Production of Single-Cell Protein from Starchy Material by the Fusant

전분이용성 세포융합 효모를 이용한 단세포단백질 생산

The production of single cell protein using the amylolytic fusant obtained from cell fusion between Hansenula anomala and Saccharomyces cerevisiae was studied. The fusant12 strain was selected for single cell protein production from starchy materials among five fusants. Optimum nitrogen source and its concentration for the growth of fusant12 were ammonium sulfate and 0.1%, respectively. Optimum concentration of soluble starch and optimum pH of the basal medium were lord and pH 5.6, respectively. Autolysis of fusant12 was effectively carried out by addition of 5% (v/v) ethyl acetate to the cell suspension and liquidization for 30 min before incubation for 24 hr at 3$0^{\circ}C$. Coculture of fusant12 and non-amylolytic yeast, Torulopsis candida YA-l5, resulted in the increase of the mass as compared to the monoculture of fusant12. The cell mass on tapioca medium was increased about 2.5 times as on soluble starch medium. The content of crude protein and nucleic acid of the dry cell were 39% and 5.8%, respectively.

전분이용성 세포융합 효모를 이용하여 단세포단백질 생산을 위한 기초실험을 행하였다. 전분배지에서 균체생성이 우수한 fusant12 균주의 배양조건은 최적질소원 (NH$_4$)$_2$SO$_4$ 0.1%, 최적 soluble starch 농도 7%, 최적 초기pH5.6이었다. Fusant12균체의 자기소화에 의한 가용성 단백질의 추출은 효모현탁액에 ethyl acetate를 5%(v/ v)되게 첨가하여 30min간 액화전처리과정을 행하므로 효과적으로 얻을 수 있었다. 전분이용성 효모인 fusant 12균주와 비전분이용성 효모인 Torulopsis candida의 혼합배양으로 균체생성량을 증가시킬 수 있었으며, 혼합배양시 종균접종혼합비는 6대4일 때 효과적이었다. Fusant 12균주 단독 및 Torulopsis candida와의 혼합배양시 tapioca 배지에서의 균체생성량은 soluble starch 배지에서 보다 약 2.5배 증가하였다. 건조균체의 조단백질함량은 39%, 핵산함량은 5.8%이고 균체단백질은 FAO 표준단백질과 비교하여 필수아미노산중 methionine 함량이 낮으며, Iysine 함량은 높았다.
