재조합 효모를 이용한 Hirudin 발효생산조건의 최적화

Optimization of Environmental Conditions for Hirudin Production from Recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae

재조합 효모를 이용한 hirudin 발효생산조건의 최적화 연구를 수행하였다. Hirudin 유전자는 GAL10 promoter와 MFal 분비신호, GAL7 terminator와 결합되어 있다. 재조합 효모의 성장속도와 hirudin 최종 농도를 증가시키기 위하여 최적의 배지조성과 배양조건을 결정하였다. 최적의 배지조성과 배양조건은 yeast extract 40g/$\ell$, casamino acid 5g/$\ell$, 포도당 20g/$\ell$, galactose 30g/$\ell$, DO 50%, 온도 $30^{\circ}C$였다. 이 조건으로 2.5$\ell$ 발효조에서 회분식배양을 수행한 결과 비성장속도는 $0.13hr^{-1}$, 최종 건조균체농도는 30g cell/$\ell$, 최종 hirudin 농도는 64mg/$\ell$로 나타났다.

The research has been carried out to optimize a recombinant S. cerevisine fermentation process for the production of an anticoagulant hirudin. The structural gene coding for hirudin was combined with the GAL10 promoter for controlled expression, the MFal signal sequence for hirudin secretion, and the GAL7 terminator for transcriptional termination. Growth medium composition and environmental conditions were optimized for maximizing cell growth and final hirudin concentration. The optimized conditions included yeast extract 40g/$\ell$, casamino acid 5g/$\ell$, g1ucose 20g/$\ell$, galactose 30g/$\ell$, DO 50% and temperature $30^{\circ}C$. These conditions yielded the specific cell growth rate of $0.13hr^{-1}$, the final cell density of 30g cell/$\ell$ and the final hirudin concentration of 64mg/$\ell$ in the batch fermentation with a 2.5$\ell$ jar fermentor.
