초록
Pullulanase 생산력이 높은 세균 No.S-76을 토양으로부터 분리하였다. 분리된 균은 0.4~$0.6\times 0.8$~1.4 $\mu\textrm{m}$의 크기의 gram음성, 간균으로서 운동성이 있으며, 여러가지 특성을 조사한 결과 Bergey의 세균분류 동종법에 따라 Aeromonas caviae로 동정되었다. 본 균의 pullulanase 생산배지로서는 탄소원은 1 pullulan, soluble strach 또는 corn starch가, 질소원으로는 0.5% yeast extract 또는 peptone이 적당하였으며 initial pH는 9.0의 배지가 가장 좋았으며 $32^{\circ}C$에서 2일간 배양이 적당하였다.
- A bacterial strain No. S-76 which produced pullulanase powerfully was isolated frorn soil. The isolated bacterium was 0.4~$0.6\times 0.8$~1.4 $\mu\textrm{m}$ in size, gram negative, rods, motile and was identified as Aerornonas caviae by Bergey's manual of determinative bacteriology with various characteristics investigated. The highest yield of pullulanase of the strain was obtained by using the following medium: 1% pullulan, soluble starch or corn starch as a carbon sources and 0.5% yeast extract, peptone as nitrogen sources with an initial pH of 9.0. The optimal cutture conditions for production of pullulanase were at $32^{\circ}C$ for 2 days.
