Abstract
The aim of this investigation was to resolve the contradiction between the results of Sternberg and Mandels (1980, 1982)and those of Nisizawa et al., (1971) in cellulase induction by sophorose, and furthermore to study the conditional effects in sophorose-induced cellulase induction in Trichoderma reesei QM 9414. Sophorose could induce the synthesis of CMCase and ${\beta}-glucosidase$ simultaneously. Optimal induction medium by sophorose had the potassium citrate buffer solution of pH 3.0-4.0 for CMCase, but one of pH 5.0-6.0 for ${\beta}-glucosidase$. At this time, two different types of ${\beta}-glucosidase$ could be induced by sophorose: one was extracellular and had maximum at pH 5.0, the other was intracellular and had maximum activity at pH6.5. Induction study showed that $methyl-{\beta}-glucoside$ was not a true inducer of ${\beta}-glucosidase$ and that large ${\beta}-glucosidase$ induction could be obtained only by the addition of sophorose into the induction medium. Glucose repressed the induction of cellulase by sophorose. The repression of glucose could not be overcome by the addition of cyclic AMP into the induction medium.
Sophorose에 의한 섬유소분해효소의 유도현상에 있어, Nisizawa등고 Strernbergdh Mandels가 연구보고한 상호 다른 결과들을 재규명하고, sophorose에 의한 섬유소분해효소 합성에 미치는 몇가지 요인들을 조사하고자 본 연구를 행하였다. Sophorose는 Trichoderma reesei QM914에서 CMCase와 ${\beta}-glucosidase$의 합성을 동시에 유도하며, CMCase는 pH 3.0~4.0의 완충용액을 갖는 유도배지에서, ${\beta}-glucosidase$는 pH 5.0~6.0의 K-citrate 완충용액을 갖는 유도배지에서 그 합성이 최대로 유도되었다. 또한, 세포내 ${\beta}-glucosidase$는 pH 6.5의 기질용액에 대하여, 세포의 ${\beta}-glucosidase$는 pH 5.0의 기질용액에 대하여, 각각 최대 활성도를 나타내었다. Methyl ${\beta} D glucosidase$ 는 ${\beta}-glucosidase$의 진정한 유도물질이 아닌 것으로 밝혀졌다. 포도당은 sophorose 에 의한 섬유소분해효소의 유도과정을 억제하며, 이 억제효과는 cAMP의 첨가에 의해서 영향을 받지 아니하였다.
