Abstract

For the production of riboflavin, strain development of Ashbya gossypii NRRL Y-1056 was attempted by NTG(N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidne) treatment. The optimum composition of culture medium and other culture conditions for the production of riboflavin by selected mutant Ashbya gossypii JAG-13 were determined. The optimum composition of medium was 9% of corn oil, 3% of gellatone, 4% of CSL, 0.3% of glycine, 0.2% of S770. The optimum culture temperature and initial pH of medium was $28^{\circ}C$ and 6.5, respectively. oxygen was essential for the production of riboflavin, but excess oxygen inhibit the production of riboflavin. When Ashbya gossypii JAG-13 was cultured under above conditions for 12 days with a bioreactor, 6.9 mg/ml of riboflavin was produced.

리보플라빈을 생산하기 위하여 Ashbya gosspii NRRL Y-1056의 균주개량을 시도하였으며 선발한 변이주 Ashbua gossypii JAG-13에 의한 리보플라빈의 생산시의 최적 배지조성 및 배양조건을 결정하였다. 최적 배지조성은 9%의 옥수수 기름, 3%의 젤라톤, 4%의 CSL, 0.3%의 글리신, 0.2%의 자당 지방산 에스테르 S770 였다. 배양배지의 초기 pH와 최적 배양온도는 각각 pH 6.5 와 $28^{\circ}C$였다. 산소의 공급은 리보플라빈의 생산에 필수적이었으나 과도한 산소의 공급은 오히려 리보플라빈의 생산을 저해하였다. Ashbya gosspii JAG-13을 위와같은 조건에서 생물배양기를 이용하여 12일간 배양하여 6.9 mg/ml의 리보플라빈을 생산하였다.
