Abstract
Experiments were carried out to find out the optimal condition of SCP produced by Cellulomonas sp. KL-6 and to evaluate nutritional value for the protein of this organism Intracellular- and extracellular proteins produced by this strain were estimated to be nearly maximum, $266\;{\mu}g/m{\ell}\;and\;37\;{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, in the medium containing 0.001% of thiamin after 5 days cultivation. When used rice straw as carbon source for the cell growth of this organism after crusing them by cutting mill, and treating them with 1.0% of NaOH and 10.0% of $NH_4OH\;at\;80^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes and neutralizing continuatively them with 85% of $H_3PO_4$, SCP production rates were very increased to $1.63\;g/{\ell}$ (NaOH) and $1.47\;g/{\ell}$ (NH4OH), respectively than $0.5\;g/{\ell}$ produced in untreated rice straw. We compared their amino acids patterns with that of FAO provisional patterns. Amino acids content of strain KL-6 was excellents. However. when intended these cell mass to use in practical animal feeding test it would be advisable that destruction or lysis of cell wall should be done.
Cellulomonas sp. KL-6 균주의 균체내 외 단백질은 배양 5일째에 $266\;{\mu}g/m{\ell},\;37\;{\mu}g/m{\ell}$로 가장 많이 생산하였다. 본 실험에서 사용한 KL-6 균주는 볏짚을 분쇄 후 1.0% NaOH와 10% $NH_4OH$로 $80^{\circ}C$에서 30분간 처리한 후 $H_3PO_4$로 중화하여 탄소원으로 이용하였을 때 각각 $1.63\;g/{\ell}$ 및 $1.47\;g/{\ell}$의 SCP가 생산되어 처리하지 않은 볏짚의 $0.5\;g/{\ell}$ 보다 균체수율이 증가되었다. KL-6 균주가 생산한 SCP의 필수아미노산의 함량이 FAO 표준단백질에 비해 많아 영양적 가치가 매우 우수하였다. 그러나 실제 동물사육에 이 균체를 이용코저 할 때는 균체의 세포벽을 파쇄후 사용해야 되리라 사료된다.
