Abstract

To produce ergosterol Saccharomyces toke KBA No. 6 was used and various factors related to ergosterol accumulation were investigated. The most effective inorganic nitrogen source was ammonium chloride and 3.50 % of ergosterol was accumulated in the cell when the C/N ratio was 200/1. When Tween 80 and potassium nitrite were used simultaneously, ergosterol content and total amount of ergosterol were increased by 56 % and 45 %, respectively, compared to their control in which 0.2 % of Tween 80 and 0.1 % of potassium nitrite were used. Under the optimum conditions, ergosterol content increased from 1.73 % to 5.3 % and the total amount of ergosterol was increased from 65.2 mg/l to 135.15 mg/l.

Ergosterol을 생산하기 위하여 Saccharomyces sake KBA No. 6가 사용되었으며 ergosterol축적에 관여하는 각종 요인들이 검토되었다. 가장 효율적인 무기 질소원은 ammonium chloride이었으며, C/N 비율이 200/l이었을 경우 3.5%의 ergosterol이 세포 내에 축적되었다. Tween 80 0.2 %와 potassium nitrite 0.1 %를 동시에 사용하였을 경우, ergosterol 함량(%) 과 총 ergosterol량(mg/L)은 각각 56 %와 45% 증가하였다. 최적조건에서 ergosterol 함량은 1.73%에서 5.3%로 증가하였으며, 총 ergosterol량은 65.2 mg/L에서 135.15 mg/L로 증가하였다.
