Abstract

Microorganisms capable of producing biosurfactant were isolated from oil-contaminated soils and seawater. Among them, the selected strain SW1 was identified as Pseudomonas sp. by taxonomical characteristic tests, and so tentatively named Pseudomonas sp. SWI. The optimal temperature and initial pH for biosurfactant production were TEX>30^{\circ}C.$ and 7.0, respectively. The optimal medium composilion for the production of biosurfactant by Pseudomonas sp. SW1 were hexadecane of 2.0%, yeast extract of 0.04%, $K_{2}HPO_4$ of 0.02%, $KH_2PO_4$ of 0.03% and $MgSO_4$ center dot $7H_2O$ of 0.04%, respectively. Under the above conditions, minimum wrface tension was 32 mN/m after incubation of 2 days. The biosurfactant was produced during initial stationary phase in the optimal medium. Pseudotnonas sp. SWl utilized various hydrocarbons such as Bunker oils, n-alkanes and branched alkanes as a sole carbon source.

본 연구에서는 유류로 오염된 환경을 생물학적으로 정화하는 방법의 확립을 위하여 생물계면활성제를 생산하는 세균을 유류오염지역으로부터 분리한 후, 생물계면활성제의 생산에 미치는 각종 환경요인과 분리세균의 hydrocarbon 이용능 등을 조사하였다. 유류로 오염된 해수 및 토양시료로부터 crude oil을 기질로 하여 생물계면활성제를 생산하는 172개의 균주를 순수분리하였다. 이들중에서 표면장력 감소능이 가장 우수한 SW1을 공시균주로 선정한 후, 형태학적, 배양적 및 생화학적 제반 특성을 조사하여 그 분류학적 위치를 검토한 결과 Pseudomonas속으로 판명되어, 편의상 Pseudomonas sp. SW1로 명명하였다. 각종 탄소원을 이용하여 유화활성 및 표면장력 감소능을 조사한 결과, crude oil과 n-hexadecane에서 비슷한 유화활성 및 표면장력 감소능을 나타내었다. 생물계면활성제 생산을 위한 배지 및 배양조건은 n-hexadecane 2.0%, yeast extract 0.04%, $K_{2}HPO_4$ 0.02%$KH_2PO_4$ 0.03%, $MgSO_4$ center dot $7H_2O$ 0.04%, 30^{\circ}C.$ 및 pH 7.0이었다. 상기실험에서 결정된 조건하에서 공시균을 배양한 결과, 배양 2일 후인 정지기 초기에 생물계면활성제가 가장 많이 생산되었으며, 이때 minimum surface tension은 32mN/m이었다. 또한 본 공시균은 Bunker oils, n-alkanes, branched alkanes등을 기질로 하여 생육할 수 있었다.
