섬유소분해(纖維素分解)의 미생물학적(微生物學的) 연구(硏究) - 제1보(第一報). 섬유소분해(纖維素分解) 미생물(微生物)의 분리(分離) 및 효소특성연구(醉素特性硏究) -

For the utilization of natural cellulosic materials by microorganisms, a potent cellulase-producing microorganism was isolated and identified as Trichoderma spp. Rice straw used as a substrate in this study was preliminarily treated with chemical solvents and/or additionally treated with acids and by heat, and then examined with the cellulase produced by the organism. Better results in sugar production by decomposing the straw cellulose were obtained, when the cellulase was produced by cultivating the organism in the selection medium, pH 5.0, for 5 days, and when the pretreated straw substrate was additionally treated with 0.1% $H_2SO_4$ sulfuric acid at $120^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. The enzyme production was increased by about 20%, when 0.5% urea 0.5% phosphate, 0.1% meat extract, or 5% orange peel was added into the culture medium. For the practical purposes, the sugar production from the rice straw by the cellulase-producing microorganism can be improved by extending the reaction time of the enzyme up to 24 hr or longer.

섬유소(纖維素)를 이용(利用)하기 위한 기초연구(基礎硏究)로서 섬유소분해능(纖維素分解能)이 우수(優秀)한 균주(菌株)를 분리(分離)하여 동정(同定)한 결과(結果) Trichoderma spp.로 추정하였으며 사용된 섬유소 기질(基質)은 볏짚을 용제(溶劑)로 전처리(前處理)한 것과 여기에 산, 가열처리(加熱處理)를 더 가(加)한 것을 사용(使用)하였으며 이 미생물(微生物)에 의(依)하여 전처리 및 산 가열처리(加熱處理)에서 생성되는 섬유소 분해 효소(酵素)를 시험한 결과(結果) 0.1% $H_2SO_4$, $120^{\circ}C$, 한시간동안 처리한 것을 기질(基質)로 하였을 때 효소활성(酵素活性)이 높았다. 또한 pH 5.0, 5일(日) 배양(培養)에서 효소활성(酵素活性)이 증가(增加)하였으며 요소첨가시 20%. 인산칼륨첨가시 21%, 육류추출물첨가시 25%, 감귤피첨가시 19%의 증가(增加)를 나타냈다. 48시간(時間) 효소반응(酵素反應)을 시켰을 때 전처리기질(前處理基質)보다 산(酸), 가열처리기질(加熱處理基質)이 효소활성(酵素活性)이 높았으며 24시간후(時間後)에는 활성(活性)이 완만하였다.
