Abstract

Effects of temperature on sisomicin fermentation were investigated. From the specific growth rates for logarithmic phase estimated at various temperatures, 8.2 kcal/g-mol was obtained as an activation energy for cell growth. It suggests that cell growth rate was limited by the internal diffusion layers for nutrients or oxygen caused by aggregated cells. Final antibiotic titer was decreased with in-creasing temperature, and it depended highly on the temperature to which cells were exposed during the logarithmic phase of growth. Temperature shifts during fermentation brought about an increase in antibiotic productivity.

Sisomicin 발효에 대한 온도의 영향을 살펴보았다. 각각의 온도에 대하여 균체의 비생육속도로부터 8.2 kcal/g-mol의 activation energy를 얻었다. 이 값은 발효중 균체가 균사체를 이루어 배지성분이나 산소에 대한 Internal diffusion layer를 형성하는 것을 시사해주고 있다. 한편 최종 항생물질농도는 온도가 증가함에 따라 감소하였으며, 온도의 변화를 주는 실험으로부터 대수증식기에 유지되는 배양온도가 최종 항생물질의 농도에 심한 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 배양온도를 변화시켜 항생물질의 생산성을 증가시키는 방법에 대해 생각하여 보았다.
