Studies on Production of Heteropolysaccharide by Mutant of Xanthomonas malvacearum

Xanthomonas malvacearum 돌연변이주(突然變異株)의 Heteropolysaccharide 생산성(生産性)에 관(關)하여

The mutant with high productivity, X. malvacearum SNUF 560-6, was acquired from the X. malvacearum SNUF 560 with low productivity by UV-light irradiation. It was preserved is lyophilized stock culture and it was transferred to PDA slant to maintain viability fortnightly. Fermentations were started by retransfering to MY agar slant from PDA stok culture. The experiments for optimal xanthan gum production were studied in a chemically defined medium. Of the carbon and nitrogen sources tested, 0.4% sucrose medium and 10mM glutamic acid medium yielded the highest xanthan gun production respectively. The addition of 10g/l succinic acid stimulated xanthan gum production. Also 65mM $PO_4\;^{-3}\;(12.6g/l\;KH_2PO_4)$ was effective on xanthan gum production. Finally, medium 1 and medium 2 which have high xanthan gum production potencies were achieved in this stud. The components of medium 1 and medium 2 were as follows: Medium 1 : sucrose 40g/l glutamate 10mM $PO_4\;^{-3}\;54mM\;(KH_2PO_4\;12.65g/l)$ Citrate 2g/l $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O\;0.2g/l$ $H_3BO_3\;0.005/l$ ZnO 0.006/l $FeCl_2{\cdot}6H_2O\;0.0024g/l$ $CaCO_3\;0.02g/l$ Medium 2 : $Sucrose\;40g/l\;(NH_4)_2SO_4\;2g/l$ $PO_4\;^{-3}\;65mM\;(KH_2PO_4\;12.65g/l)$ Succinate 10g/l $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O\;0.02g/l$ $H_3BO_3\;0.06g/l$ ZnO 0.006g/l $FeCl_2{\cdot}6H_2O\;0.0024g/l$ $CaCO_3\;0.02g/l$.

Xanthan gum의 생산력(生産力)이 있는 Xanthomonas SNUF-560 균주(菌株)에서 자외선(紫外線) 조사방법(照射方法)으로 생산능(生産能)이 우수(優秀)한 변이주(變異株)를 선택(選擇)해서 동결건조법으로 보존(保存)했으며 PDA배지(培地)에서 2주(週)마다 이식(移植)하여 생산실험(生産實驗)에 사용(使用)하였다. 최적발효배지(最適醱酵培地)의 검토(檢討)에서 탄소원(炭素源)으로 sucrose 40g/l, 질소원(窒素源)으로 glutamic acid 10mM, 유기산(有機酸)으로 succinic acid 10g/l, $PO_4\;^{-3}\;65mM$일때 각각 좋은 결과(結果)를 얻었으며, 최종적(最終的)으로 배지(培地) 1과 배지(培地) 2에서 각각 1,050cp(12g/l), 900cp(10.5g/l)를 얻었으며 조성(組成)은 다음과 같다. 배지(培地) 1 = sucrose 40g/l, glutamate 10mM, $PO_4\;^{-3}\;65mM(KH_2PO_4\;12.65g/l)$, citrate 2g/l, $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O\;0.2g/l$, $H_3BO_3\;0.006g/l$, ZnO 0.006g/l $FeCl_2{\cdot}6H_2O\;0.0024g/l$ $CaCO_3\;0.02g/l$ 배지(培地) 2 : sucrose 40g/l, $(NH_4)_2SO_4\;2g/l\;PO_4\;^{-3}\;65mM\;(KH_2PO_4\;12.65g/l)$ succinate 10g/l, $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O\;0.02g/l$ $H_3BO_3\;0.006g/l$ $FeCl_2{\cdot}6H_2O\;0.0024g/l$ $CaCO_3\;0.02g/l$.
