimated by means of filter paper degradation, carboxy methyl cellulose liquefaction and cup method. Activities of C$_1$-cellulase, C$\sub$x/-cellulase and filter paper activity were adopted on the final screening stage and five different strains which are tentatively identified as Aspergillus sp.(strain No. AS-9), Penicillium sp. (strain No. KNI-1-2), Trichoderma, sp. (strain No. KI-7-2, KI-7-5, KI-4-1-1B) were selected for their high potency of C$_1$ and C$\sub$x/-cellulase activities. When rice straw milled and treated with NH$_4$OH was hydrolyzed with the crude enzyme Prepared from the culture broth of Trichoderma sp. (strain No. KI-4-1-1B), saccharification rate was obtained up to 26％.

곰팡이를 이용하여 섬유소분해효소를 생산할 목적으로 전국각처에서 수집한 102종의 시료로부터 총 221주의 곰팡이를 분리하였다. 이들 분리균주의 섬유소분해능을 여과 지붕괴법 ？ 액화법 및 cup method로서 1차 36균주를 선별하였고 1차 선별된 균주를 탄소원을 변경하여 배양한뒤 활성을 추정하여 2차로 15균주를 선별하였다. 15균주를 개선된 배지에서 배양한뒤 $C_1$, $C_{x}$ 및 filter paper-activity을 측정하여 최종적으로 $C_1$및 $C_{x}$ -Cellulase의 활성이 강한 균주인 Aspergillus sp. strain No. AS-9, Penicillium sp. strain No. KI-1-2 Trichoderma sp. strain No. KI-7-2, KI-7-5, 및 KI-4-IB을 선별하였다. 이상 최종적으로 선별된 균주중의 strain No. KI-4-1-1B 조효소액으로 ammonia 처리볏짚을 당화시킬 때 24시간 작용으로 26%가 당화되었다.
