Studies on the Isolation and Identification of Lactic Acid Bacteria and its Utilization for Pharmaceutical Preparation

유산균의 분리와 동정 및 제제화에 관한 연구

A microbial strain capable of producing lactic acid was isolated and identified as Streptococcus faecium. During the incubation of the isolated bacterium in a synthetic medium (Petterson broth), the optimal temperature was 36 to 39$^{\circ}C$ and the cell concentration at stationary growth phase was 2.1${\times}$10$\^$8/ viable cells/ml. When it was dried in vacuum and diluted with avicel, the Viability of Streptococcus faecium in physiological saline solution was decreased to 80％ after incubation for 48 hr at 37$^{\circ}C$, whereas the viability was above 90％ after incubation for 1 hr at 40$^{\circ}C$ and the viability in M buffer solution (pH 4.5∼9.0) at 37$^{\circ}C$ was above 95％. From these data it was concluded that the isolated microbe must be adoptible for pharmaceutical preparation such as solid dosage form.

분리된 미생물은 pH 4.5내지 pH 8.0에서 100% 안정성을 나타내며 에너지원이 전혀 공급되지 않은 상태에서도 37$^{\circ}C$의 용액중에서 48시간 이고 경과시도 80% 이상의 높은 생존율을 나타낸다. 생리식염수에서는 4$0^{\circ}C$에서 한 시간 방치하는 경우도 90% 이상의 높은 생존율을 나타낸다는 것을 알수 있었다. 이러한 조건들을 검토해볼 때 생장내 조건에서 상당히 안정하며 경구투여제로 투여하기에 충분히 적당하다고 결론지을 수 있겠다. 특히 포만시에 투여하는 것이 더욱 효과적인 것으로 사료되므로 소화제등과 혼용한 약제로 축발하는 것이 바람직하리라 기대된다.
