Abstract

A soil bacterium synthesizing an extremely viscous biopolymer was isolated and identified as Pseudomonas delafieldii. The optimal pH and temperature for the growth were 6.5 and 3$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. Maximum specific growth rate was 0.24 h$^{-1}$. The specific polysaccharide productivity, growth yield and product yield were 6.25 mg/g-cell/h, 54.5% and 38.39%, respectively. The polysaccharide was presumed to be $\beta$-glucan containing glucose and gluconolactone (1.9:1.0 in molar ratio) and 1.35 % acetyl group, Element analysis showed that it contained carbon (31.85%) and hydrogen (5.15%). The weight average molecular weight by GPC was 5.64$\times$10$^7$. The intrinsic viscosity was 42.84 dl/g.

물성조정제로서 고전도의 다당류를 생산하는 토양세균을 분리 선발하여 동정한 결과 Pseudomonas delafieldii로 판단되었다. 이 세균의 증식을 위한 pH와 온도는 6.5 및 3$0^{\circ}C$이었다. 최대 비성장속도는 0.25 h$^{-1}$이며 염류배지에서 다당류의 비생산속도, 증식수율 및 다당류 생산수율은 6.25mg/g-cell/h, 54.5%, 38.39%이었다. 본 다당류는 포도당과 gluconolactone을 몰비로 1.9:1.0로 함유한 $\beta$-glucan 으로 추정되었으며 원인 분석결과 탄소 31.85% 수소 31.85% 수소 5.l5%를 함유하고 아세틸기를 1.35%가지고 있었으며 고유점도는 42.84dl/g, 분자량은 5.64$\times$$10^7$이었다.
