Screening of a Potent, Raw Naked Barley Saccharifying Enzyme Producer and Its Application on the Uncooked Alcohol Fermentation

쌀보리 전분 당화효소 생산균의 분리 동정 및 무증자 알코올 발효에의 이용

Microorganisms capable of degrading the raw naked barley were isolated from soil, and the amylase productivity of each strain was examined on plate contained 2％ raw naked barley. Of the fungi and actinomycetes tested, 71 strains were subjected to subsequent testing for amylase production, and 4 strains were selected as potent amylase producers. Among them, Strain No. 281 produced the most potent raw naked barley saccharifying enzyme, and was identified as genus Rhizopus from morphological and physiological studies. The ratio of raw starch saccharifying activity (RDA) of the crude enzyme derived from the Rhizopus sp. No. 281 was showed 2-3 fold higher than that of commercial enzyme when the raw naked barley was used as the substrate. In the case of uncooked alcohol fermentation using Rhizopus sp. No. 281 glucoamylase preparation, the alcohol yield of the broth was 2％ higher than that of the commercial enzyme.

토양으로부터 생 쌀보리 분해 효소 생산능이 있는 170주의 곰팡이와 4주의 방선균을 분리하여 이중 생 쌀보리 분해 효소 생산능이 가장 높은 No. 281 균주를 선정하여 동정한 결과 Rhizopus sp.로 밝혀졌으며, 밀기울을 기본 배지로 한 효소 생산 조건을 검토한 결과 효소 생산 최적 온도는 3$0^{\circ}C$, pH는 4.5-5.0 이고 배양 시간 5일 후에 최고의 역가를 보였다. 생쌀보리를 이용한 무증자 알코올 발효 실험에서는 분리한 Rhizopus sp. No. 281의 효소를 이용했을 때가 시판 효소보다도 에탄올 생성이 2% 증가된 결과를 나타내었다.
