Symbiotic Biodegradation of Furfural by Some Bacteria

수종의 세균공존에 의한 Furfural의 분해

Three Pseudomonas spp. and one Zoogloea sp. which could docompose the furfural were isolated from the enriched undefined cultures of soil. In the decompositioin of furfural thyey demonstrated protocooperation and synergism, utilizing 2-furoic acid a certain sudstance fural was subject to complete oxidation, which resulted in decolorization by mutural interactions. The decomposition was more efficient in mixed cultures than in a single culture.

Pseudomonas sp. 세균주와 Zoogloea sp. 한 균주를 토양에서 분리하였으며 이들 균주는 furfural로부터 전환된 2-furoic acid와 primary amine group을 포함한 어떤 물질을 매개체로 이용함으로서 상호간에 procooperation과 Synergism을 보여 주었다. 이에 의하여 furfural이 완전히 산화됨과 동시에 탈색이 되는데 그 효과는 단일균주보다 혼합배양이 보다 효고적이었다.
