Studies on Methanol Production from Methane by Methylosinus trichosporium
Methylosinus trichosporium을 이용한 메탄으로부터 메탄올 생성에 관한 연구
Abstract
The effects of EDTA(Ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid), Cu, temperature, and gas(methane and oxygen) composition on methanol production from methane with Methylosinus trichosporium were investigated. In this experiment EDTA was found to be a potential methanol dehydrogenase inhibitor since it causes methanol accumulation and 6mM was found to be optimum concentration of EDTA for methanol production. When Cu was added in culture media, the produced methanol concentration level was increased. Hence it is believed that Cu enhanced the particulate methane monooxygenase formation and consequently the addition of Cu could increase the methanol production from methane. In this experiment the optimum concentration of Cu was found to be 1mM for methanol production. When temperature was shifted down from
본 연구에서는 에탄 자화균인 Methylosinus trichosporim OB3b를 이용하여 메탄으로부터 에탄올 생성에 관한 실험을 수행하였다. 에탄으로부터 에탄올을 생성하기 위해서는 메탄 산화과정 중 두번 째 효소인 methanol dehydrogenase 효소의 활성을 부분 저해해야 하므로 이를 위해 EDTA를 사용한 결과 EDTA가 methanol dehydrogenase의 저해제 임을 확인하였고 배지에 6mM EDTA를 첨가하였을 때 전혀 첨가하지 않았을 때와 비교하여 메탄올 생 성이 약 5배 정도 증가되어 lOmmole/L의 에탄율을 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 Cu의 존재유무가 에단올 생성 에 미치는 영향을 실험한 결과 ImM Cu 존재시
