Abstract
These experiments were performed to investigate the culture condition, characteristic of crude enzyme and the heat resistance of the acid protease by Aspergillus awamori U-3. The results obtained were as follows: 1. The optimum culture temperature and time on wheat bran medium and defatted rice bran medium were 3$0^{\circ}C$ and 72 hrs, respectively. The optimum amount of added water was 100~120 ％ on wheat bran medium and 100~130 ％ on de-fatted rice bran medium. 2. Of the these various ingredients, addition of KN $O_3$, glutamic acid and glucose on wheat bran medium and addition Of KN $O_3$, (N $H_4$)$_2$S $O_4$, glucose, lactose, K $H_2$P $O_4$ and MgC $l_2$ on defatted rice bran medium were very effective. On wheat bran medium, concentration of addition of glucose, KN $O_3$ and glutamic acid were 3.0~4.0％, 0.2~0.4 ％ and 1.0％, respectively. 3. The optimum pH for the enzyme action was 2.4 ％, the optimum temperature about 45$^{\circ}C$ and the stable pH range 2.0~5.0, The enzyme was stable below 5$0^{\circ}C$ and was inactivated rapidly above 5$0^{\circ}C$. 4. The addition of CaC $l_2$ and CaS $O_4$ as the heat resistance agents showed the slight resistance. 5. When the enzyme solution added with the heat resistance agents (CaC1$_{2}$ and CaS $O_2$) was heated for 10-30 minutes at 6$0^{\circ}C$, their remaining activities were decreased largely above 20 minutes and The heat resistance effects of CaC $l_2$ and CaS $O_4$ were not observed almost at 8$0^{\circ}C$.
Aspergillus 속균중 Asp. awamori U-3가 acid protease의 생산능이 우수함으로 효소생산에 미치는 배양조건 및 조효소의 특성을 검토하고 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 최적배양온도는 3$0^{\circ}C$, 최적배양시간은 72 시간, 최적첨수량은 wheat bran medium 에서는 100~120 %, defatted rice bran medium 에서는 100~130%이었다. 2. 명종 성분중 wheat bran medium에는 KN $O_3$, glutamic acid, glucose 가, defatted rice bran me-dium 에는 KN $O_3$, (N $H_4$)$_2$S $O_4$, glucose, lactose, K $H_2$P $O_4$ 및 MgC $l_2$의 첨가가 특히 효과적이었으며, wheat bran medium 에서 가장 효과적인 glucose, KN $O_3$와 glutamic acid의 최적 첨가농도는 명명 3.0~4.0%, 0.2~0.4%, 1.0 %이었다. 3. 본효소의 작용 최적 pH는 2.4, 최적온도는 45$^{\circ}C$내외, 안정 pH 범위는 2.0~5.0이고, 5$0^{\circ}C$ 이하에서는안정하나 그 이상에서는 급격하게 불활성화 되었다. 4. 본효소에 대한 명종 무기염류의 내열효과를 검토한바 CaC $l_2$와 CaS $O_4$ 가 약간의 내열효과를 나타내었다. 5. 내열제를 첨가하고 6$0^{\circ}C$에서 10~30 분간 처리할때 20분 이상에서는 효소의 잔존활성이 크게 감소되었고, 내열제로서 CaC $l_2$와 CaS $O_4$ 를 첨가할 때 다같이 8$0^{\circ}C$에서는 내열효과는 거의 없었다.
